Compared to the 2013/2014 models, the 2017 model uses an assisted clutch design that lightens the lever pull almost 1/6th (16%) without reducing any clamping force on the clutch.
Removing 2 of the clutch springs on your 2013 model would reduce your clutch pull effort by 1/3, but also reduces the clamping force on your clutch the same amount. That's quite a bit, and your clutch will likely wear out quickly. You could put stiffer springs in for the remaining 4, or shim them up.
You could lengthen the lever, use a smaller diameter clutch master cylinder (14mm std), or relocate the lever pivot bolt. But they would all mean there would be an increase in the amount of lever travel. That may be a good solution if you have larger hands. And no loss of clutch clamping force.
