Hey guys, first time poster here. I am going to go look at a 1998 VMax with 7000 original miles on it tomorrow morning and just wanted to know if there are any problem areas that I should be looking for on a 1998 or VMax in general.
I've read about the 2nd gear problem and to make sure I fully check out the suspension and the fork seals. Do you guys have anything else in mind that I should be paying attention to while looking at it? It's a decent price if everything checks out, but you can only look and test so much. I wish there was a good way to test to see if the carbs are cleaned, but I'm not a mechanic at all. (Which is why my Dad is going with me.) The link to the listing is below:

Any help would be strongly appreciated! Thanks!
