I worked in bicycle shops for almost a decade during my teens and early twenties. We'd occasionally help out a motorcyclist who couldn't find a shop that could effectively true their wheels. As mentioned, a little goes a long way. If you've never done it, do a bit of reading. It's actually not that hard if you start gradually and realize that for every twist in one place, there is an affect elsewhere. We'd learn by using only 1/8th turns on the nipples and going from there. The biggest mistake I'd see by DIYers was over turning. Usually thinking they could get away with a full half turn. Disaster would ensue.
