If the clutch plates are worn, that will result in lighter pull. Also, spring tension varies.

I like light action. If there's no slippage problem, and you cand find neutral easily, no problem!

Or go to 4 or 3 springs. Costs nothing.

My SS1000DS had no problems with 3. The superbikes have 50% more power or more, and 4 springs can handle 2/3 the power of 6 springs.

I've got those slippers on my ST2 and SS, very good.

Instead of removing springs you can place 10-32 washers under the bolt heads and on top of the posts of the clutch hub. Three 10-32 washer reduces the pull about 10%. Then you can change the number of washers. Too many washers will space out those bolt heads and they may impact the cover.

With the three washers and a clutch pack with 11000 miles there was no slipping.

The only problem with that is that it moves the heads out, and they become more succeptable to crash damage.

You can aslo use a shorter stack (I generally use 37mm).
