Clutch Springs - 1000 vs 2000 rpm?

[123456]

what exactly is a 1000 rpm clutch spring kit? Does this mean your bike will start to move once the rpms reach 1000?

Is one better than the other?

123456,
Its the opposite of what you would think, it will take higher rpms before the scoot moves out and throws out the Clutch pads. Normally stock Clutchs come with around 700-800 indicated springs which require Less Rpms before the Clutch starts to grab. The Higher the Spring Numbers the Higher RPMS are needed, also because of the stronger springs you will have to keep on the throttle more to keep the rpms up.

Lighter clutch springs let the clutch engage earlier. That means you need less throttle to pull away. However it doesn't mean it's faster. The heavier clutch springs do not engage until the engine is spinning faster, which means that once the clutch engages the engine should already be in the power band this means that the acceleration is all or nothing. Heavier springs make for a much more aggressive take off requiring much more throttle before the scooter starts to move.

And just to clarify, the rating is for approximate DRIVE pulley speed, not engine speed.

try 1000 or 2000 see what feels better.
