ontariof7 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 perhaps they should not copy BRP's design,apparently they take you court for that sort of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweese Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I wonder if they will count sue for the cost to fix the recall, saying the BRP draws they stole had a defect that caused AC all these recalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 I wonder if they will count sue for the cost to fix the recall, saying the BRP draws they stole had a defect that caused AC all these recalls.

Fred Quimby Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 When you use a Chinese translator to look at the BRP drawings..make sure he has an engineering degree..not a degree of enginear-ing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 At least the engines aren't flying apart. Locktite the steering nuts and you are good to go. That is all they are going to do, but they will use red not blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
