Well got the scooter back today....Mechanic showed me the cams had big groves wore into it with pitting---Oil pump was the same way, as wel as the lifters....How could this go unoticed while being serviced after telling them I thought I had problems...Well it is not making the squealing noise anymore

Last week compression release blew out rear head--replaced rear head and release
Last week compensator sprocket/compensator bearing/clutch basket/bearings---replaced all of these as well
This week cams/oil pump/lifters---replaced all of these as well

This bike is factory stock except the race tuner--D&D 2n1 Header/ghost pipe and the zipper breather

They also told it was not necessary to Dyno it again after doing this work-but it does not appear to run strong anymore--it just feels week now

If nothing changed before and after the tune shouldn't need to be altered either.  Pipes, air cleaner, cams and everything else all the same after the work as before?

If so and if it really is weak now you have to at least consider they made a mistake installing the oil pump.  Get a seal wrong there and it can sump.  That would account for a lack of performance.

Now that's got to raise his confidence level!
