It is elsewhere. Cylinder were not bored recent and new pistons. No cross hatch at all in bore. Having Bored .010 over existing and new pistons just to bee safe. As for contact called and left messages no return call. But with all the problems from day one with him I am done, I can't trust him so moved to new mechanic. I will sort it out on the back side. Unfortunately it is over 2 grand right now for repairs. Sure to go up after inspection.

Hey Rod, who did the work? If your reluctant to say, at least where is he located? I'd hate to give him any business.

Reluctant at this point. Too early for open discloser. Trying to get all my ducks in a row. Not sure where you are located give me an idea and I will let you know if your close.

Could you at least tell us what city (major) you are close to?

Thanks! That's WAY north of me, even though there are a few "not so good" shops around me.

I'm really thankful that I'm able to do a lot of the work on my bike.

Keep up on your maintenance and you won't have much occasion to use it.

90% Of the time I'm working on mine is because I'm changing something not because it needs it.

If I could learn to leave it alone then I would save a lot of money!!!!!!!!!!
