Time for clutch work, need help?

Current ride is 2014 zr8000snopro. Looking for a smoother engaging clutch than what I’m experiencing now. Seems to me to be hard engaging and don’t ever recall it being otherwise since new. I guess now it has finally gotten to me…..several years ago I put in a speedwerx stage 1 clutch kit. Didn’t particularly like it much and feel it ultimately led to issues with secondary. With the help of a few site members here I ditched the big fin and went to a team secondary. No issues since and all seems great. I did however not make any changes to primary and left the speedwerx weights and spring installed. I’m guessing weight and spring changes may help me smoothen out engagement. I’m also not opposed to a new primary if there is an aftermarket out there. I’m an aggressive trail rider looking for turn to turn. Not really looking for a performance upgrade nor am I doing any high speed lake runs. I assume any help you can offer you might be looking for spring rates and size of weights…I’ll have to report back. Just want something smooth and reliable
Thanks

You're clutch kit is likely the root of your hard engagement. You could go with a lighter spring.

Power Block 80 seems to be a popular smooth operating reliable clutch.

There are some billet clutches out there as well, but significantly more expensive.
