engine runs smooth with NO smoking, Check every gear engages. No play in headstock and rear shock. aswell as not bent forks and so on

you could take it to any extreme but they are some basics

So you have had loads of pit bikes, your brother is trusting you because you have had loads of pit bikes but you haven't actually got any idea of what to look for as you don't even know the basics??? Are you actually serious mate?

Make sure the engine is cold before its started too. You don't want the seller warming it up before you get there so it's starts and runs better.

That's the mistake I made when I got mine

Same rule for any car or motorcycle. If the seller has warmed it up before you get there then something is dodgy.
