As mentioned, keep practicing. Get into an empty lot and practice repeated starts. It'll come.

Don't worry about hurting the bike; you won't.

And don't worry when you do stall on the street; keep calm, re-start the bike and carry on (Chive pun there).

I went to take off from a stop last week and didn't realize I'd left it in 2nd. I stalled. I've been riding since 1988. It happens.

Practice your emergency braking while you're at it

Practice!

Sometimes I practice at longer red lights. Tiny bit of brake, just to keep the brake light on. Let out the clutch real sloooooow until the bike starts moving. Clutch in, push back, repeat.

Then when the light turns to green, you'll already have a feel for where the friction zone is.
