I wanna ride this darn bike PLS HELP

Hey all, lurker now posting as ive just about reached all ends met with no solution. Ive had a 95 vmx12 since june of this year. Rode it for about two weeks on a failing stator and then came the serius issues. Was riding to replace the stator at my buddies when my clutch pressure just went on a vacation coming up to a red light, stopped it with brakes in 1st and it died as you'd assume. Pushed it to a gas station and got it towed back to my house after being stranded for 6 hours in summer heat. To catch up to where were at now
-Replaced stator
-replaced battery
-replaced slave cyc
-rebuilt the master cycl
-cleaned/rebuilt my carb
-new air filter
-fresh oil and filter
-bypassed kickstand switch
Bike still jumps and dies when putting it in gear and compared to my other bikes the lever feels stupidly soft. Im suspecting stuck plates as my last culplrit. Are their any possible ideas anyone has before i throw a clutch kit at this thing. Ask as many questions and ill do my best to answer ive scoured this forum looking for a solution and im at a loss with one problem arising after another.

*edit Clutch lever is currently tied down to rebleed, as bike starts moving when starting it in gear with level pulled.

I think you can NEVER go wrong with a clutch kit, and I am a huge fan of the DD mod myself. But, 1 question, have you changed the clutch line itself? The standard recommendation is to change the rubber lines every 4 to 6 years (due to breaking down......swelling, etc) and in all honesty, your coming up on 30 years. Your not getting full pressure from the MC to the slave cylinder.

Ill have to look into doing the clutch line, i shoulda thought of that with my experience lmao. Im assuming i can find the mentioned DD mod through these forums? Might just pull the trigger on doing my clutch kit then.

So now I'm curious what's going on with this red material on them, it's hard and very rough. My plates were all stuck together as well, and following the link you referred I seem to be missing this " piano string " inside of the housing
