Default Buying a used quad, what do I check for?

Ok, this weekend I have about 9 quads to look at, each with their own qualities (4-250r's, 3-300ex's, 1-banshee, and 1-tecate250). Each one from their pics on atvtrader looks pretty good and some look obviously nicer then the others. They have a list of parts, some of which I can understand... So the questions is, what do I check for when I am at some guys house, and what is reasonable to ask, etc.

For instance, if it leaks a tad bit of oil, is that bad...
what sound to look out for if it is a 2-stroke compared to a 4-stroke (like pinging, etc.)
is it reasonable to ask for a test spin
how should the clutch feel

Help me out here..I need some veteran advice.... THX[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
