DO NOT BUY FROM YUMINASHI

Post by jpanem »

DO NOT BUY FROM Yuminashi!!!!

They will give you BBK kits with missing head gaskets, Parts that have not been check before leaving their shop. like giving you 2 intake rocker arms instead of 1 intake and 1 exhaust rocker arm and no tappet screws.

ordering from them and taking 3 months to receive your parts and still have missing/incorrect parts. Then email them about the missing/incorrect parts and gets one reply saying they'll ship it out that day and will send me the tracking info.... no Tracking info. Its been like 4 weeks and still no update on where my parts is.

Customer Service from Mueanfan and Reggy Bodden ... Actually there is no customer service because I haven't gotten an update about my missing parts or incorrect parts that was sent to me ever since I've emailed both of them multiple times to see if I can get shipped to with the tracking number.

Now I'm stuck with a BBK and rocker arms I can't use.

They have been like that for as long as I have been on this forum. They are either great, or they are really disorganized. Here is one of the more recent lnks concerning them.

I believe Takegawa has a 170cc big bore kit for the PCX. Some members have used those instead of the one you purchased. I had considered a bbk once, and I was looking at the Takegawa. Very good kit.

Right now about all you can do is keep bugging them. Someone will eventually answer...and will hopefully get the correct parts to you. Until then your hands are tied.

Sorry to hear your misfortune with Yuminashi / Reggy Bodden.
They seem to live a bit more relaxed life over there in Thailand, and others (including myself) had problems with them before too.

On your specific parts.
What have you ordered? The BBk is for the stock 150 head, or the 125 head?
My head gasket was mixed up (got a 125 gasket with a 150 BBK) which is not clearing the water holes. BTW my head gasket was packed between two carton paper sheets, and could not find it at first.

Also they provide two intake rocker arms, as they allow slightly higher valve opening and it is safe to use them on the exhaust for a bit more performance. It's kinda tuners secret.
As far I understand tappet screws were never part of the package, you can easily reuse your existing ones, or order a set from your preferred online store (e.g. partzilla) for peanuts.

I paid through PayPal, and buyer protection would actually help in these kind of questions. Start the reclaim process through paypal and they'll start to respond.

So I posted this on FB pages and I started the claim process in paypal and Reggy actually like flip out on me saying I'm a scammer because I wanted a full refund. Then he puts out my shipping info on my FB thread because he say I say to put stuff out there on public, so he put my shipping info out in public too.

I made the claim to get their attention and it work. So they're finally shipping me my parts and will drop my claim if everything is correct.

I had to give the company a try but I guess my experience is the same with others in the past. I thought they'd be a better company now.

Sorry to read about your parts problems. You aren't alone though. It's happened to most of us at one time or another. . .it just plain rots. :x

Reminds me of a car stereo installation I had done years ago. A Blaupunkt too!

I tried to give a new business a break instead of having the work done somewhere else (or do it myself) and they tried to screw me. Caught them in the act. :o

Instead of getting Blaupunkt speakers installed all-around they tried to put two generic speakers up under the dash where they thought I wouldn't see them and keep the good ones for themselves. The owner of the business tried to blame it on the guy who installed them. Said he made an honest mistake and just grabbed the wrong ones off the bench. I guess he didn't think I'd get down under the dash and check his work before I paid him and drove off unwittingly. He handed me the two speakers that were removed from the dash so he probably figured there would be no way I would question his integrity and workmanship. However. . .little did he know I'm a curious cat and just had to see how those new speakers looked.

He knew he did wrong. I could tell by the look on his face and avoidance of eye contact. :roll:

I had to leave the car overnight but the next day the correct speakers were installed. No internet back then. . .but I did consider filing a complaint with the BBB. Just never followed through with it but never had a good word for his business after that. ;)

His business closed down in my town not too long after (guess I wasn't the only one who felt ripped off). 8)
