Need help before I pull the trigger!

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this but I'm thinking on buying an 82 kz1000j and since I'm fairly new with deciphering numbers. Can anyone tell me if the following numbers would be "numbers matching" to this bike. I realize this is short time to ask but I'm pulling the trigger tomorrow if indeed it is. So with that said I really need some help ASAP

Vin: JKAKZOJ1 3CA009176

Engine: KZTOOJE 023445

Thanks

Gus
