The bike won't roll very well when it's in gear. The drag from the wet clutch and transmission is very noticeable.

Get the bike rolling with the transmission in neutral, the clutch pulled in, the ignition and engine cut-off switch on.

Stand up from the seat then simultaneously drop to the seat as you press down into first and release the clutch. Dropping to the seat will give the rear tire the extra traction it needs to get the engine rolling.
