I'm in the market to buy an 2002-2005 Raptor 660. What things should I pay close attention to when I go and look at and drive these machines?

Bent handlebars (indication its been rolled)
Smooth shifting through ALL the gears
A title
Easy Starting
Thick tire tread
Strong Clutch engagement
Wheel alignment
Tweaked Frame
Working headlights
Make sure all 3 brakes engage and disengage correctly
Tight swingarm and axle bearings
Squeekless suspension

If something on that list isnt working properly then talk him down for having to fix it.

list sounds pretty good. Odds are if its blue it will also have the infamous white stress marks on the fenders more commonly on the rear ones also indicating roll over.
