I had a go on one at light water valley. I had to pedal backwards to go forwards.
Are my handlebars on the wrong way around?

Is you bike going in the right direction ? check your number plate for dead flies in case you have been going in reverse
Some stabilizer bars would sort the issue

I had something similar on my bike but have removed the handlebars and fitted a car steering wheel. I find it works a lot better, especially when reversing around corners. Hope this helps.

The best solution is to stand, as it lowers your CoG, thereby countering the tendency of the handlebars attempting to steer in the opposite direction as being turned.
Also, on the GS, there is a setting on the Canbus Flux Capacitor which causes this if a motorcycle ridden in the Southern Hemisphere is set to NHSM or "Norther Hemisphere Steering Mode"* A brief visit to your dealer and £583,45 later will have this setting to SHSM (just check in which hemisphere you are riding before changing the setting of course - and easy way to do this is to see in which direction the bathwater "spiral" turns when emptying after your bath).
Good luck, and get this sorted ASAP as it can be life threatening.

Serious note when Prodrive began work on the Naro leaning car, people could drive it with handlebars fitted. When it had a steering wheel, nobody could drive it though nothing else had changed.
It needed massive computing power to make feel like a car to the driver but lean as a bike does. It's still a work in progress no doubt hampered by the academic input.

Awesome thread! ROTFL!
I've checked and rechecked my modes and I don't have "NHSM" installed on my 2013 LC. Have I got the wrong type of Flux in my capacitor? I've checked the flux level and it's halfway up the flux window. Now I'm really worried cos I can't tell whether my flux is half full or half empty!!
I even went to Maplins to buy some more flux but I burst into tears when he put the tin of flux on the counter.
My life is in ruins.

Hi Thanks to all of you for your very very useful and often highly technical replies...I've checked and rechecked my modes and I don't have "NHSM" installed on my 2013 LC. Have I got the wrong type of Flux in my capacitor? I've checked the flux level and it's halfway up the flux window. Now I'm really worried cos I can't tell whether my flux is half full or half empty!!

I have been informed by her indoors that if I start Fluxing around with my bike anywhere near the garage it may well have serious implications for my health, and scare the cat.
However, trawling the Bay of E hoping to find something to resolve this pressing and challenging problem, I have come across a unique device apparently known as a "Coriolis Compensator" Manufactured by an small team of Indian entrepreneurs just out side Mumbai, (Bombay in old money) the long established firm of Heath and Robinson have come up with an highly ingenious (and patented if I am to believe their marketing) system of of pulleys and levers, wires and a "Gyroscopic Gizmo" that attach to a second set of handlebars (BMW Approved naturally) solidly affixed by and to the screws of the fuel tank cap and pivoting on this mounting.
This highly ingenious ( and yes, highly costly device) not only cures my problem but more amazingly, is able to easily compensate for the Northern Equatorial Effect (or NHSM setting) as noted above. The closer to the Equator one rides, the less the effect is compensated for until, and this is the absolute genius of it, (and probably why it is so costly) you cross the Equator and then the Coriolis Compensator somehow reverses and starts to cancel out the SHSM setting or Southern Equatorial Effect, which comes into play automatically if you have the latest BMW Sat Navs installed.
I believe the word 'Awesome' may have been especially conjured up to describe this device!
So, worry not anxious fellow adventurers: "We can go where ever the handle bars shall point...."
I have ordered one, cash up front of course and now await delivery......
Once thing though....where am I going to put my tank bag? ...... NO. Don't tell me.
