I'm lucky that here in the Boulder/Denver, Colorado area there are a ton of KTM dealers. The 08SDR is in stock at 3 of them. I have to pick one to work on my soon-to-be machine.

Any tips on how to select a decent street dealer? Any questions that should be asked that can gauge the streetbike competence of the service dept?

What about owner forums? (Other than SD.net, of course.) Like Audi owners have with , which has active regional sub-forums. Very handy for getting local advice. We got anything like that?

One thing you could ask is if they are Orange Certified (service department).
