To borrow a phrase I think you need to ride more and worry less.
Adjusting a clutch cable according to settings in a service manual is new to me, in all my years of biking I have managed perfectly adequately by setting the bite point to where I feel comfortable with it whilst ensuring there is sufficient slack to avoid clutch slip. As this is a personal thing depending on your own preferences and affected by the gloves you use having someone else do this is unlikely to give the best results for you.
I appreciate that you are concerened but as long as the new cable has been routed correctly so that the inner can move freely in both directions by hand then you won't be experiencing any 'problems' that were not already there. I've experienced the rear wheel spinning in neutral and / or with the clutch engaged on pretty much every bike I've owned the Gen1 is no exception.
The clunkiness can be helped by having the correct chain slack which is a little looser than a lot of other bikes at 45-55mm. Fresh oil and lubricating the gear change linkage can also help to an extent.
Hope that helps.
