Post Grinding noise while driving on pavement

HI I was out yesterday for a ride and on my way back i noticed a grinding/popping noise while i was driving on the shoulder with both right wheels in the dirt and both left wheels on pavement. it only seemed to do it when i was accelerating but, i don't think i was ever above 40kph. any time i cross a paved road it feels like a huge load or drag on the bike almost as if the brakes are being applied.
does anyone know if this is normal ? should i avoid riding on pavement altogether?
-also will driving on pavement for short distances cause the engine to overheat?
Thanks
