Default looking at a used ds650 in the morning need advice

what can i look for as far as the engine to see if it is ok? good rings etc? the spark plugs? the color of the oil? any help would greatly be appreciated, i read somewhere make sure when you turn the key on that the red light is on and it goes off after it is started is this true? i looked at it once and it was 70 degrees outside and he didnt use the choke and it would not idle till it got warm is this normal? thanks fellas i really appreciate it,

Mine will not idle with choke off until it starts warming up. Just check the basics, oil, water or coolant, and signs of abuse or roll over.

bent handlebars, look for stress marks on the frame, cracks on the frame, feel the headlight and see if it is busted under the plastic, make sure it goes straight when you ride it

Thanks, I have been doing a lot of detective work, since the cops are not, but since I am not a cop, it make it harder for me.
