    Hi everyone, newcomer to the board but longtime xj650 owner.
    I am working on my 1980 xj650 maxim canadian model bike, getting her back on the road.
    Waiting on parts, so I am checking electrical since it was in storage awhile.
    Question: what is the cable shown in the picture and where does the other end go?
    Thanks

    I think that the other end goes to back of engine on a crankcase bolt

    Thanks for the reply.
    The other end of the cable was attached to the rearward starter bolt.
    I am in the process of reviewing the electrical on the bike. I will move it back to its original spot
