I want to replace my stock springs with the Speedy Moto springs and caps.

Are  there any tutorials about this? It can't be as simple as just removing the old and putting in the new.

Torque settings?

Loctite?

Sure is that simple.
If you not changing the pressure plate do one at a time.
One off one on. 7 Nm /5 ft lb

Or if you change the pressure plate tighten the bolts in a cross pattern
No loctite required the spring presure keeps every thing in place. [thumbsup]

Note, 5 ft lbs does not require a torque wrench. Its just a smidge more than handtight. Don't go Hercules on those suckers lest you want a snapped hub post.

Thanks for the help.  :( ;D I'm just going for springs and caps for now, so I'll use the one-off at a time method.   [thumbsup]

OK, so now I have my open clutch cover, but what do I do when I give her a good wash? Do I cover the clutch up with plastic wrap? I can't imagine that water would be good for the clutch. I never ride in the rain here in SO CAL, but I'm sure some of you open clutch fans have?  Any advice?  ???

Water won't hurt anything. As soon as you turn it on, the heat and motion will get any water out.

Sounds good! So I should probably ride for a spell right after the wash instead of parking it?

Yes just carry something to wipe the housing. I usually take a disposable towel. After just a few blocks I shut the bike down. All the water spits out all over the open cover, usually laden with crud from inside the clutch housing. Wipe it off and yer good to go

I ride in the rain with the open cover too. Its no big deal. If you were to shut it off immediately after soaking it, the worst that could happen would be light surface rust that would be broken free as soon as you turned it back on.

I would advise against getting it soaked, and then letting it sit for a year or more... [thumbsup]
