The spring you are seeing now it the primary spring on the motor clutch. The secondary spring is in the rear clutch. That clutch should come off the machine without any special tools. Once it is off, on the back side there is a snap ring that is holding the spring and helix in the clutch. It is under pressure so you have to push down on it, remove snap ring and then slowly allow the helix to come out of the clutch.

That color primary spring is not stock. Depending on what you want/need to do will depend on what you should do next. To lower engagement you can get a different spring, but all of your other parts might not be correct either. OR if you can find out what the spring rate is on your current spring you can adjust accordingly. Without knowing what brand spring it is makes it really hard. EPI makes both a orange and a red spring. I would try to get more info from the guy you bought it from to find out what exactly he has done to it.

Most aftermarket springs will have higher engagement then stock. Especially two strokes with pipes the higher engagements help out the bottom end power. How high actuall rpms will vary between springs and companys. If it is a smooth engagement and you like how it feels, and it performs well you are good to go.

I hear of more shifting issues because of linkages then i do of broken trannys.
