? on a 99 Nomad

I'm looking at a 99 Nomad 1500 with only a little over 1100 miles on it. I had an 07 in the past but they are 2 different bikes. The 1500 has carbs and the 1600 was FI. My question is on the 99 they had a plastic oil pump gear and in 2000 Kawasaki went to a metal gear. So am I looking at trouble with the plastic gear? Any thing specific to look for on the 99 model?
I have owned several bikes in the past but only 3 Kawasaki's, a 500 triple, a Concours 1400 and a 07 Nomad 1600, so this one is a new animal to me.
