Was the sidestand down when you selected first gear ? IIRC if stand is down bike will start with clutch pulled in but when a gear is selected it will stop engine.

Ball bearing may be from sprag (one way) clutch mounted between electric starter motor and starter gear. The sprag has ball bearings and ramps and will allow drive from starter motor to engine, but when starter released and engine rotates it will not back drive the starter motor.
