Don't know about the rest of you guys but shouldn't it be second nature to clutch before starting regardless of what gear the bike is in? it is for me, even when I see the green light on I still clutch, I don't want to find out the hard way that my bike does start in gear with out clutch, knowing me I'll end up dropping it.
Good point- always a good idea to pull the clutch lever before hitting the starter- on top of everything else, I've read about some issues with the netural light.
