Does the XR have a throw out bearing?

I've been looking into whether our bikes have a throw out bearing and I can't find anything certain. The parts diagrams don't seem to show one, but there must be something like it. Any of you familiar with this? Just curious.

Yes they do...Gen-1 and Gen-2 have one...It's part of the clutch pressure plate cover, not shown separately in the Gen-1 though, Gen-2 is #3.

I had Gen-1 '17 model apart to fit one of those "see through" clutch covers.

Top pic is Gen-1....Lower pic is Gen-2.
