Other cleaning is just really tedious....getting bugs and crap off the front of the engine after a long trip really sucks. Scraping gaskets sucks too.
Pretty much everything else is duck soup....although I have yet to do the valve clearance checking/shimming on my 650 yet !!!:ohmy: :S
Well, we'll soon see if I've learned anything about that process, what with my fooling around with my "practice" motor.:laugh:

Fixing stupid shit that the P.O. did because they were a drunk idiot and had no business having access to tools...i.e. drilling out and tapping threads for the points cover where some jack ball had used a wood screw when they misplaced the correct screw, rewiring an entire harness because some D-bag used a crimp over tap connector to splice into the main power wire and taped it up solid inside the loom. These are my two "favorite" instances...
have to agree with that one, fixing stuff the PO did wrong. like on my B3 I am rebuilding, SOME A HOLE put a rear brake caliper and Rotor from a different model that had a different offset and did NOT fit. but ran it anyway. took me a while to figure that one out and get the right ones for it.

Ok, maybe it's chasing down a short...
most definatly ONE of those.
Had to come back and edit after it hit me that changing tires is the toughest thing (for me) physically and electrical shorts are the toughest thing (for me)mentally.
