Sunl reviews and complaints

Seems a common thing to bash SUNL. But most of what I'm seeing are user induced problems! How stupid can a person possibly be to buy a SUNL for 1/10th the cost of a Honda and expect to get the exact same machine? OMG. "Stupid is as stupid does" LOL!

We bought three Chinese scooters now. And though they SURELY weren't meant for it. Off roaded the CRAP out of them (They've each been burried in mud and sand over the floor boards). Been at it for just over two years now in fact. Still haven't done a THING to take care of them other than oil changes and washes. DID put a new spark plug and fuel filter on one of them recently, and need to do the other two. But with each machine at over 3, 000 miles... Geesh! Whaa whaa, poor little me!

Would a 10X more expensive Honda have done any better? I really can't see any possible way it would. But still, why are people surprised if they draw a lemon and have to do some repairs when they buy cheap?!?! STUPID!

The first day i had my fourwheeler would break down every so often... then a few days later a screw pops of the axil. And if that wasnt bad enough i get a hole in my gas tank.. I take it to the repair shop. Get it back a week later ride it and it breaks down and wont statrt up. Had to pay for a whole new gas tank and i find out they put putty on the hole. Scamin me for the price of a gas tank. then it starts leaking gas again. I have seen bad four wheelers before but nothing as bad as SUNL. Do not buy this product. Made in a foreign country and is making triple the money for this off brand name

I bought a sunl scooter in june it was in the shop july for 2 weeks in aug for 2 weeks and sept for 2 weeks it started dec, jan, and feb i drove it 1 day in feb the engine blew it has a 1 year manufacture warrenty that sunl will not support, they said we do not talk to consumers call the shop you bought it form and they will not fix it I have a $1600.00 door stop I bought to save gas money and it has cost me three times the gas would of. I am contacting the states attorney in NJ and tx where these are sold.

please read before buying, bought hanma r6 (?) for my 7 yr old, who is 65 lbs . my son rode this roughly 15 hrs and the nut holding the piston to the shock rod (inside the shock) backed off allowing the shock to jam makimg atv unrideable, had to replace both front shocks - about 3 hrs more riding time and the atv started throwing the chain which also had to be replaced - also brake pads wore out at this point had to replace (all out of my pocket ) as local dealer in utica ny informed me that all sunl atv he sells are sold as with no warranty from him, that warranty is through sunl (which is not told to buyers untill after there is problem) which will happen soon after atv is ridden on for short time. in the last 2 1/2 months hanma cannot be ridden more than 1 to 2 hrs before something else breaks . in the last 2 1/2 mounths the main frame has broken and had to be welded 9 times now . cannot get parts or support from dealers or sunl corp . have called sunl in texas @[protected] this is us corp headquaters, after keeping log of calls (29 times )for 2 months no one can find right frame, will not return calls, this is 2007 frame and local dealer now says is a discontunied item and wants nothing more to do with it as even they cannot get parts from sunl corp . sunl corp cares nothing about the dealers or buyers problems with thier products . i bought the hanma r6 for my son as i am a single income family and could not aford us brand name atv, thought this would be ok for a child . now i have a child who sits and watches his friends (who have brand name atvs) ride and cries because his hanma is always broke down, am writing this in hopes that other children dont end up wth a peice of junk they cant ride, because sunl and thier dealers care nothing about you or your children, only the money they get from screwing people who cant afford the best of the best, we buy what we can afford and end up with lowest quality product around ( JUNK )
PLEASE USE CAUTION BUYING FROM ANYONE SELLING ANY PRODUCT FROM SUNLCORP OF HOUSTON TX . just know if you buy these products you are totally on your own - no customer support - no parts and never expect sunl to ever return your calls
PLEASE BEWARE AND DONT BUY THESE PRODUCTS.

I ordered two sets of brake pads, after a month I finally received the parts but the incorrect ones. Tried for a week to reach someone to have replaced, finally got Nathan on the line who told me to return the incorrect ones w/ the old correct ones as sample. Thankfully I only returned a picture of the correct ones becuase I haven't been able to reach Nathan for two plus weeks. Whoever answers the phone tells me he is doing inventory (for two weeks!) and that he sent the brake pads and would call with a tracking number. I don't know how he sent them from Dallas to Austin, but it sure doesn't take longer than 9 days to get here by mail or UPS. It must be coming by turtle. SUNL SUCKS! Don't think you are getting a good deal cause you're not. The dealer I bought this ATV from closed up shop a month or so later. I have only had this ATV for 1 year and can't ride it w/o brake pads. Again, SUNL SUCKS!

In april of 2006 i purchased 6 atv's from a sunl dealer thru ebay. This dealer, who i will not name, has been so very helpful. I have no complaints at all about him. He has sent me box after box of parts for free. What absolutely floors me, is how incredibly poorly these things are made. My kids are all average sized, ranging from 6 yrs old to 11 yrs old. They only ride them on the weekends in our 4. 5 acres of flat as can be grass yard. No jumps, tricks, rough riding, nothing. These things have been an endless headache for me. I seriously can't tell you how many hours and hours i have spent trying to make these things work. Here are just a few problems i have encountered: constant carb problems - float needles sticking open causing the carb to empty the entire fuel tank all over the ground / floor. Needles sticking shut causing the engine not to start. Fuel lines cracking and leaking all over the hot engine after only one month of riding. Dead batteries every weekend causing me to need to jump start them off of my battery charger just to get them going. All of them have had the chains break at least once. The frame on one of the 110's broke in half where the swingarm meets while my 60 lb daughter was riding it, luckily she was not hurt. All of them have had parts break, fall off, loosen up, etc for no reason. I got to the point where i was putting loctite on everything! I could go on and on. At this point, only one of the six i purchased is running. They are parked permanently. Now, i knew that these were not going to be as good as the hondas that i originally wanted to buy (The hondas are 5 times the $) , but i didn't think these things would be so terribly made and downright dangerous. In the end, i guess you do get what you pay for. Buyer beware!
