As far as shifting goes, let the clutch out slowly to avoid the jerkiness. If you just let it go shifting with seem clunky. Bear in mind the MSF bikes have been abused and they shift badly because of it. I already had my own bike when I took it so I realized it was the bike I was on during the class and not my shifting. My MSF bike had a heck of a time shifting into 2nd gear.
Use your rear brake to slow in turns like they taught you in MSF.
A 250r will be a good bike to learn on. Just relax and you will be fine. It will shift easily.
