It's easy to say a war is so important your neighbor should go fight it for you.

Well, technically, any time a shaft rotates in a hole, there's a
bearing. The journal is the lining for the hole and the bearing is the
rotating shaft. So, yes, there are bearings in a transmission: At least
four plus one for every gear and a few more for the shift gizmos.
Whether they're roller bearings is another matter.

Most motorcycles have multiplate wet clutches, and they tend not to
fully disengage. The leftover torque transmisison is enough to make the
bike o CLUNK! when you shift it into gear. Be prepared...

It depends on the motorcycle. Look it up in the manual!
