Ahhh... my kinda thread is this!

2nd ought to be fine on the ktm.
Roll along on a neutral throttle at a speed where you feel the bike is just trying to kick into some sort of powerband and then open it up. Without the clutch, it's vital to get the engine in that sweet spot before pulling one up.

There's a lot more to it than that, but without someone to teach you properly then you got to muck around. Took me a whole day to learn enough to find a balance point, and I still don't get it every time.
