the balance point on any bike is usually way higher than people think. most guys are about a foot low when they think they hit it (unless you're acustomed to doing slow stuff and 12's).
you'll get used to the floating feeling and get used to where it's at all in time man.

you just have to stay back so the bike stays back, if you are forward when you clutch it up it is going to be alot harder to stay in the balance point because you will pick up to much speed

when you give it power let the clutch out at the same time, stay back, try to use just enough power to get up to the BP. listen to your bike instead of looking at the gauges

the balance point is right between where the bike feels like it's falling forward or backwards...
the height depends mostly on body position(sitting, standing, leaning forward/backward, foot position)...

a lot of that and also how fast you are going.....70mph the BP is lower than when you are at 5 mph.
