I have two different sets of springs that I can use on my bike. I've got some that are slightly stiffer then the stock ones which I've been using for several years. I just got a parts bike that has some that are so stiff I don't know if I would be able to down shift smoothly. I've noticed a little slippage lately and all the plates are very close to new dimensions. Will the extra stiff ones make that much of a difference?
I always found barnets to be annoyingly tough. 50/50 was ok. Most of the time I've run stock. Maybe check the steels for potential warping? Also see if they are glazed, maybe scuff them slightly?? (I've need to do both over the years on occasion.) Just some thoughts....
I ran that exact same set up with my R1. 3 stock and 3 Barnett. I didn't use all six just to make sure that I didn't get arm pump from having to muscle the clutch lever.
Using barnett clutches is asking for trouble. Their fibers suck and will plug an oil pickup in a hurry.
