Stiffer Clutch Springs

So, I was assembling my new clutch and it came with 2 spring options. I put in the super extra stiff ones. I then tested the clutch lever pull and it felt ridiculously stiff. Should I deal with this or put the other less stiff set? I will be putting out around 50hp, will the stock springs have enough holding power or should I deal with the supper stiff ones? Anyone have any experience with these problems? Thanks.

so even though the clutch cable holder(ya i kno real tecnical) anyway even though that flexes when i pull the clutch in, i just moved the clutch further down the bars so i grab further out and get more leverage. doesnt feel stiff to me and my hands were fine after the ride, no armpurmp during it either. i usually 2 finger my clutch, i think i get a more precise control. only time i use full 4 fingers is in an all out drag race. i love how quick u can shift these bikes, so much motion in such a short amount of time. how many fingers do you use?

so it turns out that the stiffer springs had no effect of armpump, but that was only trails we will see at the track. they are much stiffer than the old ones, 1/8 of an inch longer, and the tab that holds my clutch cable flexes when i pull in on the clutch yet the present no problems to me and i would deffinately recomend the purchase of some.
