Sounds just like a rattly old Fazer 600 FZS clutch to me, mine has a rattle that almost disappears when the clutch lever in pulling in.
I spoke to my mechanic about it and was told its absolutely fine they nearly all have a rattle/knocking noise.
He (Darron) my mechanic had previously replaced the basket on his FZS Boxeye along with the centre hub, plain and friction plates and all associated springs and screws to no avail as the clutch still had a rattle albeit a little less than before, but, 18 months down the line it was rattling at the same volume as it was before the very expensive replacement.
I have had my 2003 Foxeye for over three years now and the rattle has not changed in all that time, I have done about 9K in that time.
Bike now has 34.5K miles on the clock.
I found the cheapest way to stop it is a pair of soft foam earplugs, it also has the bonus of reduced wind noise. :thumbup
I think it's possible that the recording has amplified the sound (Recorder right up against the engine) and at what volume is it playing at also? exaggerates the whole thing. mine sounds exactly the same but at much lower volume.
Bit like a stethoscope up against your chest so the doctor can hear your breathing.
My personal opinion is that is still clutch rattle/clatter.
