+1 on the SE spring.

Depending on your build, you may also want to consider the Barnett Scorpion. It is a great clutch with a manageable pull and a very good feel.

I am now using the SE plates and a SE spring with an easy pull clutch ramp setup. I also have a BDL ball bearing lock up pressure plate and the clutch pull is similar to stock. It holds just fine with 110hp and 123tq.

You could also get the easy pull clutch ramps and try that.

paul,i just ordered the same spring conversion kit looking at yours it looks like the picture on the web site i bought it from. but if you go on the barnet site there pic has a backing plate that the screws go threw and the springs press against, i called barnett and said something about it and was told that was a generic pic and their is a backing plate my question next what about the centrifugle forces on the screws at higher rpms

My clutch is an older one NIB that one of my Brothers gave me, I called Barnett about the plate and they told me not to worry about it. It's holding up fine. My ZX12R had the same set up with twice the power and RPM's with no problem either. It has a good solid feel.

It may be the auto primary tensioner has drawn the primary chain too tight. Stick a screwdriver through the derby opening and try to move the top of the chain midway between the clutch and drive sprocket and see how much vertical movement you can get out of the chain.

If less than a 1/2" the chain is probably causing the load on the clutch pack and making neutral hard to find. If the chain is too tight you need to ratchet the tensioner down and get some slack in the chain and start over. That is a problem with the auto-adjuster.
