So took my yz out for its 1st ride since I added new dry side crank seal, reed gasket, stator cover gasket to try and solve my surging issue while im riding. It stopped doing it like it had been before where it didnt take 10 minutes and it would do it really bad. I noticed today though it did it “off an on” but very little/slighty noticable as in I would ring it out and pull the clutch in and it would kinda do it till i fully pulled the lever to the bar and then sometimes it wouldnt do anything. Also found my idle to be kinda higher than it was previously so i turned it down and got it right. It was cooler than normal like in the 50-60s vs 70-80s.
Also found my clutch to be acting kinda weird as well. Hitting neutral and cant find neutral. Normally I never had an issue. I do constsntly use the clutch out of kind of a bad habit (which i need to break) so i started thinking could my clutch be going out since when i pull the lever where it disengages it may not be fully disengaging causing the weird rpm surging noise?
Other than 2 issues/annoyances the bike runs flawless and has power to the moon and back... im just lost here as i dont know what else to try. Ive done leak downs (cant get a good accurate reading cause my powervslve seal leaks), replaced parts.... someone give me suggestions.
Thanks guys....

I havent had it checked since ive had the bike.
Main crank bearings next to the seal have and up and down play? Should be zero.
Good seal on the pipe flange area? I use a slight coating of silicone sealant to make sure.
