    would help if you said what bike its for....

    ether way they usually come in pack's of 3 so grab a pack made for your moddel of bike and read the instructions.. fit the softest of the 3 and see if the takeoff rpm is what you want, if its not high enough change to stiffer springs

    get a 3 pack.. there's different ones for a reason, the 50's its all about the pipe and how its rollerd up as to how high or low you want the rpm the clutch engages.. usually its a caseof trying the all and deciding from there.. there are more than one type also so the colours are all diff for the diff manufactors.. yellow are soft, blue are hard. thats ONLY when you use malossi springs, polini are all over the place, hebo are diff, never go by colou. just buy a complete set (around a tenner) and read the instructions for the diff strengths then decide where you want the clutch to engage. i guess with them and end up changing a couple times./ nobody wil tell you the perfect springs. garantee the stiffest are wrong for your bike

    malossi or polini... but get the set that has 3 sets (9 springs) then you have soft medium and hard, the instructions will tell you wich are wich.

    if it were last year id be able to tell you but i aint set a stock clutch up on a 50 in ages. i run stock with a ported t6 and a c16 and the power jumps in just fine. its when you have too much pipe for the cylinder you need to tighten the clutch... high takeoff rpm is no good for road use altho its the fastest. traffic is a nightmare with stiff springs.
