Default Only 600 Mi. and the Clutch Fluid is Brown?

Just got my new '08 Bandit 2 weeks ago. I am @ 550 mi and the clutch fluid is brown. Why is this. I am going to take it in for it's 600 service but I am concerned that the clutch may give out on me.
Any answers on the reason for this? No visible leaks so how is it getting contaminated?
Thanks for your help,
Chris
