Jeff,
Thanks for the advice. I think the same way about 1st year anything but both the Husaberg 450 and 570 have been out in Europe for about 1 1/2 years now and I haven't heard of any problems and I've been searching for them. These engines actually use almost all KTM parts that have already been in bikes for awhile. The only issue I have heard of so far is a noisy cam chain tensioner which has been a problem on the KTM 530's for awhile and KTM has still not addressed on the '09s. DirtTrack makes a replacement for them that solves the noise issue at idle. Thanks again for the reply - it is so good to know people are reading the forums and helping each other out.
Tom
