Default After fluid change

I just changed my primary fluid and now the clutch feels almost silky smooth. It doesn't slip but i keep thinking it's going to because it's so smooth. Does anyone here ever notice a big change in the feel after changing the fluid? The bike just turned over to 9000 miles. Does the clutch need adjustment? i'm not the greatest mechanic but bought the manual and have seen vids on youtube on how to adjust the clutch. I know it could need adjudtment because it's near 10000 miles but if this feeling means it's perfect I don't want to screw with it.

they all feel smooth and light after a fluid change. more so if you use automobil oil becuase of the friction modifers and less so if you use official motorcycle or deseil oils.
