My CR500 needed a cylinder bore, minor head clean up and a new piston. I called Varner Motorsports on March 31st at 3:00pm. Told him what I needed, he said "no problem, send it to me and I'll knock it out". I shipped it 20 minutes later from Nor-Cal, BIG MISTAKE...
What should take a week turn around time ended up 2 months later. I started calling Terry 3 weeks later trying to find out what was going on with my parts. I actually got a hold of Terry at week 4 and he said he was boring my cylinder in a few minutes, because my new piston just arrived.
I called and texted at week 5 and simply asked to send my stuff back to me regardless if he was done or not, I just need my stuff back. Those text messages and calls continued for another 3 more weeks, not knowing if I was ever going to receive my parts back. I finally called the Hesperia PD to report my parts as stolen. I told the PD that I was making the drive to Hesperia tomorrow morning (7hours one way) and to my amazement, Terry texted me a picture of a tracking number from the USPS and that following week my parts showed up. My cylinder was never even bored out.
I heard he used to be the go to guy in So-Cal, but I don't think he's the same guy now. What a terrible experience and such a sketchy guy to deal with. read more
