The spark issue is usually an easy fix.

I would worry though about the title. You can run into major obstacles trying to get the bike in your name when people jump titles. I had a similar problem with my KZ, and I wouldn't go through all the mess again even if I was getting a great deal on the bike.

I've got a 78 KZ 750 itwas trashed when I got it and in a buncha pieces, after some hard work and a few bucksit's totally fun to ride. The price sounds good but the shady seller I would avoid. That's too bad.
