I suggest you Don't use the 2006 Mean Streak spring... use the current 1500/1600 pieces, part numbers provided in the mod.  The MS spring is thicker which was a plus with only one holder, but Kaw corrected the problem with stronger springs and double holders. Of course, it's up to you.

Look at a diagram of ANY later model 1500/1600 Vulcan to see how the holders work. I'll add a diagram to the mod instructions when I get the chance.  I used these on my 2002 about 5-6 years ago - works fine.

The long way is too Google search "ronayers" then specify 2006 Mean streak from the selection, then select clutch diagram

Is there a diagram anywhere that shows how the two holder is installed?

If you want to do a complete clutch replacement ... do what the dealer said.

But, you should measure the plate package and determine if they need to be replaced. On my 2002 1500, I replaced the friction plates at the same time I replaced the clutch spring... I did NOT replace the other springs or the steel plates. Measure them to see if they need to be replaced.
AND... use the part numbers provided in the below mod. This replaces the weaker original spring and singler holder to a stronger spring and double holders.

DID YOU PUT THE JUDGE WASHERS ON WITH THE MEAN STREAK. I DID   WOW   IT IS GREAT. JUST A LITTLE MORE PRESSURE ON THE LEVER.

I've replaced the diaphram plate twice. The second time I did the Mean Streak mod (at about 126,000 K/ 80,000 miles). I relaced the 10 springs, but only because I'd already bought them from the States.  I measured no difference between old and new. Plates etc remain unchanged.

Hello,

I have an 02 Drifter 1500 and the clutch is beginning to slip.  I've read the following post (and the linked articles) and the OP had a question about the 10 92145-1243 springs that was never answered.  I have the same question and the local dealer said I should replace these 10 springs along with the plates and other springs, holders etc.

#this was the original post that asked about the 92145-1243 springs:

Should I replace those 10 springs while I'm in there?

Thanks
