Swapping kick motor into XT600E frame

[TheRadBaron]

Hello. This is my first post here. I'd been posting on advrider on the XT600 thread and I was referred here for more technical information.
I recently pickup up a '92 XT600 with a badly locked motor from sitting outside with no plug. I might be getting a kick motor from an '89 XT600 that I'd like to swap in. I understand that when swapping the electric start motor into the earlier frames, the countershaft sprocket on the motor is too far outboard. So I take it that when an earlier engine is put into a later frame, the countershaft sprocket will be too far inboard.
Does anyone have any idea what it will take to correct this? I'm not very familair with these particular engines yet.
