when I changed my spring and clutch I installed a roller bearing base on the torque spring. I know it probably wasn't necessary but in theory it made sense on how it works. What I didn't think about at the time is that with it being a thicker base and adding more load to the spring , is it hurting anything? I put the yellow torque spring in and it was the same length as the stock spring I took out. I didn't check or compare the collapsed length or collapsed pressure but now I wish I would have. I noticed the blue spring was much shorter but I haven't tried it yet.
Sorry for posting all these questions but this scooter thing is still new to me. I appreciate all the help and answers

Measure the Spring Winding thickness, you will see the difference there.
The Colors are usually associated with some kind of rpm rating, I run Both a "Red" 2,000rpm Main and Clutch Springs on my NIBBI Clutch.
Ask all the question ya want bro, I enjoy helping from actual hands on experience.
Ill post a link to my Ankle Biter setup, lots of pictures etc.

The windings are similar but I assume there is a tension difference. I will more than likely have it apart sometime in the near future. I will measure collapsed height and pressure between all 3 springs when I do. I appreciate the info from people with hands on experiments but don't want to wear out my welcome either

It will not make a lot of difference the spring in question is rather linear and has a lot of extra play
And the bearing is thin
