Clutch? Power up? It mostly all depends but I'd say 30ish or so in 2nd gear.

Re: help

First gear is nice because it's easier to get up and you have engine braking to possibly make up for the lack of rear brake control. But at the same time it's touchy as hell and a new person clutching up first gear at 15 kinda sounds like a recipe for a needing a new tail and subframe haha. I guess I shouldv'e just not mentioned the speed cause it all depends on my opinion on where the persons skill level is at and their style. Some people can start off good with standing...some with sitdowns.

Vertical_chaos - The best advice I could give you is to find some guys who are really good in your area and ask them for advice. Considering they can actually watch you and see what your doing wrong/right.
