I serviced the clutch today and decided to pull 2 springs while I was at it. Took it for a 200km ride straight afterward.
Operating with 4 springs really lightens up the lever and gives a great feel. So much less tiring on the hand and it does not appear to affect the clutch efficiency except it seems to take up a fraction later in the lever travel. I was unaware of any slippage and as I am not into wheelies or drag starts, I am thinking this is a good thing I have done and it wont hurt the clutch one little bit.
I will need some new clutch plates soon as they are wearing on one side ( I flipped them this time) so I will see what it looks like when I open her up again in about 5000kms
