2013 flywheel bolt question

So i go into a lowside without sliders so my stator cover got all rashed up to the point where it scuffed the flywheel bolt just a tiny bit. So i decided to replace the bolt while replacing the stator cover. Mind you i didnt have a rearstand, it was just in the kickstand. So i tried loosening it up and everytime i turned it i heard air coming out and the flywheel kept moving with the bolt as i turned. I tried to rotate it a few times then decided to give up because it didnt feel like it was loosening up. I tried to retighten it but it wouldnt tighten like the gears inside where locked up or so ethi g so i check the flywheel to see if there was a gap from loosening it but there was none then i just replaced the stator and filled the bike up with oil. The buke doesnt feel right though like it gets rough when i gas it and it is a lot louder than before. Feels like if i push it hard the engine might get damaged... Anyone go through the same thing or have any tips on what this could be?
Thanks in advace.

So did you actually loosen the bolt or not? I would guess that you didn't. The proper way to do that is to remove the clutch plates and use a clutch holding tool to hold the crankshaft in place.

I'd take a look under the tank for more damage. Maybe a cracked airbox, dislodged air filter, or something like that.
