to fit a kickstarter into a 98' 3TB is possible but a bit difficult.
you have to drill a 20 mm hole into the sidecover to take the kickstarter shaft and a 30 mm seat for the oil sealing.
if you don't have a milling machine and the necessary skill you should leave this work to a machinery workshop.
next problem is that it is not possible to mount the automatic decompression unit. somehow you have to mount a manual type (like on old ktm's) on the handle bar.
and then the primary ratio is 71/34 (old kick-start xt's: 74/31) which makes kick-starting a bit more difficult.
