Do I need the clutch slave support for 2002 with heavier spr
« on: April 15, 2004, 10:30:14 AM »
I'm installing OEM suzuki clutches.  But, I'm installing heavier duty springs, aftermarket.  I have 2002 Busa.  I've been told by some local mechanics that I don't need the clutch slave support.  Is this true?  (I didn't install the slave support).

Your local mechanics don't know what they are talking about.  Anytime you go to heavier springs you should have a slave support.  Good idea even with stock springs.
