My starts were quite a lot different to most peoples and there weren't many races i didn't lead into the first corner last year.

I only rev the bike to about 3.5 - 4k and hold it on the bite point, then when the lights change just get it off the clutch and driving away as quickly as possible, i worked on the theory that they dont make much horse power but the torque is pretty good so it was better for me to have it driving away from the line using the torque than reving it silly and slipping the clutch like mad, the other side of this is that i never had to change any clutch plates in the 2 years in DD.

Hope this is of use to someone.
