Car moving forward with clutch in?

Just been messing around today to get a feel for the car before my first test on Tuesday and when clutch is fully down the car still tries to set off as revs rise!
Never had this before on any of my other bike powered cars.
Engines a gsxr1000 k6 with hydraulic clutch

Not fully pulling clutch surely?

Have you got adjustable rod on the slave cylinder?

Might be worth trying to pump it up and down fast to see if it needs bleeding first, as slight air in the system will stop it working fully.

No no, you need proper bike oil for the clutch!

Someone I knew had this effect on a ford focus (there was a product recall shortly after as I remember), due to a hydraulic hose that was bulging slowly if you kept your foot on the clutch - it gradually reduced the hydraulic pressure and let the clutch out.
I guess you'd get the same effect if the clutch master cylinder was passing.
Best of luck
