Ok first when you look at the bike be sure to look at the motor and the over all bike as you can tell if it has been thrashed or if it has been looked after, Check the fork seals to see if they are working, Make sure that their is no major oil leaks around the top end of the head part, If you can see if you can take the seat off to see the air filter If it is dirty it could be because the owner does not really look after it or that the motor has sucked in a lot of dirt dust, Remember to listen for any non-natural sounds like clacking of the motor( particuly the top end) And be sure that when you ride the bike remember to take it up through its gear (all of them just to see how it rides) If the kick starter slips on the inside cog when starting it ( It is no reall bad thing Cuz it only happens about 3 times out of ten kicks (depends on how bad the kicker is worn?

Remember to check the rear mono shock , by pushing down on it ,if the bike springs back up fast it means that it is blown so make sure that it feells like there is a dampener holding the spring back so that when you hit a jump/hump it wont fling you off the bike.
Thats all I can really help with you mate .
