The four-pad calipers tend to wear, allowing the pads to rock. Also, the pads are retained by a single pin, which cannot react out a moment like the two-pin setups can. The clunking noise is the backing plates striking the caliper.

I think if you put an aftermarket pipe on the bike your problem will be solved.

I think he means that you won't be able to hear the clunking any more.

Had the same sort of sound.....
Found it to be the ram air intake tube. It vibrated and made a very loud rattling sound at slow speeds.
Take apart your fairings. Put some anti-chafe tape along the edges of your parts to cushion and silence the rattling and put it all back together tightly... sound gone.
Hope this helps.
