Clutch problem (bad bearing?)

Clutch problem (bad bearing?)
So here`s the problem:
I noticed one day, when I was idling my bike on the yard that there`s this rolling/dragging sound coming from the engine. I recognised the sound to be most likely a bad bearing, but where? When I press the clutch lever, the sound stops, and starts again when I release the lever to let it idle in neutral gear.
And here`s the question: What bearing am I looking at and how much would it cost to change? I`m somewhat of a grease monkey myself so I can manage basic stuff myself, but I`m not gonna atomize the whole gearbox. Could this be the pressure-bearing that pulls the clutch open? prolly not, cause the sound stops when pressed, and starts when let go...

Hm... At these miles U start to worry about every rattle and clonk. Specially if U would know my history of incredibly bad luck around automotive vehicles. ( 2x complete car engine failure, 1x cam belt snap, 1x back axle failure, ripped engine brackets, 1x motorcycle driveshaft snap -> pulverized gearbox, several bearing and cylinder cuts, back sprocket+ bolts ripped thru back rim, etc.. ) Gets U a bit jumpy as anything that could indicate a pending doom, propably does...
