Ha, just had similar issues with my Fazer 1000, which roughly speaking sounded like a bag of small nails with clutch pulled in without any clutch issues, and I had similar comments to the ones you've received above in this thread.
Turns out to be the starter motor on mine. Not saying yours is starter motor, but it sounds similar. Located in middle of engine, although on the top.
Mine was a bit of a giveaway when I switched the ignition on last week (with no actual clutch problems), pulled the clutch lever in and it started the bike....kind of surreal feeling too, and that wasn't happening at first! :eek
Maybe worth your while thinking about?
Hope it helps mate?
