normal to need clutch adj after a few months on new one?

sounds good thnx - appreciate your patience -just to clarify for less experienced me: Pedal freeplay is now about an inch (an inch pedal movement before it starts to disengage clutch) - the clutch does not disengage completely until I'm about an inch off the floor which seems to close to floor for my liking. If I understand you guys correctly, that off-the- floor distance is what I can adjust with the clutch fork rod adjustment? And if I understand this, in the process I might end up with some change in the pedal freeplay also so I should make sure it is enough.

From what you described a inch is too much. The play in each linkage piece added together will give you the total free play. My comments were to steer you away from adjusting your free play and thinking the clutch will be adjusted properly. Your inch doesn't sound right to me. It sounds like it is releasing too close to the floor. You may grind gears especially in reverse. Like AJ said, adjust it however you want as long as it's not too tight and the throw out bearing is running on the fingers.
