Practice, practice, practice. Keep your head up while you're riding it.

Like Ebbs said, control the clutch until the bike starts to roll forward, then roll into the gas.

My RC is a lot like Ebbs bike, doesn't like going less than 20 without slipping the clutch. I had trouble when I was going through MSF to ride on base. My Shadow HATED the slalom, and then before the second day, the lights broke and I had to use a loaner bike for the practical test.
