Rear belt drive? I carried a can of Teflon spray on my bike....

Bike is really hard to put in neutral unless I do it while rolling.
Is this something a clutch adjustment would fix or does the bearing need to be replaced? Not familiar with the symptoms of a bearing going bad...

many good tips already mentioned above...
also consider:
a) sharp chirp, or squell -- secondary "belt chirp".
b) rattle, banging, grinding at primary case -- loose compensater nut.
c) rattle, grinding, squell -- primary chain or belt tension.

The write up below describes how to adjust your clutch, it is in the files with the manuals on Dropbox..the link keeps appearing in numerous threads
My shifting was hard and finding neutral was difficult. After adjusting my clutch, my shifting is now smooth and finding neutral is a breeze. This is how I did it. After leveling the bike, slide the clutch cable boot to access the cable adjuster
Loosen lock nut and turn adjuster clockwise to loosen cable and give full slack to your clutch lever. It should look like this.
Now remove the clutch adjusting cover to access the adjusting hardware.
Loosen jam nut with 11/16 wrench and turn pushrod clockwise with a 7/32 Allen wrench until stops (only with light force) now turn pushrod counterclockwise ¼ of a turn and tighten jam nut. Install cover.
Finally adjust your cable to give your clutch lever 1/16 of free play. Tighten the jam nut and slide the boot back in place.
Enjoy your smooth clutch.

Yep, I agree cause this happened to me last year.
all these things should be part of your normal maintenance schedule, right along with fluid changes. it all works together.

That was a good write up Doug, but I have to add 2 things to it, the 1st is, if you can't pull neutral with the 1/4 turn back off, try 1/8 turn back off, and 2nd that mower behind the Dog could use a little TLC,
we don't all wash and wax the lawn mower when we are thru with it. my little cheap assed push mowers get no care at all, not even an oil change and i have had 2 that have lasted me over 15 years each leaving them out in the rain. i figure it's time to replace them when the motor seizes up.

Well adjusted the clutch. It was way past the quarter turn back. The cover was a bitch to get off and now it doesn't want to go back on. Taking a mental pause and hoping it's not cross threaded...
The squealing noise actually seems like it's coming from the rear wheel. Still not sure though.

99.9% sure it's your belt. Buy some silicon dry spray and give it a good spray. When it works you can thank me.... and continue to do it every ride for the rest of your life....
