Hmmmm ... shows how we're all different. I never start the bike after sitting on it. Always start before because when I sit it am ready to take off. Starting the bike up first - usually just before putting on the helmet and then gloves - allows instrumentation boot up and engine warm-up to happen before I ride off.
Thats what I do. It doesn't run for more then a couple minutes while I'm putting on my helmet and gloves. I took out the bike today after adjusting the shifter a bit higher and had no lurching while taking the bike off the side stand
I also discovered the higher shifter position to be much more comfortable, especially during downshifts. Unfortunately 
the weather here is taking a wintery turn so rides are going to be very rare if not impossible until spring..........
