Clutch Arm Spring
Just wired my pedals up and my clutch isn't all that keen on coming back to its rest position. Has anyone uprated the clutch arm return spring
on a ZX9? Or any suggestions on how to help it out a bit?

I just used a return spring on the pedal end.

As in a spring attached to the bulkhead and the bottom end of the pedal?

My clutch cable has a threaded end.
Attached rosejoint to the end, rosejoint bolted through the pedal. The spring fits between the other end of the bolt and the bulkhead (if you see what
I mean?) 
Can't find a decent picture of it...

Well it does comes back but it could do with a bit of encouragement if you know what I mean.

Just a thought - if you put a return spring on the pedal, won't the nipple be in danger of popping out of the pedal? A stronger spring at the
clutch end would make more sense.
Cheers,

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

Well not in my case as I have a cross drilled bolt through the pedal with a nyloc on the other end and the bolt just spins easily. My first thought
though,like yours was to just upgrade the spring at the clutch end. Don't know of a replacement though.
