Test ride- what to look for?

Good old Preston, my workplace!
Biggest problem with the thou would be the exup valve. If it's serviced and free then it'll be fine.
Switch the ignition on, and you'll hear a motor whirr for 1/2 second, and the fuel pump prime. Leave the ignition on, and watch the rev counter for about 20 seconds. If it shows a 7 thousand rpm fault code, there's a problem with the exup. If not, then it's minty!
Anything else is just your normal bike stuff, crash damage etc..... Good luck with it
