Throwout bearing wear-out is not unheard of in the NG900. To prolong it's life, you can avoid "standing" on the clutch at stops by shifting into neutral. When it gets really bad, do it and the clutch. A clutch is about $1K USD to have done because the ng900 not only needs the tranny dropped, but the engine has to be lowered a couple inches on one side to do it.
