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

Probably the easiest way your to check your TO bearing to clutch finger gap is to do it the way the factory service manual says to. Just pull rearward on the end of the clutch fork then release it. This amount of "free play" or travel should be 5/32" when measured at the end of the clutch fork. If it's not correct then adjust your linkage nut on the fork rod. This free play will give you a proper TO bearing to clutch finger gap.
