Nice looking quad?
Did you get from someone on the site?
The big updates are internal and hard to detect without opening the motor, and even then, you have almost take someone's word on the crank having the z400 bearing. Make sure the cartridge plates bolts have plenty of loctite, and making sure the sticky bucket in the head isn't a issue. Then you can update the decompression mechanism.
I would pay attention to your fuel lines to make sure they are not bad. Also where the fuel quick disconnects are can be be problems with not flowing enough fuel. My quad was not shooting fuel threw the return line the other day, (it wouldn't start). I messed with the connection at the tank and it started flowing fuel again and started right up. My point is, these quads are starting to get pretty old, so things like fuel line, maybe wheel bearing may start to need replaced due to age.
Good luck with you purchase, its a nice looking quad, that looks to be in great shape.
