skipro: Kwitchur backin' up!
The two items can be independently true. As you say, what was true 'then' isn't necessarily so 'now'.
I just wanted to make the point that honing is not necessarily a bad thing.

Aw c'mon. They just made a 'mistake' is all. Isn't that what started this whole debacle? Can't we all get along?? :(
Bah humbug!!!
This certainly is no time to be nice, friendly, understanding or even-tempered. Anyone with a paramecium for a brain knows that you MUST machine the head with an overbore. You got screwed SO bad, they certainly are in line for a major reaming!
And I wouldn't let them be 'fixing' it either! They would be buying me a brand new engine FROM kawasaki (and I'd put it in myself) or they would be looking at a lawsuit.
What are you going to do....haul your bike back there so they can work some more of their 'magic' for 'ya? Well, guess you already did that.
And who's 'dave'? Did he do the work in the first place?
You're screwed to start with considering you got a sleeve that doesn't fit the engine. How are they going to 'fix' that? Put in some old beater kdx engine they have laying in the back 'parts' yard?
'Dave' needs to be firing someone. He needs to be doing some MAJOR groveling and making-good.
He'd be best off delivering a brand new '04 kdx of your choice to your door!!
What's the name of this place? I want to call 'em up!!
