Grinding sound when clutch is disengaged

I noticed a problem lately when my bike is in neutral. When the clutch is disengaged and the bike is in neutral theres a grinding sound that is very noticeable. I don't know if it's the clutch itself or what? any input would be helpful!

have you done any work on the bike or any mods lately?

perhaps the clutch lever needs a little bit of adjusting to get it just right.

or if you recently changed the clutch or changed the oil, you may need to put a couple miles on it to get the oil circulating throughout the bike again.

i'm no mechanic, so i could be totally wrong. just post if you've done anything to or changed anything on the bike lately before this started.

No i haven't done anything to the bike this started about a month after i bought it... it hasn't gotten any worse or better since it started

Sounds like the clutch bearings are bad. And they are cheap.
