just been thru this thread, i own an 08 te450, only shit its given me is with the crap speedo, which they have fixed with a neat little item for new models, ala ktm, i too had fork seal troubles and agree the forks needed revalving, i had mine set up by a guy at batemans bay, dunno shop name,, sorry , never looked back since, went one tooth smaller on front, now 13/47, lowered forks a tad, put bigger tank on it from http://www.motosportz.com coz was only getting 80kms before downhill stalls due to fuel pump being at rear of tank, if i had my time again i’d go for the 310, or a god forbid, ktm, having ridden a 450ktm, seating is much lower, ergo’s are better, motor not as revvy, but you could live with that.
then again superunit on his drz400 keeps upto and passed me and that lounge chair of a seat is a godsend after 8hrs in the saddle…
