As far as I know when Service Kawasaki did a dyno run with it they said the curve was almost the same as stock and they liked it.  They said they would send it to me but I have to check if they did.  I will also ask Penton if they have this spec.

Here is what I found....

Hi Alex,

 we need to do  a more accurate runs with the timing played with.
the loss on top i'm convinced was all from being just a tad retarded, ..

We just did a quickie to see if it matched the stock curve closely and it did..
I'd hate to take much more info from that particular run that..
as it was not  intended at that  moment for anything else and we dint delve into it.
we certainly wernt looking at the actual hp numbers /just the shape of the curve comparing torque /hp - rpm
verses  stock curve.

I'll try and scan you in some copies ,but as i said i wouldn't use the actual number at all,,
 i made no attempt in setting the dyno for truly accurate numbers
so even the stock ign run wouldnt mean anything others than it's "shape'
i just used it as a diagnostic machine  to see a match (or not)

if anything it showed  that its exactly the same if timing is set..
and likely if advanced would gain half a horse.(but might alter the curve some,same as advancing  a stocker)
 
I do need to get another KX500 set up like that,  and run more tests ,we simply havnt had time to get back to
the dyno,and the set we bought i put on a customers KX500AFX for some real world testing ,so far he loves it.
:)

Thanks
Alex

splatter:
did anyone ever find out if the kit fits kx250? (1996) :-)

alward25:
Do not have one set up yet for the KX 250 yet.  On my list of things to do.

man i sure wish i would have found this info two days ago!

been on the dyno two days. nothing working. everything too rich. different carbs...all sorts of stuff.

fiiiiiiiinaly started cranking up the timing. after alot of guess work and reading some german translated to english, the numbers started coming up.

i'll go measure tomorrow, but i bet i ended up right around where you suggest. every time we increased the advance, the numbers got much stronger.

before we started, it looks like mine was set about 1/2 way between tdc and what you advise here. roughly. gained over 10 so far, and tq like crazy.

i can tell y'all where the best numbers are at when we're done.
