Picking up an '03 Predator 500 Tomorrow

Hi guys, i'm new to the site and it looks pretty good. I have a Yamaha Raptor 350 and i'm picking up a Polaris Predator 500 tomorrow. I had a few questions. It has 93 hrs on it, thats pretty low right? It has the Polaris Pure exhaust, is that aftermarket? Is it good? Oil has been changed once a month. Has Fox Trail suspension front an rear. Small ticking noise, are they noisy quads or is it time for a valve adjustment? Also, many people are saying there are tranny problems in the 03. What am I looking out for? Another question, are these 5 or 6 speed, I forgot to ask the seller. Thanks

Everyone is telling me about the 03 being a real problem maker. The first owner raced it, i'm hoping he maintained it.
