The timing advance works properly.
Have you checked it with a strobe or just manually moved the fly weights?
If with a strobe then it's not that causing the issue. 
If just manually be aware that if new springs have ever been fitted then they are possibly much stronger repop springs which are too strong to allow the fly weights to advance the ignition by centrifugal force. 
Ignition should show fully advanced at 3 - 3.5k rpm. 

Z1000J2 somewhat modified!

I checked it with my timing light :)

Zed replied, I'll put those air corrector guys in there and see if that makes it happy.
