Yamaha Moto4 350 - Any common faults to look out for?

Going to have a look at one tonight. Are there any common faults that I should look out for?

Lower frame rust if its been a fishing hack. Tip it on its side if possible and have a good look for extra holes. Motors are really good in these but are bloody old now and spares getting hard to find.

Thanks. I thought rust could be the major issue depending on where it's been used. Seller has said it's starter dead and its pull start only. I'll ask seller tonight why however assuming replacement starter either too pricy or simply not available anymore.

I'll look carefully. Will tap the frame and listen for dull thunks. Its $600 so not a massive risk if shit happens.

160km drive wasted unfortunately. Frame was in great condition as it'd been used on lifestyle block then occassional use at a bach but it wouldn't start :-(

Looks like can get a lot of YFM350 copy bits via aliexpress.
Seller is getting a friendly mechanic to check it over.
