Hey!
I recently purchased a 1986 KL600 B2 as a bit of a project bike. I've come to realise its had a different engine in it at some point (or so I believe) it doesn't appear to have a starter motor?! I think i'm right in saying 1986 models were all fitted with one? There is no signs it had one before, the engine number doesn't match up to the frame is there every chance my engine is from an earlier pre electric start model?
Is there a way to retrofit a starter motor back onto this engine? I would need new cases as there isn't even the bit sticking up with a void where the starter would go.
If someone can advise or help me work out what engine i've got in this 1986 frame it would be fab. Engine number is KL600AE001411
I purchased this as a non runner last week and didn't even think to look for the starter, it was advertised as a non runner so didn't try to 'start' it when I picked it up haha! Few bits on order before I can attempt to start it with the kickstart.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Cheers
