That's a bummer Daddue! Hope they get their act together and get you the right parts pronto!

Me too brother,me too. I just gotta have faith that they wanna do a fair deal. I should have dealt with them direct instead of going to the so called dealer. It would have been quicker and cheaper. As long as I get it going by the spring,then I'll be happy.

I called Sunny parts today and they're a couple of days behind in shipping,they didn't have any mention of any delivery to me as of this afternoon,but, they promised to let me know when it goes out.
And NO they told me again that the part has no number on it just the name which is " The Motor Mount " honestly. I know for a fact that the part has no numbers at all stamped on it.

Ahhh, the joys of repairing and maintaining a Chinese scooter!!!
And all this comes free with the purchase price!!! ;D

almost a month later and still I have not gotten the right part. But I found this parts list online, here's the address. onlineshowroom.sunnymotor.com/parts_html/mc_d300tkb/mc_d300tkb_parts_list.html#f17

Wow! Still no part? What's up with that? Have they given any reason for the delay other than they don't know what the hell they're doin'? It's funny you mention that link. I've had that link saved in my bookmarks but haven't checked it recently. I see they've updated it and are in the process of adding new models.onlineshowroom.sunnymotor.com/trike-gas-motor-scooters-300cc-3-wheels-moped-d300tkb.html#pro_photo
Still haven't updated the pics of our Roadrunner though-lol!

[daddue11]

Yeah,imagine that!! Well,I've had the run around on the phone with them now for the last month, I've even talked to someone who was supposed to be the big boss over the parts department and they appologized and said that they would promptly make sure that the problem was fixed,but, a week later, no emails no calls no part no nothing. Yesterday I called again and had to get mean with them and threaten them,then They PROMISED that I'd get the new RIGHT part by next Wednesday. Where have I heard that before??? So that's where it stands as of now.
I've even been toying with the idea of changing the Roadrunner from a trike to a 2 wheeler. I wonder how difficult that would be I know that sounds stupid,but I just have no confidence in these reverse trikes anymore. Especially Sunny products after I just paid 51/2 grand for around 800 miles of riding. sheesh.

Well Sunny makes the two wheel version www.scooterdepot.us/gas-motor-scooters-300cc-gas-moped-d300e.html but I can't find the parts explosion anywhere to see what the cost would be to replace the two front wheels with one. If their update takes as long as getting a straight answer we may never know-lol! I think she looks a bit... "tamer?" with two wheels. Hell, if ya changed her front to a single wheel and her backside to two you'd have a Compeller!!!

[daddue11]

The power of Christ Compells you, said the scootist to the scooter demons. And they listened not.

[daddue11]

That there's funny. It don't matter where you live.

[new2scootn]

;D ;D ;D LOL!!! That there is funny!! ;D ;D ;D

That new model looks easier to manage.

I'm replacing my rear tire with a small car tire tomorrow. Smallest size I could find was 135/70-13. I'm hoping the height won't be an issue. That new tire I got just 2500 miles ago is already wearing like it's out of round. I'm not going to replace tires every couple thousand miles. Thats the reason Im gonna try a car tire. Hopefully it will work and I can get at least 12,000 miles or more from the car tire.

There is a lot of stuff written on bikes and scooters with car tires. They call it darksiding. Burgmans and majestys have people riding with a car tire on them and they claim to have just as good traction and able to lean too. Even big bikes such as gold wings are using them. I think you will be well pleased. john

well the size 135/70-13 will NOT work. The tire will not fit because of the placement of the engine. I'm just going to purchase a good brand named tire 130/60-13 like michelin or bridgestone tires. I might look around and compare sizes of possibly a new wheel size. The latest tire that wore out of round was a Shinko tire. I'm not sure if the quality of the tires is what is causing them to wear out of round or what.

Justin, you need to check that wheel to see if IT is out of round. A lot of times a wheel can be out or round but still be able to be balanced but will hop at higher speeds causing just that kind of wear. Have them remove the tire and spin up the wheel to check for being out of round. Or if possible, have the new tire/wheel road force balanced if they have a road force capable machine.
