What actually needs to be fixed? If you only need a new piston/rings, it's easy to do yourself. If any pieces got down inside you'll have to split the cases, which may be a bit much to do if you're not experienced. Any of the shops in town will do fine, but being a kawi I'd suggest Lee's on larkspur
This is a pretty good short vid of Gary McCoy sliding around. This is what I practiced doing until I highsided http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gELHaZIDJqM&feature=related
Done correctly, that is a thing of beauty to watch.
Norcal, there's a shop around the corner from Lee's but I know nothing about him really, other than he worked at redding yamaha for a while. I don't know the name of the shop or phone #, but my friend does so I'll try and get it for you later. Lee's may be spendy, but any place that will stand behind their work probably will be I say wait till you get it to worry about fixing it, and post pics here and we'll do what we can!
I know I've pulled a few off, be it by accident or on purpose, that were at least mildly entertaining to those in traffic, but I once did a beautiful power slide through the intersection on cypress getting on the freeway northbound. I couldn't help but smile big after that. I did another this summer on cold tires on my way to work, completely unexpected, but I just went with it when it kicked out and had fun. I couldn't stop laughing afterward!
Wish I had some wet weather pants, all this rain is making me wanna ride the street bike
Might want to spray the mohawk down as well.

I wear a helmet when its cold which is 8 months a year here
when you finally bump out of *kid* status, you'll be paying more like $50 a year for insurance. I think I can get mine for $53 right now.
Not to get preachy, but why not wear it all the time? A good quality helmet is the only reason I'm alive. Metal reflector posts and heads don't mix well.
Dig around on barf (bayarearidersforum.com) and see, I think there's still an outfit that knows ways of street legalizing a dirt bike, but it's hard to do too. Oregon may be the way to go for you
Please refrain from using the term "jug". It makes you look severely ignorant and as a (former) motorcycle mechanic I want to slap you. The proper term is cylinder.
You ridin' the cotton pony?
