I'm trying to get clutch to be more lighter on the lever. My top end is a mugello 225 with uprated Camlam springs bought 10 odd years ago, so probably not what they sell now. Four plate clutch. Does the job, but not easy to pull in by lever. Have been told to change lever for dogleg type to help. Can anyone recommend a set of springs which are lighter in feel, but able to take a bit more torque than standard clutch springs. Thanks

MB springs are quute nice. Not too heavy and well up to the task of handling the power of the Mugello.

MB springs, correctly routed MB nylon lined clutch and Yamaha lever. Then you'll have a clutch as smooth as silk.

I use motor bike springs in many 4 plate clutches from 12 to 30hp + The best bonus is they are light on lever and dont seem to compress over time.
Just fitted into a clutch on mugello rebuild for a chap whos 70 yrs old
