Nothing really, make sure the oil is clear or dark yellow at best in the little timing side window, if its very dark and blackish it probably hasnt had the oil change at frequent intervals, could mean its been neglected? avoid bikes with the original silencers removed unless its a suitable EFI Hitchcock replacement, the original silencers are cats and cost over £600!! so if its been changed get the original with it from the owner, as these new engines are fuel injected and have a cat/lambda sensor and ECU controling the mixture they can be difficult to start without the original silencer fitted or a suitable EFI replacement and can also suffer backfires which can cause engine problems.
hope this is helpfull
