Unless the bike has been drag raced for a long period there shouldn't be alot of clutch rattle (only slight) for the kilometers the bike has travelled. Or maybe someone has swapped the whole clutch assembly for an old one! The wear that occurs is mainly on the aluminium clutch basket and inner hub where the steel clutch plates (both steels and fibres) contact.A dose of fresh engine oil preferably thicker viscosity, may reduce the noise a little or slightly.The clutch is a wear and tear item like tyres, but it shouldn't be rattling loudly for those kilometers travelled.Good luck with the bike shop.

BTL can make them a bit noisier than other bikes but there have also been issues with the studs that the sping bolts screw into coming loose , if in doubt pull the cover and look, or take it back to be inspected
If its nothing you pay a small amount for peace of mind, if it is something it should be covered by the shop ..
