I've been ignoring/refusing to acknowledge a broken float bowl gasket and some rear wheel adjusters in truly shocking condition. Easy to fix, but I just can't be arsed.

What about you lot? Or are you all gods of the workshop?

A closer shim that's pretty much on the recommended limit. I've got to do belts next year so it'll get done then. Thumbs Up

Loose battery connection, and I discovered yesterday that the headlight and sidelight isn't working, not so much ignoring it as choosing to take the car to work today...

Probably find 95% of all first interval checks are still well within tolerance? (Totally guessing that)

Dials backlight, one of the 3 green backlights for the gauges has gone, don't often ride in the dark anyway, just means 40 - 60 mph and 4 - 6k rpm don't light up, making it hard to see in the dark.

Got a feeling it would be a total cunt of a job too

I've been ignoring the dirt on it. Might actually do something about it tomorrow. Then again, I might just go out on it and have a full English somewhere.

A chain that needs adjusting, lubing and an air filter that's shockingly minging.

It does need doing on cars. Except ones with hydraulically operated valves usually.

Mine are right on the limit on my TTR, the oil needs changing, I've done about 15 hours on it, the book says every ten. I ignored my front tyre for months. I had an AC10 that had worn down into a slick in the middle with strips of knobblies on the edges. I got 7,000 out of that tyre! It was, however, unusable off-road after 3,500.

I've also been ignoring the swinging arm bearings, I don't want to fight a rust spindle. I also don't want to admit that she's running lean after the exhaust change.

I really ought to replace the cracked fork spindle clamp on the Enfield if I don't want to find the front wheel making its own way home.

The silly thing is, I actually have the new one and could probably have changed it in the time It's taken to type this message.

Mañana.

The fact that they are both covered in dirt.
One needs a service and an oil filter change but I have a feeling that another thread will strip on the oil filter cover and I don't have a helicoil kit. It can wait for another few months?

I ignored the FI light on the gixer until it stopped going out when I restarted the bike. That was probably not a good idea as it led to a ruined rideout and several hours taking things apart AGAIN.

The soft break in recommendation of the manual, 300 miles on the clock and about 200 of those have been red line chasing.
