Make the guy take it to a shop and have it hooked up, see what alls wrong with it and sounds like the forks might be bad in the transmission between gears or could be other things as well, trans could be ab to fall apart for all you know. Tell him if he wants to sell it then take it to a shop and have it tuned or just a regular check up let the guys check the oil, and trans fluid, and run a few tests on it and then you can see just how bad/good it is.

low oil? id check the oil, it could just be the sensor. if its low on oil, find out when it was last changed and also where/if its leaking. if it doesnt leak, then dont buy it unless you have the money to replace the motor soon b/c the rings could be shot..
