I didn't change them for a week or so...I just couldn't accelerate too hard for a while when it got hot that's all...I survived...lol
The clutch plates on mine were fine when I changed the springs...no burning, worn etc

I have the same problem, when hot. Mine already has strong springs in, not sure of the quality though? Who makes decent strong clutch springs?
