What is this star wheel for?
Underneath the left-side hand controls, there's a star wheel. The service manual refers to it as a "Tension Adjuster Screw". Beyond its name and a warning not to set it too tight, the manual makes no other refference to it nor how it should be adjusted. When I first saw the thing, I thought it might be some sort of cheapo mechanical cruise control, but now I don't think so. Any ideas what this thing's purpose is?

turn in IN,, and it will put pressure on your throttle tube, thus giving you a dangerous cruise control death twist!!!
turn it out,, alls normal.
its like a set screw on your throttle,,,,,
do us a favor,, dont use it,, I had one,, didnt care for it,,,,,,, had a sticky situation develop when unexpected,,, the thing held my throttle open at the wrong time,,,, thank god for good reflexes!!!

Yea, what Electarick said.Please leave it out. With engine off make sure you can twist your throttle and its snaps back to idle position on its own.
Years ago down at Jersey shore, it was a Big Joke to open throttle and turn star wheel tight. When rider started his bike it went straight to full throttle.
Do us a Big favor take it out. its not needed.
