1VJ crank shaft/rotor
 

Hi All.
Apologies in advance to owners/riders who love their XT off roaders
Can all the generator & starter ring be on a 1VJ be removed and replaced by an earlier non-electric start model generator?
Why ??. weight.
I have a road/race/hill climb bike & have a 1VJ motor fitted but have removed & blanked the starter motor functions. I have been offered a generator (rotor & windings & case) from an earlier non-elec model & would like some advise on if the crank end will accept the smaller rotor.

I need to retain the generator for road use but i'm also looking into a battery-less system. does anyone have any experience of these items & what is required.

Thanks for any advise opinions offered.
Goodpw

I think I have found the answer to my question.
NO.
The elctric start crank (3TB-11400-00-00) has a longer shaft to allow for the starter gear/clutch
The earlier crank (34K-11400-00-00) looks like it would fit the cases as it appears to use the same bearings, so that might be next on the shopping list. or a complete early motor.
I will probably just remove all the starter ring assembly for now as I don't have the starter fitted anyway. The fitting of the engine into the beam frame left no room for the starter.
