I ordered husqvarva parts and got maid in china****************************************!!

[Planepower]

They will exchange it for me so i ordered a camelbak classic.

I'll bet that Camelback is made in China.
So is my MacBook pro, and my iPhone 4S, as well as my Sony LED tv. My Carrharts are assembled in Mexico from cotton spun in China lol
The set of 4 new Goodyear Eagle GTs I bought for my WRX were made in Chile. Manufacturers go where labor is cheapest.

Made in China doesn't mean what it did 30 years ago. Things change. You can't assume that just because something is made in China that it's garbage or if it's made in America that it's good.

I was looking for a maid in China once. Funny how words all sound the same and mean differently. However, A coffee cup or hydration pack that was made in China for Husqvarna are ok. It's hard parts from China that will kill the industry. Lifan, counterfeit Fag/Bosch, Kymco, etc. etc. etc.

Manufacturers go where labor is cheapest.

And where regualtions don't make it impossible to make anything.

After WWII and into the 60s Japanese goods were held in much the same regard as Chinese goods are now.

I got over the maid in china. I sent it back because of the functionality of it.

BMW is making some of its engines in Taiwan, meaning BMW wouldn't stake it's rep on crap.

The defective fuel pump that came with my 09 450 was made in China.

I'll bet the replacement you've had no problem with was made in China, too.

I bet the bearings go out in that coffee cup within a year.

The lead paint will corrode them for sure...

Yes the new fuel pump works great, I just hope it will last longer than the original. Buying a new $600. pump every year and a half would be a deal breaker.

I received a camelbak and it was made in the Philippines that was weird to me

If you buy a new Husky 650, your Kymco motor will have been made in Taiwan, just like it's BMW counterpart has been for years...

No it won't. Because it never was.

The 650 thumper engine was never made in Taiwan. Those motors were made in Loncin, China for only two years. The engine has been around for 15 years. They are now made in Germany, although some parts may be made in China (unconfirmed).

The engine that was made in Taiwan was the G450X engine (i.e.: TE449).

The engine that was made in Taiwan was the G450X engine (i.e.: TE449).

And is a great and very solid motor.

Like democracy ... `tis no good whingeing. You (or someone) voted for them, and someone (a large number of them) obviously buys Chinese goods. Same happened with German, and then Japanese produce (until they became too expensive).

BMW 650GS motors used to be assembled in China by Loncin Motor(not Taiwan, that was off the top of my head)
Now the BMW 650's are assembled by BMW in Berlin, Germany.

The new Husky 650's were rumored to be back at the Loncin plant.

Either way, it's a heavy brick of a motor, which contributes to the extra 50 or so pounds on the Husky 650's over the 630...
