And id guess the same as the 43F (not tenere) just the normal XT600, which are more common.chris1576 wrote:I've checked the parts books on here so I'll answer my own question...

Remember Tenere`s are just XT600`s underneath the 80`s bling (big tank, plastics & shoulderpads)

Whoa, back up the truck.
The 1VJ is electric start and takes the long crank to accommodate the starter gear and clutch.
That said, the short cranks interchange with all pre-89 non-electric start.
Electric start cranks from 88 to 95 will interchange with all electric start 600cc motors.
You cannot add electric start to a non-electric start motor.
