Howdy all,

I bought a gs850 in november 2020 knowing the previous owner made some changes to it. I am currently going over my carbs and the choke cable to the handlebar seems to be missing, replaced by a ring to pull it straight out. Does anyone know where i can get the cable or a kit for it?
 
Welcome to theGSR.
i know where Cuyahoga falls is only because I lived in Euclid for a couple years.

where is this “ring” you mentioned?
might be kinda hard for us to determine if all of cable is reusable or not.

would be good to know what year. Prior to 82 to operate the choke ( called choke but is really an enricher) was a knob to pull up on the padded console at center of handle bars. 82 and after was a thumb lever on bottom of the left hand grip controls. Could talk about mid 70s and prior but wasn’t any 850 then.

So tell us what year, and look and see if something appears to be missing from center thing of handlebars or the left set of controls.
 
Opps, we are not suppose to give any technical advice until see pic of bike.
yep, need to know if you have the maroon one or black or brown.
(Joking)
 
I?d assume there is a ring attached to the end of the choke rod to be be pulled out to work the enricher (choke). Ask me how I know:D.... actually mine is a string.
