My experience with KymcoPartsOnline.com (Part 1)
I ordered two fan motors and a throttle position sensor for the 2010 Kymco Yager GT 200i scooter on 01 Oct 2013. The parts are to be used to build a custom electric coolant pump and fan controller.
I've snipped unnecessary headers from the emails posted below.
Here's the initial introduction email sent from KymcoPartsOnline.com to my email address upon them receiving my order:

================================================================
Hi, Michael.
I was wondering if you had any information on when the below order
would be delivered? Has the factory given you any update on when
they'll ship the Kymco Yager GT200i cooling fan motors and the
Throttle Position Sensor I ordered? It was ordered on 01 Oct 2013. so
it's been a while.

I apologize for the delay i have ordered them from kymco but they have
not arrived to my warehouse.
i will keep you update on monday on the upcoming week.
================================================================
Note that this is promise #1 to keep me updated on 02 Dec 2013
Of course, he didn't keep me updated on 02 Dec 2013. I gave him 20 days,
then sent him another email on 22 Dec 2013:
================================================================
Hi, Michael.
Just wondering if there's any update on the parts I ordered? It's been
nearly 3 months since they were ordered. We have to arrive at some
conclusion to this.
================================================================
Receiving no reply, and starting to get frustrated with how long the
order was taking, I offered a concession that would allow him an
easier method of delivering what I'd ordered, or at least a close
facsimile of what I'd ordered.
I sent the following email on 04 Jan 2014:
================================================================
Hi, Michael.
I've been conversing with my electronics guy, the one who's building the
circuitry for me. He says it doesn't have to be Kymco Yager GT 200i
cooling fan motors and Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)... a fan is a fan,
and the circuitry will have the ability to adjust to the different
resistance ranges of the TPS on different bikes.
So if you've got 2 cooling fan motors and a TPS from another bike in stock,
or can quickly order it, you could do that. If it costs more, I'll make up
the difference, if it costs less, you can keep the overage I paid already.
Let me know what you decide to do.

wasn't hard to do, given that it was still in the quoted text of the
