    Tension cable adjustment thing....what is it?

    It sits just in front the carburetors...has a larger nut on the bottom, and a smaller nut on top. Pretty much dead center of bike. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    that will be your cam chain tensioner. DO NOT TOUCH unless you know what you are doing!
    1978 GS1085.

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

        On second thought that is not it, just did a little research on the cam chain tensioner and it does not look like the same thing. I'll get pic and post it soon.

          Given your description, it sounds like it's the throttle cable.

            What bike? Exactly what are these nuts screws on to?

                    Hi,

                    That's the throttle cable.



                    Throttle on the left, choke on the right.

                    For reference see:
