    I have a 2011 TE449 in great condition and I can get most parts very easily.
    • Bearings and seals - no problem
    • Plastics - UFO or Polisport
    • Engine parts, pistons and gaskets - no problem
    The only consumable parts that are unique to this model (449/511) that might pose a problem in the future that I can think of that can't be easily fabricated are the:
    • Swingarm chain slider
    • Lower Chain Guide
    • Clutch plates
    Some parts could be made with scanning and making 3D print copies. It would be a shame to have to part out a bike for the sake of a $20 chain slider being unavailable.

    Q1. Are these parts still being made by KTM/Husqvarna?
    Q2. Is there a way to find out the global inventory levels of these parts?

    My local Husky dealer says they have no visibility to stock levels or when parts will be no longer available.

    I'm tempted to buy a few of the parts and keep them on the shelf however don't want to hoard parts that someone else might need.

    Motor maybe, chassis not so sure. But even if accurate, not sure it helps. Wasn't the BMW discontinued first?

    The motor internals are the same although I believe the clutch plates are different.

    The swingarm is different as well.
