What to check when buying an older (10 years or so) 290 Sherco?

i'm looking to buy a bike to return to trials although not having ridden for well over 25 years, probably nearer 30 for an actual trial, last bike was an armstrong 240 twinshock, a lot has changed.

there are a couple of sherco local to me for sale, both 290, that i plan to go look at but i'm very unfamiliar with sherco as a bike manufacturer so can anyone give me any advice what to look for and look out for on an older used sherco? mainly are there any areas that they are known to have probs with or that i need to check have been maintained correctly?

    If it's an 06 check for frame cracks around the radiator, other than that they are no different to any other used bike in what to look for
