First off... Chris, from what I understand importers cannot get these scooters into California or Florida. As far as purchasing one, I would say go for it! Aside from the few problems I've had, I do love my scooter and got a killer deal on it! I would however drive it for at least 100 miles to find any "kinks" that might need working on. All in all even if you do have some problems they should be minor and like Kevin said they don't stand tall next to their scooters so you would probably have just as hard of a time getting it serviced here, any motorcycle shop should be able to get you taken care of as far as mechanical stuff goes. I finally had time to get my scooter checked out for the fuel problem I was having. They took a couple of weeks to get it done, but I must say they did a good job and it seems they even "tightened" up a few things here and there. They gave me a little greif on my warranty at first but I ended up walking away free of charge so thanks for that LSPS. My scooter now has a little over 1500 miles on it and it seems to be running like a champ, I'm hittin' 60mph all over the place and getting 65mpg. FUN FUN FUN. Hope this helps. Hi, it’s me again.

With my situation and others that I've heard of, they aren't known to stand by their products. I have a hard time believing you can't get a similar deal from a local scooter store in California. Up here in Utah there are dozens of places to buy these scooters. I would recommend looking in your area simply because you'll know who your getting in from, you don't have to worry about shipping problems and you can get to know the scooter more before you buy it. If you have any other questions please let me know.

Also, it is true that all four of us did the oil change at the same time but forgetting to finish the oil change that we started is a little hard to do. I assure you we put oil in his scooter the same way everyone else did. The motor didn't go bad from Chads negligence, the motor went bad because there was something wrong with it in the first place. The best thing Less Stress could have done in this situation was hook Chad up with a deal on a new motor/installation and you did just that and he appreciates it.

I was the salesman that sold you and your friends your bikes and to try to avoid sounding patial I have a little more info for the blown engine of the first black sicly. The millage was around 400 when the engine went, and less stress DID NOT do the initial oil change as discribed by the Chad who told us that the group had done all of their own oil changes at the same time and it was not long after that, that the motor stoped working and the conclusion that Chad had come to is that, as I remember it, he must not have put oil back in the bike after draining it or. No problem. But I don't think you would get very far with any brand of bike dealer with warranting a motor that destroyed by negligence. That being said it sucks that it happend. As far as covering warranty I havn't known Rory to ever undercover someones bike with the warranty they sign up for, if anything, he has gone as far to cover far more than the standard with throwing in labor as well as additional parts including wear items that are not covered by warrenty. That being said we appriciate the review's it helps us see what we need to work on. After all we arn't perfect however we do and will continue to stive to become so.

The motorcycle (5 speed - cruiser type) has had some problems, most notably electrical/lighting, the bottom engine mounting bold sheared off at about 1400 miles, and the bottom front disk brake bolt came out at about 900 miles. Last week I paid over $100 in labor for bulb replacement, tachometer replacement, a replacement of the left side plastic cover and the replacement of the sheared off engine mounting bolt. The electrical system and lighting, except turn signals, are having problems with dimming until pressing on the brakes or turning on the signals (they flash bright when the signals turn on ). The motorcycle is currently (9/1/08) at Less Stress in American Fork for repair of this issue. So far, service and professionalism have been good, other than almost everyone at Less Stress except Rory stating that "all of the SL200-4 have the same problem." (Is this a CPSC recall? Has Less Stress contacted SUNL?) Rory's overly diplomatic tone regarding the repair of this safety issue and his suggestion that I take the motorcycle somewhere else for repairs was very disconcerting, especially since my warranty is with Less Stress and they're the source for parts. Hopefully this is resolved soon since I will use this motorcycle for primary good weather transportation. Additionally, a stripped shifter linkage and non-lubed clutch cable (brought to their attention when I took possession of it), and spontaneous loosening of turn signal bolts has occurred since I purchased this machine. Overall, I have enjoyed this motorcycle, but I would not recommend it due to reliability and current safety issues. I purchased the 12 months parts, 1/2 off labor warranty expecting no issues since this was a new motorcycle and I had planned on having minimal maintenance for at least a year. I spent about $2200 OTD with warranty, helmet and a cover. I purchased a SUNL SL200-4 on July 10, 2008 from Less Stress.

The plural for that work is probably actually "es" on the end and not "'s." So I guess if you are going to cuss, you should cuss correctly. :) tisk.. tisk..
