My bud just got a 99 xc 700 with 2000 mi on it can anyone tell me some good and bad things about this sled?

my buddies 99 is a strong strong runner.. at 6000 miles with minor clutching a set of vforce reeds a set of needles in the carbs and a boost bottle..

he also threw a set of psi heads at it.. got it dialed in and runs 110 speedo MPH
with stock pipe

he just added HTG twins last weekend all we did was upped the jetting and the only difference is he says it pulls harder in the mid range, with little low end loss and the same #'s but still tweakin on clutching

he loves it.. good sled. got it hookin up and goin good..

I don't have the clutching details or needle #'s off the top of my head..
but from what I can remember the stock pipe setup was

10-62's almond round with gray/blue 2ndary spring with the r12
for trails he throw 10-64's in it for lake burns and runs 110..

sounds good, is his bad on fuel? my bud had to be towed to a gas station and my yammie had over a quater tank is this normal?

Bone stock they are bad on fuel, my 99 got 8 mpg, now with better jetting&clutching (the stock setup is terrible IMO) it is better , around 9.5 mpg.
A lot of info to find here for that sled.

Some things to look for:
starter rope - if it breaks , it can take out the water pump belt.
Water pump belt, I would change it before it decides to fail.
Check that the primer hoses are in good condition
