DON'T BUY A SUNL NO MATTER HOW CHEAP OR HOW WELL YOU LIKE THEM , IT'S NOT A QUAILTY ISSURE BUT LACK OF PARTS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THE SUNL GROUP. THERE IS NONE. ONCE THE ATV IS BROKEN YOU MIGHT AS WELL THROW IT IN THE TRASH, NO REPLACEMENT PARTS PERIOD.

Bill I have a few sunL quads and I have needed parts. Parts were here within a few days. They dont have problems getting parts for the smaller quads just the bigger ones from like 150 and up. The mini's are easy to get parts for.

2manytoys, shouldnt you be able to get 150 parts from just about everyone else who makes one?

Yes. Alot of Kazuma, komodo and tomoto parts are the same so parts would not be hard to find but Sunl seems to have a problem with getting parts out to people.

Bill.....

By your sig I see you own 2 Kazumas (and 2 SNLs)......My cousin bought a Kazuma 3 years ago and told me the same thing "Stay away from them! Cant get parts!".

In fact, I think that in the last couple weeks of my research I have been told to NOT buy every single brand because if this.

2manytoys....

Where do you get your parts?

I seem to have a couple dealers near me (one of which that I am going to see tomorrow)...the another guy about 4 hours from me...and then Raceway in NY who has a great reputation and sells the "mini" which is whatI am looking at.....all these folks say they can get parts easily for me (of course they would say that I guess).

I realize that if they go out of business I am screwed...but then again, if the the 2 or 3 local Honda dealers go belly up I wont be able to buy parts locally for my Honda motorcycle either and will have to find a place to get them...I cant just call Honda and order parts I have to go thru a dealer..I dont see a lot of difference from THAT aspect....

RAceway CAN get parts for everything they have. All of my quads are from Raceway with the exception of the Honda and I have NEVER had a problem getting parts foe any of them. He usually has them to me within 2 days so not much down time. Not that I have had problems with the quads but small stuff like plastics, wheels, lights, etc... You can find Kazuma parts anywhere on the net. They are everywhere and most all the Chinese parts are interchangeable. Raceway has been around for a long long time and they are not in the business to rip people off. I have been dealing with them for about 2 yrs now and I have bought a few dozen quads not just for me but friends, co workers, neighbors and family. If I did not believe in RAceway I would not recommend them to my own family let alone let my kids ride thier quads. I too was very skeptical when I bough my first quad from John ar Raceway and after alot of research I took the plunge. John ( Raceway) has never let me down. Raceway has their **** together. If they cant find parts for a quad he will either replace it or use parts from another quad just to make the customer happy. Even if it is at his own expense. I have been here a long time and I think people and even Raceway values my opinion. I would never steer anyone wrong. If a certain quad was bad I would say it is bad.

Thanks 2manytoys....

I know this is a "raceway" forum......but....

...I am going to see a SUNL 110 tomorrow locally....the guy wants $600 for his.....he also says he ha spartsa and has sold many.....he has a 60 day warranty which I guess is OK but not great....

I really am torn at this point....so many people say\you cant get these wet, cant rely on them etc......

Maybe I will feel better after seeing one.....

Depending on how the localguuy hits me I may end up back at Raceway.....

I assume raceway would sell me parts even if Ididint buy the SUNL there?

60 day warranty. Thats crap. Raceway is 6 month warranty. If you want to go that way then yes Raceway does not have a problem selling parts. But lets say after your 60 day warranty is out and a cdi or carb fails. Now you have to buy parts. At least 6 month warranty it will be nice and broken in and all the bugs if any are all worked out. You wont be out a penny for the first 6 months. Its the street venders and small shops that give these a bad name. How long has he been there? Can you look at his inventory of parts? Is this a garage or an actual atv shop? Many people make the mistake of trying to get the cheapest deal in town but then get screwed after the sale. If you think your local dealer is honest and has a good rep then go 4 it.

I intend to find the answers to all those questions today....yes, I thought about asking to see the spare parts as well...of course, he could show me any stack of parts and I wouldnt know if they are the right ones but I will ask.....

I agree that 60days is nothing.....Raceway's 60 day warranty is engine only....the rest of the bike is 120 days....still much better than 60 days.....Raceway doesnt list the 110cc mini.....only the 90cc.....I am going to see the 110.....Raceway wants $685 for the 90cc....this guy wants $600 for the 110.......
