Has anyone used the clutch springs (10% stronger) Jessbikes sells? or is there a more perfered band to use? this is for my KH500
Thanks

Jess has good stuff. I would at least recommend the 10+ springs.

Can we assume that you are changing clutch springs because of slippage?
If so, I used 3 Barnett springs with 2 stockers with a Sytec clutch release in my H1D and it was perfect

I don't know for sure but I suspect he is selling Z1 springs for H2 "upgrade". That has been common practice for many years. In my opinion, a much better alternative than using Barnett springs on a street bike.

Going with stiffer springs makes it tougher to pull in the clutch. I too have a Sytec release, now I can't imagine a triple without one. Since this gives me an easier pull, I have no problem running all five Barnett springs in my clutch. With this setup the clutch adjustment can be tricky, not much range to work with, but slippage is not a problem at all ... just my two cents woth

I have a kawasaki ball bearing clutch release that I'm going to us3..tearing down motor so will change out clutch seal...going to buy new fiber plates for clutch ..already I have a set of NOS steel plates. How many springs 3 stronger ones with 2 stockers?
Thanks

I also run 5 Barnett springs using a ball bearing actuator, I haven't pulled an easier clutch than mine. It must come down to lots of crappy actuators out there exposed by heavier springs???

5 Barnett springs puts an excessive load on all the components. I go 3 heavy, 2 stock.

I could understand your point about being excessive if my clutch were tough to pull...
3 heavy and 2 weak doesn't translate into equal pressure to me so pick your poison!

My H2 has 5 barnett springs standard acuator , and barnett plates ,syn motul 2 stroke g/box oil and I have never had a clutch as good on it the cable routing is very critical to get a light clutch ,It doesnt slip and will engage cold with no grabbing , and is lighter than ever before new parts make a lot of difference I think
