What is this part?

Hey everyone. I recently upgraded from an '86 Aspencade to a '94 Aspencade.

I've already stripped the bike down three times to add enhancements, videos to come soon, but I keep coming across something I am clueless about.

I added an image below.

Thoughts?

That knob adjusts the engine idle speed.

Owners manual should be on your list.

and service manual. Honda if you can find one, otherwise Clymer or Haynes

Specifically it is designed so you can adjust the idle speed when traveling and you have a big change in elevation.
Usually you will never have to touch it, but some do (ie travel from sea level to 6,000 foot elevation).

Thank you everyone.

I do own the owners manual and I also own the Clymer manual. I just could not seem to find what that knob and consequently what is was.

That said, I also cannot seem to turn it. Should I give it more pressure to turn. I didn't want to break anything so I really didn't put a lot of force in my turn.

I really want to play with this to see if this is a fix to the current issue I am having or something new that I need to diagnose.

Thank you in advance.

Some have complained about the idle control seizing up. It's just a flex shaft to a threaded adjuster at the carb linkage. You might have to open things up to shoot some lube on the threads to get things moving again.

when you are trying to adjust the knob, turn the throttle and hold while adjusting the knob. Doing this takes pressure of the lever

This part adjusts the heat vents of your lower cowl on a 2006 to 2010 Goldwing.

Bank angle sensor, is my guess

It's the Knuter Valve adjustment.

And all this time I thought it was for the kanutzen valve that adjusted the traveling train!

Seriously, the above replies are correct, it is the idle speed adjustment.

Did we somehow get two threads mixed here?

The knurled knob should rotate clockwise and counter-clockwise. Believe there is a How-To article on how to free this up if stuck.
