    So were we able to confirm that the 09' TE610's were exactly like the 08' TE610? If not what are the differences?

    I think the black rims are different.
    Also, the muffler "may" be like the other TE's, where you remove the catalytic to make it a performance muffler.
    Not sure about the adjustable forks issue like last year. Likely with the 2010 models they will see a change.

    Here's a link and there is another one in there that further discusses the differences but I don't see much other than what I've mentioned.

    I saw an 09 last week at a Loveland, CO dealer and it was visually indistinguishable from my 08. Probably doesn't answer your question exactly

    We haven't actually received any 09 SM610 or TE610s yet to 100% confirm this but from the tech and press info we've received from the factory there are no differences from 08 to 09.
