Whaddya mean? It's still available OEM. It's called "STARTER CABLE" and it's on the handlebar fiche.

There may not be an aftermarket cable, but you can get one from Suzuki for about $12 - $15.

You may be looking at the wrong model. I've found some of the parts fiche information gets strange when you begin to divide the models up in a given year. On bike Bandit it doesn't show a GS850GL with the cable going to the handlebar, even though the handlebar switch assembly has the thumb lever for it. It shows the cable that goes up through the triple T mount like the GS850G models.

On ProSourceMotorSports.com they show the cable as part number 58300-45301 (Replaces 58410-45301) for the '83 GS850GLD and part number 58410-49X00 (Replaces 58410-45300) for the '83 GS850GLX model. Both cables look exactly the same in the picture, and neither looks like the one on a GS850G.

I know the mount you want, and the way they attach to the carbs is very different. You might have to order both just to make sure...they are less than $8 each. Good luck.
 
actually that is the cable Im looking for...have no idea why it would be called a starter cable...its a choke, not a starter. THATS why I couldnt find it. thanks for the help guys...will order asap.

Well...

Technically, it's not a "choke". A choke partially blocks off the airflow through the carb in order to create a richer mixture.

On a 1980+ GS, the cable activates an "enrichener" circuit that allows the carb slides to get yanked up further, which creates a richer mixture.

Same effect, but they are different. Here in the US, we just call anything that creates a richer mixture a "choke". Others might call it an enrichener cable.

With Suzuki parts, you're also dealing with iffy translations from Japanese, so the concept of "starter" cable, as in "thingy that helps you start the bike" seems to be what came across.
