Who's got second gear sitdowns on lock?
I can't seem to balance these out. Any tips? Im clutching them up at around 35mph in second. Once it's up i roll off the throttle and roll back on but I can't get to balance out. I can hold em up on throttle for a bit but i can't float em. I've gotten to the point where it feels like im gonna slide off the bike and still no balance point. They're pissing me off!

are you geared? sounds like your not.
Just do what your doing but hold the gas. Always cover your rear brake, and try having the rear brake stop your wheelie instead of you letting off the throttle. It'll take a little while to get used too, but once you do, you'll get used to where that balance point is.
practice!! practice!! practice!! practice!! :YEAH :YEAH

Yeah, stock gearing. Tap the brake as im on the throttle up there huh. Got to get used to how much brake to apply. I'll try it out. I need to adjust my brake down a bit too. I've tried but the lowest it goes is just lower than the peg.

yup, just get used to the brake, don't ride it TOO much though, or you'll go through pads like crazy, especially when you're doing highway brake-riding
