I experimented with them. I ended up doing the medium and stiffest combo. No problems. The weakest ones will slip instantly. The mid and weakest combo slip bad too.

This is exactly what I was wanting to confirm, thank you!

FWIW, I did the upgrade. I replaced the 2012 basket with the 2014+ basket and while I was in there I also replaced the clutch plates with Barnett plates and the stock pressure plate with the Barnett version. I ended up going with the middleweight springs.
Just took it on a long test ride and so far it feels great. The reduction in clutch basket vibration is pretty amazing. It was always noticeable, but there was more vibration there than I realized. Gone. Also, the lever feel is very good. The response feels more linear. Prior to the swap when I released the lever, the first third of travel from the grip outward was essentially dead space. Then the clutch disengagement happened in a fairly short travel distance, and then there was more dead space as the lever was fully released. Now the response is a more constant across a much larger part of the lever travel, if that makes sense. Easy to feel, hard to describe with words.
Anyway, I’m very pleased with the changes and thank you again to everybody who’s posted information in this thread.

I am due for this service soon - do you have any part numbers you can share with me ? How available are the new clutch ? I found one one eBay, new old stock I think but not in the USA. Thank you !

I believe this is the correct part number:
2BS-16150-00-00
It looks like they’ve raised the price on it yet again. Good luck!

I've heard some good reports on WeBike.com. I ordered a drive belt for my Forza from them a couple of days ago and saved over $50 even with the shipping from Japan. They have the S10 clutch hub for $320 shipped to the US. I'll know if they're the real deal after I get (or don't get) my belt.

When I put the Barnett middle weight springs in I took mine out and got it up to about 40 MPH and whacked throttle to its stop. At around 55 MPH clutch slipped a bit. I went up a notch on the springs and it solved it. Been the bomb ever since even when I had to feather & fan it in nasty rock sections.

I’m about to do the clutch upgrade on my 13’
on the clutch plates and springs - do you have part numbers or where to look for this combo you referenced above?
I ordered the clutch from Japan and it did not come with any pressure plates and springs
thank you so much
