Clutch spring guess was correct

https://pin.it/7cgOcii

My bike was slipping, especially in higher gears and at higher rpm when i tried to accelerate. Fuel mileage was sucking and i suspected it was clutch spring even though my bike had only 30000miles. Ripped into and found the spring was almost paper thin in some places. Was definately shot. I was a bit shocked that it was that worn at such low mileage. But then when I pulled the limiter springs, i realized they were installed incorrectly. Instead of )(), they were ((( like bowls on top of each other. Im guessing that is why the spring wore so early.

Anyhow, i tossed a Meanstreak spring in but kept factory limiter springs. Bike hooks up earlier than factory spring and doesnt slip anymore.

I tried to post a pic of the spring but cant seem to get it
