The bike didnt seem to perform any different but i dont like that its doing that. Is it a sign saying need new clutch or something? Any help would be appreciated.

Yamaha uses a bushing instead of a bearing there. Make sure that the shift shaft isn't contacting the cover. If it is, you may need to replace that bushing. I suggest getting the kit from Factory Pro that includes a bearing to replace that bushing.

Also, try some grease where the shaft comes out, make sure that the shift lever isn't bent and touching anything. You may need a new spring-one comes in that kit btw or you can get it from the dealer. Part number 90508-32682-00 costs about $4
