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...
Your clutch basket has been worn down from years of usage. It happens, they make noise, it's normal on the F2. Part of the advancements in technology in sport bikes is that their transmissions are vastly more efficient, and there is significantly less power lost through there.
