I'd start with checking that there aren't any signs of abuse. Try and find out a bit about the history about the bike and the previous owner too if you can. How well does the bike run? Hard to start cold? Smokes? Look at the chain, sprockets, tires, cables, etc.. and decide if they need relacing. If so, factor this into your offer. What year is the bike and how much is the seller asking? As for service intervals: Valves - 800km; 10,000km; 20,000km; 30,000km... The list should be able to provide more info. Cheers and good luck, Arne> for this bike.
