Please Help Urgent

[Tundra-Warrior]

Can you lovely guys out there please help !!!.
Ive owned my lovely GS1150ADV for about 2 months now and have a slight problem with the handling.
It all started x-mas eve on the "shite way " round to the cafe @ quatt when the beast wouldnt turn.
My mate Dave said to check the tyre pressures, what i said !! it had air in when i purchased the bike.
I tried to find the air hole but to no avail....
so far i have taken out some of the spokes but now the bike wobbles.......
please please help........

You could always try asking Mutters, as he is our resident muckhanic.

The ability to turn the wheel is hindered by the gyroscopic forces on the mass of the wheel. Reduce the mass and the wheel will turn easier.
Do not try removing a few spokes because this will unbalance the wheel. For best results remove all of the spokes.

oh stop whingeing, theres nothing wrong with a little wobble you wuss.
blue tac the spokes back on and ride the bloody thing.

You need to reduce the sprung gyroscopic mass. You were on the right lines with removing the spokes but that is only small fry. I'd drop off at least one of the brake discs and calipers, if not both - you can always rely on the rear brake

1150s always wobble,as do most of their owners when they climb off.

Boss-bating, a fine old country pastime

Bosses who think they're smart
Fine sport ahead methinks

Boss-bating is compulsory in our organisation

That gets my vote

solution No1

I always find a bike is easier to turn once the front wheel is returned to the ground,

Hmm, I think he would be better off removing the disks, then he can get rid of the calipers and other crap at the same time.
