Knocking from this area could be the clutch bearing or wear on the inner tangs where they mate with the outer basket. Another thing could be warped driven plates causing the whole clutch pack to wobble. I have never pulled a Busa clutch down but they cannot be much different from the ones I have so I would be looking at those points...esp a 2000 model with mileage on it.
Good luck

Back torque limiter can rattle a bit sometimes , but more of a worry would be the clutch spring mount studs , there a common prob on the late model bikes but the early ones did it occasionally too

My 2000 had a slightly strange noise at idle that changes when you pull the clutch in & out . it worried me when I Bought the bike at 18,000 km .
I have spoken to many gen1 owners since then & they all do it . I'm up to 50,000 km now & never a problem . Not a metal on metal grinding type noise more just a change in noise .Check with some other gen 1 blokes near you .
All I Know is mine sounds exactly the same as the other 100 plus Busa's I've heard running, Gen 1.
