I bet that is a mistake. If it's not I may be interested. These places get the 250 & 500 kxs mixed up all the time.

I'm going with mistake. If it's not a mistake they are selling the little add on coil that goes on the stock stator plate. If you notice they don't mention anything about wattage.

The 1986 KX250 Stator and flywheel is same as 1986 KX500
The 1984-1987 Tecate 3 wheelers and 1987-88 Tecate 4 have lights and have a stator and flywheel that can be used on 1986 KX250
Therefore, the Tecate stator with lighting coil and flywheel can be purchased new for around $250 and be used on 89-04 KX500
The tecate flywheel is quite hefty.
There is thread on here were a guy was trying to do this and posted an old magazine article about the Baja 1000 KX500 from the 80's that had a Tecate stator and flywheel

The KX250 and early 86-89 KX500 flywheels look similar but they are different. Here is a couple pics of nos 86-89 KX500 flywheel on the left and nos 86 KX250 flywheel on the right. The KX500 has bigger rivets holding the hub to the flywheel, also when both flywheels have the keyway cutout at the 12 o'clock position the timing marks on the flywheels are at much different positions as the red marks show in the pic. Kawasaki also gives diff part no's between the two.
For riding in the dunes I just keep it simple and run the later 90-04 ignition with 65w aftermarket lighting coil that bolts on the factory stator plate on the K5. Everything else is either to much $$ or too much headache for my tastes.
