Yeah, you're gonna kill your clutch by doing #1.
As far as #2 is concerned, that is one of the things about 250's that I've said here a hundred times. You've got to learn how to match engine speed or else you'll find yourself in some hairy situations. On bigger bikes you can get away with it sometimes (all the current SS's from Kawi have a slipper clutch and matching speed on anything else is easier since you don't have to rev as high), but on a 250 that's a skill that most newbs do not have.
Be careful, dude. Practicing matching revs will make that bike much more rewarding and fun to ride.
