Thinking about this - I've just done a valve grind on a 40 year old bike (GS1100G) and as far as I can tell its the first time the head has been off. Last time the engne was run was in 2009. So thats 14-15 years that the valve springs have been compressed without change, some more than others. All of the springs measured within a millimetre or two of specified length. Same goes for clutch springs. Maybe suspensions springs are lower grade steel?
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
