Look for any aftermarket parts on the ski that didnt come with it when it came from Yamaha. Also any home made aftermarket parts on the ski that should not be on it. Im talking about jerry rigging.
Make sure all the gauges work.

Do a compression check on all 4 cylinders. Take the dip stick out and look at the oil. Make sure the safety features work including the code for the detuner. Inspect the underside of the ski for any damage. Remove the plugs and look at them for anything unusuall. If it comes with a trailer, go over that thing. Jack up one wheel at a time and spin it, wiggle it and make sure the bearings are good.

Find someone in your area that has a ski to help you if needed.
