Been having some issues with the way the bike wants to start. Also noticed a crazy harmonic hum/roar when I would pop the gas, so after some digging, my own assumption, think it is valve float. not to mention i just adjusted the valves less then 10 hours ago. So I ordered new KW springs. After pulling the rocker box, I took, tried to turn the springs with my fingers. I could turn them with out much effort. These are the orig springs from 00 in the bike, been running a 3 hot cam for over a year. I think these old springs are just fatigued to death. Sure hope they do the trick. What is the seat pressure supposed to be with stock springs?

Dont quote me on this because i can't remember 100% but I believe seat pressure should be somewhere around 45#.
