I don't know if you ever got an answer to this question, but the 225dx seems extremely prone to this problem. Lots of people, including myself, have the same thing. On mine, the clutch adjustment doesn't actually do anything. It turns out the actuating lever inside the cover cracks, causing the inability to adjust the clutch. Looking for this lever myself, I ended up buying a whole new cover on ebay, and have been planning to replace it for some months now. Since I haven't actually taken it apart, I can't be sure if this is truly the issue, but it sounds right to me. Just need to get time to get it done.
