Giving high mileage bike some love. Now ran when parked?

Marty, get a new set of clutch springs, Barnett if you can, and just replace them. I noticed years ago the factory springs would no longer work well. Too many years being compressed and they lose the ability to work properly. I've had clutch plates from the factory still work well IF I replaced the springs.

They’re certainly inexpensive enough to give it a go. I put a set of Vesrah in an XS650 and the pull wasn’t noticeably more.
