2009 GS - Right hand throttle body ticking

[Pacific]

I’ve noticed that the right hand throttle body on my 41k mile GS has developed a ticking noise.

Doing a quick search it seems tapping from the right throttle body is common on these bikes after about 40K miles due to wear in the butterfly shaft bushing. ??

Does anyone know of a repair service? Can the bushings be replaced?

Many thanks

I'd check Motorworks / Motobins etc. There are certainly repair kits available for oilheads.

Unlike the R1150 and previous models, it seems there is no repair kit for the R1200 throttle bodies.

I’ve checked with Motorworks, BMW and a respected indepentent.

So the only option is replacement.
