Default new clutch burn smell

Might be a dumb question, but I don't know a lot about clutches. Anyways, I just had a Spec Stage 1 Clutch installed in my 09 yesterday and keep smelling the typical burnt clutch smell... is this normal??

thanks.

Yes, dirty greasy hands during assembly will do that.
If it is holding the HP and not slipping, all will be good.
