Re: excessive noise
I wouldn't worry about the noise too much. As you say the noise decreases after the bike is warmed up. That is likely tolerances closing up to a proper fit as parts heat up and expand a slight bit. A good example is valve adjustment. The valves must set when the engine is cold. When the valve train warms up thing get quieter.
As for the clutch noise don't sweat it. Pulling in the lever likely releases some internal forces on parts from each other and they cease to make noise.
Have you heard a Ducati with the clutch pulled in? Scary stuff that.
