Default Clutch spring change o7 SG

I forgot to ask on my last post. When I did the 103 SE kit, I changed the clutch spring that comes with the kit. Now my clutch tension at the clutch lever is much stiffer. Is this normal? The stock clutch tension was nice and smooth. It took a couple of miles to get used to the new feel. Any feedback?

That is the way it's suppose to be. If you left the easy clutch in theres a chance the clutch might slip with the added power.

That's what you want. If you left in the soft stock clutch spring, there is a good chance it would cause slippage and burn out the clutch plates.
