Are Suzuki Hyabusa clutch springs special?

I also made a comparison of the various clutch springs I have. I took the 4 sets of springs to Rekluse Clutch in Boise. Yup they are made right here.
I asked if they could rate the springs for me and how much it would cost. They said the never had anybody ask to do that. Looks like a 5 minute job so lets just do it. They did it for free. Thank You Rekluse Clutch.

Each spring was compressed to the 1 inch working length when installed in the clutch.
Triumph stock spring (yellow paint line) that came out of my 2006 bike: 50.6 lbs.
Triumph stock update kit spring ( blue paint line) that comes in the update kit: 73.0 lbs.
Barnett spring that comes in complete Barnett clutch kit: 84.6 lbs.
Carpenter clutch spring: 94.4 lbs.
I will be installing the Carpenter Springs.

Gday

So this afternoon I drove round to @Paul Bryant place and we made use of his very useful pressure tester.

Together we had.

1. Set of Barnett Clutch Springs
2. Set of MTC Clutch Springs
3. A locally made copy of the Barnett Springs by and old couple in Hawkes Bay
4. Set of OEM Springs out of my bike known to be slipping.

We ran two tests and repeated the tests. First test was compressing the springs until 60psi was reached the longest measurement was sought, in this the Barnett and locally made unit came out best followed by the MTC and finally the OEM.

Next we compressed all springs to a distance of 25mm (around 1") and read the pressure. The Barnett was best again, followed by the copy, then the MTC, then the OEM.

Not recommending brands here or anything this is just what we found and all three options are going to be better than the OEM springs.

I think I remember posts a few years ago referencing Suzuki Hyabusa clutch springs being very strong upgrades for Rockets and of a par or better than Barnetts HD ones.
The stock Triumph ones were not very impressive apparently and the common aftermarket clutch kit providers were not much if any stronger at all.

I think Neville did some measurements. I'll have a search.............But anyway

Seems very cheap especially with free shipping from UK.
