Gear changing, general riding!

Hi guys,Just purchased a xt660x and love it, passed my test 2 days ago so I'm used to a 125!
I had 2 days training on a bandit and it was so easy to ride. Basically how do I ride this bike to its potential? I've been told that if I don't use the gears fully it will burn out the clutch, it's quite jumpy as I'm used to being able to go 30mph in like 4th on my old bike.
I just want to know what's the best speed to change from first to second and second to third and so on.
I'm a massive novice and do apologise so please just constructive comments and no piss takers!
