I do all the work myself, so only person I could blame is me, haha!
Nope, they had swapped the engine.
But I admit I am a bit puzzled over the engine.
1. The bike itself was not supposed to have a starter. No starter button, no wiring for it, and the bike is too early for starter.
2. The engine number begins with 3TB.
3. The engine has both kick-starter and electric starter.
4. As far as I know if you replace LHS engine cover for 1993 engine you still won't be able to fit electric starter.
5. The XT600K engine has the engine cover just like mine does, so it can be not only from Ténere.
6. Why there was 1997 scraped in the engine's paint? Not a real proof, but... I know 1997 model is a bit different.
