Thats your starter, I'd venture a guess.
I do not know about your specific bike, however some bikes have a pressed-on or other similarly cheap starter gear. Eveuntually the gear starts spinning on the shaft - causing what the rider thinks is grinding.
The other possibility is that the teeth on your starter or flywheel are broken off, most likely on your starter. Then you'd hear all kinds of cool metal gnashing together.
Either way, the culprit is almost certianly your starter. You just killed the battery because its an old battery and you tried to start the bike too many times.
