Clutch ups are the best! You have more control over the bike. Try empty roads (big lots up for lease are good spots too) and get good at just bringing the front tire off the ground a little bit.
Initially learning to dump the clutch and stay steady is essential. If you dump the clutch and give it WAY too much gas you will loop it. However, you probably won't do that if you've been riding for awhile. Wheeling is essentially what you do at a stop light but exaggerated. Dump (i mean DUMP it) the clutch and blip the throttle and keep trying that until it is comfortable. You will learn how much of dumping the throttle and gas does what with the bike.
Hope that helps! Take it easy, practice, wear gear and stay safe! Plenty of youtube videos to check out too!
Hi @iggy
Sorry for taking so long to reply, I went on a vacation and did not check the posts, I ride for 35 years, yes I am already in my 50's and never tried on a road bike, I used to have an old IT490 two stroke off-road, which was very light and I did flip backwards a few time of it, but being light you just stepped off to the back and kept the bike upright. The ZX9 will be to heavy to do it.
