Default What to look out for?

I just got a 2006 raptor w about 20 hours on it,so the dealer says, and was wondering if I need to look out for anything on it.Such as cracked frames,problematic engines,recalls etc?I've have had many wheelers and a Banshee years ago but this is my 1st yamaha 4 stroke.

The 700's are pretty solid machines. Some of the early models of the 06 did have an issue with vapor locking though and had to do with the fuel pump but was fixed pretty quickly. Others have had issues with breaking the rear subframe as well by hitting the grab bar hard in a wheelie or an wreck. Those are about the only two things I can really think of. I have had my 08 for over three years and have never had an issue with it.
