There is a discrepancy in opinions as to leave them in or take the bolts out after removing the 2 springs. If removing them doesn't cause any harm, then that may be the safest thing to do?
I would leave them out. They are more likely to loosen up without the spring supplying tension. |

I would put them back in. Reason being that the holes could get dirt, sand, anything in them that would crud them up and you wouldn't be able to get the bolts back in later if you want to...

Thanks guys.. but again... everyone has a good reason to say leave them in or take them out. What is it going to be? I left mine out
I took mine out today and went for a ride. I must say that I feel the clutch much much easier. I was impressed. Thanks a lot for the advise

To be or not to be... to leave the bolts in or not... Leave them out. They can't fall out that way, and if you need to put them back in you can clean the threads with a tap. |

Will do! Thanks Ducvet I wanted to share info I received from Arman at madduc. He recommended this: "for better clutch leverage use: 1) 19mm. brembo master 2) stm slave cylinder 3) Softer clutch springs ...and that will make your clutch very soft." but, where do you find springs that state to be softer than the stock ones? Is the brembo master pricey? and in order of importance.. which of the above mods is the one that makes the most impact on reducing effort when pulling the clutch? This thread should be in the FAQS  |

This is a good point. How about some of those little screw hole plugs you can get at the hardware store? |

I'm not sure which of those would make the biggest individual difference. The master will be somewhat pricey, I think more than the slave. I've never heard of softer springs, and you will get the equivalent by removing two as discussed earlier. Bang for the buck, I'd go for the slave and removing two springs. Leaving two screws out will also lessen your rotating mass, making huge improvements in motor spin-up.  |
