So, I found the bike that I really want to get. It's an 01RC. Its in very good condition, and has about 10,000 miles. The problem is, I went to look at it last saturday and when I got there the owner couldn't get it started. It had been stored all winter with little to no gas. He had it started the day before with no problems. When he added a fresh gallon of gas the day I came to see it is when it started having issues. He took the plugs out and cleaned them. After putting them back in, we got it started with not too much trouble and it seemed to run fine. We couldn't ride it though because it was raining. He told me he would put new plugs in it and make sure it ran great before I bought it. The next day he let me know, that after putting new plugs in it did the same thing. He is going to take it to the shop today to see what is wrong with it. I did some research, and to me it sounds like the fuel pressure regulator, but we'll see.
What are some other things that I should be concerned with? The owner has been very honest, and I don't feel like he is hiding anything and wants to have the bike running good before he sells it to me. I just want to make sure everything is good before I give him the check.
