Check compression should be no less than 165 I believe.
Check hull
Look inside and see if theres alot of mildew. Alot of mildew means that he didnt clean and dry it out after each ride.
Check all joints and arms for marine grease.

Im not an expert but thats what I would check.

Stock FXHO turns a shade over 10,000 RPM
Extra service requirements at the 200 hour mark are;
Valves....check & adjust clearance
Engine mounts...check
Rubber coupling....check
Air filter.....check.

Don't even think about changing the rings.....this is a 20 valve motor...not a two stroke, requiring a major engine strip down to replace the rings......not for the faint hearted!
