    On my1000e, I went with factory Suzuki clutch springs along with Suzuki fiber plates and a new clutch cable. The clutch works flawlessly, the action is silky smooth. 👍

          You probably won't find them just sitting on the shelf at the dealers as they won't keep that sort of stock just sitting around. You'll need to order them which means they'll take anywhere from a week to two weeks to get in. This time is necessary as they have to order them from the warehouse.

            Partzilla, G&S Suzuki, there are a bunch of online resellers that sell at a discount to actual Suzuki list price. Many dealers sell at a multiple of Suzuki list.

              Personally, I would recommend getting a new keyboard where the Y and O keys actually work.

                Stock springs are the EASIEST to find, but maybe not if your mother has to do the calling around.

                  Do not buy the ones that are described as heavy duty they are far to strong and are really heavy on the lever pull.
                  I made the mistake went for a ride then immediately changed them for stock.

                    Go with stock. I did the heavy duty springs right after I got my bike. Wow! I discovered why they said "Ape" on the package... because they are the only animals that could possibly pull the lever hard enough to use them. I replaced every other spring and its still a little stiff if I spend allot time in traffic. I am going to go to all stock springs when I put in my upgraded clutch basket.

                        I don't know if I am just lucky at my local dealership or not, but when I order OEM from them, it is usually in my hands within 4-5 business days. I always opt for the "ship direct to dealer" and then pick them up as the shop is only 15-20 minutes away. No shipping charges that way. I also could opt to have them delivered to my house but would then pay shipping charges.

                        Weigh your options or have your mom do it for you.

                            You should also consider changing the fiber plates and cable too... It's like changing your socks and underwear at the same time☺
