chances are it wont wear too much since im engaging fully before the plates get real hot. cant smell the clutch.  but i dont recommend doing this on the z cause the rpm can rev up fairly quickly. |

I did double clutch on the Z for one day and by the end of the day the pedal was very mushy - I think I boiled the fluid.

Maybe "clutch kick" is the word I was looking for. 
Anywho, I've been known to do it occasionally... only in the higher gears and only below 4-5k though. I'm sure it wears a bit, but people launch by dumping the clutch at 7k and to me that's gotta be 1000x worse. 
I do it on my bike sometimes too, but I'm super careful about that. No wheelies or rear tire drifts so far.
