clutch springs

Hello chaps,

I have just fitted some new stainless clutch springs to the 748. After fitment I thought that the clutch felt lighter at the lever. Is this the case or am I getting that shiney is best syndrome?

The springs have the same spring curl and length as the original ones. To the touch of my fingers( compression) the springs feel about the same.
The end caps have been replaced with new ones. Again these are the same thickness as the original ones.

I do not know the ins and outs of the (Ducati?) clutch. What stops it slipping? Is it just good friction plates or does the spring strength pressing on the pressure plate have anything to do with it?

I feel like I am being a bit of a muppet with this one but any answers would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

DC.
