I do it every weekend, and I am no pro (too fat) But I have gotten my stock Busa down to a 6.44 1/8th mile time.
DO NOT start in second. All you will do besides burn up the clutch is look stupid. But, If you do not have the throttle pegged and the clutch out by the 60' mark, then you can do better. I back into the water and then pull up to the edge where it is dry for my burnout. I launch about 4k and then roll into it quickly, using enough clutch to load the engine hard, but not dumping it either. On a 600, I would start at 5-7k and work my way up. I don't like "loading" the clutch, either. It is another good way to overheat it.
Oh, btw, make two, three passes back to back and then rest the bike for about twenty minutes.
