Need advice on USED ohlins rear shock. What to look for?

[unrulypostman]

I'm looking at picking up a used Ohlins KA 502 rear shock for my 06 636. The guy says its set up for a 160lb rider(w/o gear) which is perfect for me.

Details from the add itself:
* Fits Kawasaki ZX 6 R (2005 - 2006)
* Part Number: KA 502
* Type: 46PRXLS
* Stroke: 64.5
* Spring: 01093-34/100 L197
* Includes mounting bracket.
* The part numbers on the shock itself is '122623 KA5021'

When I asked him some more info here's what he said:
*Why are you selling? - bought it on impulse a week ago, now I need money.
*Who did you buy it from? - Track racer. He used it for a couple months.
*Do you know the last time it was serviced? - No

He's asking $600 and is FIRM. Is it worth it? What else should I ask? If I go to look at it, what should I look for? Any help is much appreciated. -Chris

Is it worth $600.00 You bet it is, Problem with some Ohlins is they come as a generic setup and if whoever bought it didn't have the internals setup for the proper weight and riding style then you might need that redone. I know this was awhile back but thought I would answer this post regardless.

EDIT: Oh look for nicks in the shock shaft and any leaking around any seals.

Yep I would offer the seller $500 plus shipping that is what I see most used Ohlins go for you are going to want to get it serviced and see what the valving is set up for inside.
