you were probably sitting down.  Grab the front brake while stopped then plant your feet firmly while standing and make sure you have grip with your feet and front tire. And rev it to 7 or so and let out the clutch, not fast just play around with it but once it gets spinning make sure you let the clutch out all the way or youll burn it iin an instant.

Careful...don't want it to spit out from under you. Some of you are so cruel to the Baby GS, which I love so much along with this forum.

no, you aren't supposed to just pop the clutch...  it's not like a manual trans car.

do it like 94suzuki described, but MAKE SURE TO MAINTAIN FIRM PRESSURE ON THE FRONT BRAKE!!!!!  trust me I know... :oops:

you ARE being mean to it.  this isn't a watercooled 600 with a clutch designed for 140hp.
