5K is in reason; although, 6K-10K is better. Did you check the primary resistance? This is actually check-able on points coils. It should be around 0.6 ~ 1.10 ohms. I just wish Kawasaki actually publish these resistances in the SM for FA210 but they didn't so I referring to the FE120 coil resistances.

The primary side wire has the condenser soldered between the points and coil.
I didn't check it as I didn't know if it would effect the ohm reading.

Usually condenser(capacitor) has a low reading until charged but should still allow the reading of the primary resistance as the coil side will have lower resistance than the capacitor.
