Full Throttle Advice Please

[Banter]

For the original question, you can safely accelerate in ANY gear with FULL throttle if you're smooth enough with your wrist.

Ironically, if you want to be able to REALLY launch your bike without a wheelie, you need to learn to wheelie :)

Personally I don't do it - too much to risk even if I don't stack it, I could damage my favourite toy.

But if I had the balls...I'd learn to wheelie, so I can avoid them, and so they don't shock me if they happen accidentally.

This is a good point, pulling the front end up to about 3/4 of 12 O'clock is about the time to move to 2nd ( for me) so you can get better control to the balance point but it's full on stuff. I like a nice rise to about the 3/4 mark then a gental drop and change up, looks cool but with far more control but back to the point. Forward weight, clutch control out of first to the to the max toque as per gear setup, slip to second, watch for false neutral as this is your widest jump for your selector forks, then same again to 6th keeping in mind you past your max toque point 5th depending on your setup. Do this and on most stock bikes and you will pull an easy 260 -280 over a reasonable length. Of course this would only be done on an approved track or area.
