Removing a bogie isn't a bad idea. Removing a tag is a bad idea for all the reasons mentioned. I've chained my tags btw before...and the bus couldn't hardly drive straight. Never did that again.

I'm guessing it feels like a pickup with too much of a load?

FWiW, when the 102 A2 came out, the regional transit guys didn't like 'em, they stopped long, compared to the 102 A3.

Brake wear was also higher.

The tags on the older stuff may be small weight numbers, but they are there, leaning on the road and contributing both stability and braking.

The new stuff, the tag is rated just as heavy as the steers.

Happy coaching!
