Well, I had my boys Zinger at a shop for about a month getting new OEM replacement Dunlops for it. He just rode it for the first time today, and It appears that the axle is now bent! I know for a fact it was not bent before, because I was very conscious about NOT riding it and if I did, I never even went over any bumps with it. Im betting that the shop monkeys blasted around on it for "fun" and abused the pizz out of my property while they had it. What should I do??

Are you sure the axle is bent? I ask because you said you put new OEM tires on it which in some cases are notorious for developing flat spots on them when the bike sits for a while. When riding with flat spots it'll definitley feel like the axle is bent but the ride will smooth out after ridng a while.

If the axle is actually bent, I'd go back to the shop asap and talk to the manager or owner. Good luck.

reminds me of the guy on 3WW that had a monkey from the local shop run his Z into a pole 20 miles from the shop
