Curing the rattling throttle bodies

[KTM-AL]

Pete on the Boxertrix.com site posted these informative instructions on curing the throttle body rattle, fixed for a few quid too. His was a 2004 1100S which appears to be the same as the 1150GS going by the part numbers

Just did mine with the Dan Cata kits much quieter and easier to balance the throttle bodies.

Al,
Let us all know the part / serial number for the split bearings used for the left and right TB’s.
If this would help cure the rattling as opposed to using the Dan Cata kit, all the better.

I would prefer to have these bearing available with me before disassembling. .

The Dan Cata kit includes the split bearings.

How noisy is the rattling, how many miles have the bikes done?

Hi Mr Rugged Path
The part numbers from Bearing Boys .com are in the linked post. you will need 1 x MB080BX and 3 x MB0812BX

Correction - "bushes"

The spindle could be worn too but that's probably an extreme case. No wear was obvious on mine.

Al, the ref. for 1x MB080BX is missing one digit!
The other was found easily.
