Listen for the timing control tensioner tick.really loud ticking when u start it up or at idle. Also Do a pull in third gear from 30 mph if you feel any vibration in the seats it's the rear axles. Do a compression check if possible to. Make sure no check engine lights. Last things is our s2s are awesome and they need little maintaince but when they do some off the parts are expensive. I just recently got my clutched changed on my ap1 so ask when the clutch was changed. Peace and good luck
