The 04's are known for blowing the decompression plug, and some have charging issues. Upgrade the battery and run with the headlights on high, and replace the plug with an aftermarket unit and you'll be good to go.

how much is a after market plug

In my opinion, unless its extremely good condition, that price is a bit high for the 04 YFZ. Like any first year models there are some problems.

I think in the end, if you save up for a used 06, you'll be much happier. You're not that far away, i think you could find a good deal on a used 06 for 4200.

Just my opinion, on a YFZ you don't want anything under 06.
