Nope. The 5th gear issue affects all Ténérés, even the '89 and '90 models with the extra oil tube specifically added to deal with this annoying issue and a different primary transmission ratio. How do I know? Because I have one of those ('89 model 3AJ with the extra oil tube) and after roughly 65,000 kms my fifth gear sounds like Pavarotti meets Megadeth meets truck tires in a tunnel on a wet tarmac road. On meth.
That said I think it only affects Ténérés, not the regular XT600 models. They either have a different gearbox or a different transmission ratio.
