I've had luck greasing my PDS bearing, KTM says not to grease it because it is Teflon coated. Seems to last more than a season now. I would love to have a 350 HVA or KTM as I love my 400, just a little less weight, with a little juice when you need it. Did HVA remove the grease fittings on the linkage for the later model bikes? If so I would miss them, although I guess you could drill & install them custom. As far as KTM's PDS design, you get used to it after a while. It does react a little differently, but after Factory Connection got finished with my suspension & the tubliss system in my wheels my 2007 XC-W 400 handles the tight woods like a champ & turns much easier. Last thing, I'm glad that KTM & Husky are such great competitors & innovators in the market, bodes well for all of us as enthusiast & customers. I'm sure Husky will keep stride & develop the great alternative.
