It will lock the rear a bit easier on downshift. I don't ever have a problem as I always ease the clutch out when downshifting.(coyote69 @ Aug. 14 2007,20:18) But, how does this mod affect street performance?
I have heard of excessive handle pressure and locking up the rear on downshifts?
Pretty much straight foward. You will need to install a clutch slave support or a billet sprocket cover to keep from breaking the stock cover.(coyote69 @ Sep. 11 2007,19:01) Got the ultra mod and cushion kit coming.
What is the difficulty level for the install?
I have rebuilt car engines and rearends, but I am still learning bikes.
Any pitfalls I should be aware of?
Any special tools?
(coyote69 @ Sep. 12 2007,16:06) What about tools? I have all the regular tools and air tools to rebuild cars, but the suzuki manual shows a couple specialty tools for holding the clutch.
What do you use in place of these?
yep if you get stiffer springs you WILL break the sprocket cover...a "billet" one is the only answer.(Professor @ Sep. 11 2007,19:39)Pretty much straight foward.

that is the exact reason behind the wrench...proper torque on the clutch hub nut and safely removing it without an impact. Many have shattered clutch hubs by using screwdrivers to keep them still.(coyote69 @ Sep. 15 2007,05:11) Thanks for the info guys
I ordered the slave support with the other parts, been reading you guys other posts.
Just wasn't sure about torqueing the hub nut.
