I have a yz125 2014, bikes been looked after by previous owners and has recent engine rebuild. I'm a fairly new rider so I didn't really know it was an issue until I sort of realised this shouldn't be happening;
Problem - i let the bike warm up, I give it revs and let it idle for about 2 minutes before I ride it from cold. I put it into first with my clutch lever fully pulled in and it stalls. I put it back into neutral, start it, back into first with revs this time (clutch fully pulled in) and the bike begins rolling forward as if I'm letting off the clutch, which I'm not. Once I'm out of first it's fine, not any issues I'm noticing in regards of gearing. Coming to a stop, same situation, I stop in gear 1, clutch fully pulled in, and it dies. I've fitted a new clutch cable which only made it worse, so I've resorted back to my older one. I've been told it's my clutch basket maybe worn, but I've also seen people say it's clutch disks etc etc. Please if anyone has the same opinion or think it's something else please tell, as I am going yo attempt to fix it in the near future. Thanks

As far as checking springs, you need to remove them from the bike and measure free length. Theres a spec in the service manual to compare to. Because theyre so cheap, id just throw new ones in. I had a yz250 where the previous owner put springs in from a completely different bike. Caused the same issue youre having. Without original springs or checking the length youd never know.
As far as parts wearing out, they go out when they go. Yea with that new of a bike its unusual but not impossible.
