Personally I kick it into neutral and lane split to the front. From there I can keep an eye on all the lights and shift into first when I need to. On my beamer the clutch is crazy stiff so this has become a necessity.
Best of luck!

Hmmm, yes I have noticed a huge difference not death gripping the handlebars. Still to chicken to split lanes and I only sit in neutral when nobody is behind me or coming up behind me, ( Calif. basically never).
Thank you.......
