On the 08 450 X?

My friend just got a brand new on and he noticed that with the front end elevated and the fork slider fully extended, there's feelable play between the slider and the leg tube, like you'de expect to see with a worn bushing.
Its a brand new bike, never ridden, but you can barely feel just a little knock back and forth in the seal area. Otherwise, pumping them up and down they feel great, and we want to go riding...
Is this normal on these forks?
Thanks for any advice.

Welcome to the site!

That does not sound normal to me. I would be concerned. You may want to at least take it back to the dealer so it's documented prior to you riding it.

If it becomes a problem, you'll have it "on record" that it wasn't caused by you.
