The local shop I like to use sold me some Clutch Factory brand clutch springs for my 1980 XS650. They are 20% stronger than stock, made in the USA and were $16. I installed them and wow I had much more slippage. I even switched from my diesel oil to Valvoline cycle oil- same massive slippage. So I bought some EBC springs (they are under $11) Check out the pic. ON THE LEFT IS 6 CLUTCH FACTORY SPRINGS. ON THE RIGHT IS 6 EBC SPRINGS
The brand new Cutch Factory springs- part number KGS-025 were under 40mm in length. I put in the EBCs and no more slippage. I assume this manufacturer assumes the springs for the 1970-1979 650 is the same for the entire production era.??..
