Gentlemen... My first thoughts about these springs were how they might be easier on the hands and fingers. I now see that I'm not the only one who would appreciate the benefits of a lighter spring. On the reliability side. There must be a reason why Ducati decided to use the gorilla springs in the first place.
Thank you for the replies...

In the head desmo RT, or Desmo 450, in bevel couples, closing springs were mounted, the same as those of the traditional head without desmo camshaft, I believe that they too had the doubt ..... but will it work ??? ? The springs on the closing rocker, only serve to keep the valve still that does not vibrate on the release point of the rocker, when I was a mechanic in a team of the superstok 1000 we had the 999, the springs were not present, but because all the competitions we controlled opening and closing.
I don't measure the closing of the valve on my racing bikes, I only have to grasp it by turning the cam axis and feel the effort it makes to turn. This is what I do, it may not be right, but my 500 desmo that I have competed in Climb for many years, I have always done like this, like all my other bikes, pantah tt2 or tt1.
