By all means!
There needs to be another word for when you (more or less permanently) disable or remove one part of a system to get the rest of the system functioning again.
Everyone I ask says this is just a ‘bodge’ but for me that doesn’t feel right.
As an example, most modern motorcycles have a series of cut-outs to prevent the machine being operated say if the side stand is down and the bike is in gear. But the side-stand switch (sensor) lives at the bottom part of the bike and attracts dirt, chain-oil and other sorts of filth and will fail sooner or later. I generally remove all the cut-outs on my bikes in the interests of reliability and versatility - Because sometimes I NEED the starter motor to turn with the bike in gear.
I don’t know the right word for that sort of modification.
