You are correct on all counts. You made the halves open easier by cleaning them. Plus some of the new grease will get into the clutch bell/pads. I use Dupont Teflon spray for the clutch parts. It sets up dry, and won't melt with the heat back there.
Also, when you buy springs buy ONLY Malossi or Polini. These brands I know are stiffer than the OEM. All the other brands I have tried are weaker or the same.
Your best bet is to place a bathroom scale on a drill press. Then use the chuck to compress the spring to a given height. Record the "torque" reading.
Usually the more winds on a clutch pad spring means a weaker spring. More winds = thinner gauge wire...
I recommend the Polini spring sets, and give your other new springs away.
The other quick cure is to go lighter on the rollers. Maybe 1/2 the weight of what you have now. The pulley spring, and the rollers work as a pair so lighter rollers will have the same effect as a heavier spring
