    Need HELP with Clutch springs!!!

    Can someone tell me the exact parts I should get to replace the clutch springs in my '80 850? I realize it could just be the springs themselves that I need, but I went to bikebandit.com and saw a bunch of little parts on the exploded model. Thanks!

    I got some EBC ones from Z1 enterprises. They are stiffer but I ran only half of them with half of the old stock ones. Works fine.

      The parts you will most likely need are six springs and one gasket for the clutch cover.

          And the die hards are gonna tell you the $25 APE Clutch Hub Nut too. The stock nut is too soft and will strip or loosen with age.

            I was just using BB for the diagrams. I have not had good experiences with them when I had to get parts for my Speed Triple so I will not order from them again.
