On one of the other forums (Kawa.) someone said it is good to pump the clutch prior to starting to "wet the plates."  Anyone hear of this ?  Does it help?
Have 2 bikes and 1 scooter (125cc).  Other bike is Kawasaki Ninja 250, as well as the Suzuki GS500.  Recently sold the Ninja.  Added the checkerboard decals to the GS.  They are reflective 3M decals.

Naaa ... I pour water ... that's the best.
