    From what I found out is the clutch will be a bit "snappy" with a un-sprung frition plate

    I may be wrong BUT i think you will find that clutch plate without springs a handfull in traffic as it is in or out........it is more for competition use hence AP Racing!

    It should be ok I have very little bite on my current clutch, but from feedback on td5 it feels almost exactly like the s60r stock clutch

    I've done many miles on the road and at the Ring in an S60R with this AP clutch set up. It is an absolute peach, work of art and simply brilliant. You wouldn't know it was there if you weren't told. I'd have had one on my 850 if I could have afforded it but instead went with a 'Tim Williams' special set up. It is infinitely better than a paddle clutch on/off switch.

    Looks like the kit for us when the R clutch finally goes then, thanks for the info.
