B12S clutch squeaking noise

I noticed today that when I pull the clutch on my B12S 2V (with the engine off) there's a squeaking noise which appears to come from the general area where the hydraulic hose attaches to the engine/gearbox. Is that something that warrants attention?
 
Mine does the same thing, also it will squeal when pulling away on a incline occasionally. I was told it was the thrust bearing in the clutch.The clutch works fine and to get at the problem will mean taking the engine out of the frame which I'm very reluctant to do.
 
It may or may not be the clutch bearing. With the engine off, you may be hearing the plates move as the clutch pushrod will transmit the sound. If everything is working OK, don't worry about it. If you want to check the bearing, to get to the bearing you only need to remove the swing arm. You can easily check it when you lube your swing arm bearings which you should do if you haven't already.
 
I doubt it's the bearing with the engine off, i.e. nothing rotating. Everything works fine so I am not too concerned - it's just something I noticed pulling the clutch lever in the garage yesterday.
 
That's pretty normal, it is indeed the clutch plate/spring creak when you pull in the clutch. Nothing to be worried about.
