So I was riding home from work tonight and when I get into my neighborhood, I notice that when I'm doing about 20 or so with the clutch pulled in (no power to rear wheel) then about every revolution of the wheels I can hear some kind of growl, almost like a wheel bearing or maybe I need to lube the chain again?

How can I check for a bad wheel bearing or chain? They're all OE and it's been roughly 300 miles since I last lubed the chain. I used Liquid Wrench chain lube. Bike has about 9200 miles on it now.
