How many miles does your KTM/ Husqvarna/GasGas LC4 engine have? How many miles can this motor do before major issues?

I have a 2023 Husqvarna 701 enduro. Incredible bike on and off road. I am quite meticulous with primary maintenance - oil and filter changes every 5000 max km. Also make sure fully warm before ramping up revs (as I do for any ICE). valve checks on time etc. Mine now has 14000 km and no engine issues, some minor unrealted things but nothing preventing me riding or leaving me stranded. KTM/Husqvarna reliability has a bad reputation. Wondering if it is still justified? Who has a high mileage LC4? What problems have you had? How long until major issues? I love the bike and want to keep it a long time but have some anxiety about long term reliability so always questioning whether I should get something Japanese...

Husqvarna 701 enduro 2023 Squeak when rear suspension compressed

My rear suspension squeaks when compressed. Today I took apart the rear suspension linkages, greased everything, and put it back today but the same squeak is still there. I cant seem to locate it. Sounds like its coming from the bottom of the rear shock. added a bit of ptfe lube to the shock arm at the bottom where the foam boot is but that didnt help. Also sounds like its coming from the rear if I put my ear there but think the sound might just be travelling. its driving me crazy! can anyone help?

Went to see the IX3 NK at the dealer. Can say its looks much better in person, especially polarised grey and the sliver colours. Drives incredible too. Interior is definitely sub par in quality compared to older BMWs, just looks it although its functional and works. I actually liked the weird steering wheel in person, the thumb rests feel good. Pictures definitely dont do it justice.
