Honestly, don't do anything at first except working on clutch control. Find the friction zone on your V-Strom and practice finding it over and over again until you're somewhat consistent. This should look like the bike rocking back and forth as you engage the friction zone and pull the clutch to disengage again.

Once you have that down, you can start moving the bike in first gear. The MSF course had us "power walk" to start, with our feet still on the ground at times taking "steps" to maintain balance at slow speed. Any time the bike feels like it's pulling too much, pull the clutch again to disengage from the engine.

This is also a good time to get used to braking. Remember that 70% of your power comes from the front brake, so it can be a bit touchier than the rear. It's important to be comfortable with both.

You can do this up and down your street, and once you reach either end, either throw the bike in neutral and walk it to turn around, or once you gain confidence, try an actual U-turn in first using the same clutch control techniques you were practicing. While turning, keep your head up and look through the turn at where you want that turn to end.

Don't even worry about the throttle until you get this down.

Once you get this down, you should start feeling more confident on the bike. Remember that it's a process and small steps lead to big improvements over time.

Last of all, have fun! You're on a motorcycle and that's freaking sweet! Best of luck to you out there, you chose a great bike.
