FZ6 is my first bike too. Have logged 12,500 miles in a season and half.
One thing for sure the clutch release range is pretty narrow. Once you get used to it you won't even think about it. But at first I stalled it plenty of times in the street in front of my house.
Simple advice is to keep the revs low and this bike will perform in a very compliant, predictable way. But as you cross over 8k on the tach it becomes a very different bike... that's where the fun begins for some but as a beginner you want build low speed skills, cornering, braking and other things you just learned at MSF. And no worries here, you will find comfort in the upstairs rpm zone in due time..
