Looking to purchase, what to look for?

First post here guys, I'm looking forward to getting a KDX ASAP. I'm new to 2 strokes, I was always an XR guy but now I'm looking for easier maintenance for an older bike in my price range. What key things should I look out for in a Kdx200 to be sure I'm getting a good bike and not a lemon? I know check oil, air filter, chain/sprockets. What else? Should I stay away from bikes with more mods or bikes that have been raced. Thanks for any help you can provide.

just remember that for the 220s and 200Hs that condition is more important than age. The bike didn't change any its entire run. The usual suspects...weeping fork seals/boots, dry wheel bearings, squeaking/rough suspension action, etc.

Good luck!
