From the Haynes manual:

"The starter clutch components and starter idler gear were modified in late 1995.
This modification was introduced on production models from engine no. 23707 (four cylinder grey-painted engines and all three cylinder engines) or engine no. 23681(four cylinder black-painted engines) and the new components can be identified by the 15 tooth starter idler gear and 51 tooth starter clutch gear.
On earlier engines, the modified parts for the starter clutch and idler gear are available in the form of an assembly rather than individual parts; refer to a Triumph dealer for details and ensure that you purchase the 13 tooth idler gear and 53 tooth starter clutch gear set".

So going on that info, your bike should be the upgraded version. I don't understand why triumph didn't leave the access hatch though. Cost saving maybe?

Cheers,

Roden
