    Given the money I'd likely get, it's just not worth it...

    You could always try for a refund. At this time, thats about the best way to hurt them. Take the PCIII and O2 elims back, get your money back, and they are out all the labor they lost on the bike too. That way you are back to square one and you can go find the place of your choosing to get your parts from and a tune.

    Get the PCIII and O2 elims elsewhere, install them yourself, and set up an appointment somewhere specifically for a dyno tune. Tell them you want before and after printouts of the dyno including mixture levels to confirm the proper tune and explain your bad experience with your local Honda shop. Someone else will take care of you, you just have to find that place.

    I know it sucks, but I would get a refund. Let them eat the labor, and tell them they have to return the parts or you will file a claim with the EPA about the emissions changes they are making.

    Don't go back....not worth the effort..time is money. Install the 02 sensors yourself and download a canned map from the DJ website. It will be adequate. When you come across someone more capable of doing the tuning correctly...get it mapped.

    I would have forgotten that they even existed after the December experience. It's your own fault for even going back.
