Clang when pulling and releasing clutch

Have an 09 Bagger with almost 7000 on it. Lately I can hear a strong clang noise when I pull in the clutch, more so when crawling in traffic and in the lower gears. The bike runs fine, shifts fine etc. Seems everytime I tell the dealer about noises they claim everything is normal. It's like a door is opening and closing.

It's drive line lash taken up. If you coast along at 5 mph or lower in first you can pull the clutch in and then let it out. Each time you let it out it will clang or clack. Happens when doing slow motion shifting and adding a delayed throttle input also. I find this annouying as hell, but it's built in so I have to live with it.
