3TB With only kick-starter ?

I've seen a XT600E 3TB (XT600 A) with ONLY the kick-starter ...very strange ...the motor mantains the support on the left for the starter motor ; Someone know if it will be possible to fit the starter ? also handlebar commands are Kick-version ..

Another question : I'me a little scared of the right rearframe/muffler/frame ..that use the muffler as a stressed part : how it will behave in offroad when loaded ?

hi giorgio,
there's nothing strange about it! it is possible to mount a kickstarter in every xt600-model until today. i have done this even with a '98 model (which has the clutch lever on the right side and where there is no boring for the kick-starter axle).

also handlebar commands are Kick-version ..
sorry, what are handlebar commands? (lack of english)
Another question : I'me a little scared of the right rearframe/muffler/frame ..that use the muffler as a
stressed part : how it will behave in offroad when loaded ?
sorry, no experience with that!
regards

I was surprised because the bike seems to be "factory-original" and AFAIK XT600 E 3TB were made only with electric starter..this one instead has the 3TB motor without the electric starter motor (but with the part to fix it..) and the commands are the same of 2KF (no starter button ecc..)

However I am looking for a (another) 2KF ....
