Am I missing something?
bike in gear clutch engaged you should be moving forward ! so I guess we are useing different terms
if you mean clutch is withdrawn in gear with engine running then I would suggest its more likely to be clutch drag that is impeding rearward movement

clutch disengaged.but in gear.at a stop.

Is there any trace of gear crunch when changing from neutral to first? If yes it is definitely the clutch

I certainly get gear crunch when changing from neutral to first but only when the engine has warmed up after a few miles.
