2) Check the compression.
3) Check the rubber intakes between carbs and cylinders. There may me cracks.
4) Ask him to have ride.Try shifting the gear, see how the bike goes. If the bike twitches, that's a problem.
If you experience collapses in acceleration, that's also a problem.
5) Check the electrics: lights, alarm (when all the light are flashing).
6) See if the speedometer and tahometer work properly.
7) You can also take the spark plugs out and see their condition.
8) See the front work - there might be oil leakage.
9) When the engine is warm, spit on the down pipes - from 1-st to 4-th. If saliva stays there, then touch the downpipe - it might be cold.If it's cold, then cylinder doesn't work.
10) That's all, I guess...
That's an M.O.T. :lol
