power delivery is definitely smoother than yz (although ignition, flywheel, pipe, pv cover, etc. can change these drastically..) it won't be on the rear wheel unless you want it to be. stock they are very trials like in power delivery.

check:
linkage/swingarm bearings
missing bolts - especially in lower triple trees....they are m7 on wp front, so they sometimes get replaced with wrong fasteners.... i have a source for these - much cheaper than $7.00 each oem..
subframe for cracks/breaks
if it idles smoothly and on it's own when it's warm.
check for clutch drag and smooth clutch engagement when warm.
find out why motor was rebuilt in 08? top end or top and bottom?
should start very easily hot or cold.
check fluids for milkiness...
keep in mind, plastics are expensive on this bike - and if you want to keep it yellow, the only option is oem as far as i know.

yep, plus possibly a phillips screwdriver for tank shrouds...
