Re: R11R at 71k mi

Dean,

I also had to repair my right throttle body because of shaft /bushing 
wear.  I understand that Bing will sell you the parts, or you might try 
beemerboneyard.com or cyclesrecycled.com to find a used TB.  That's what 
I did.  Be sure to inspect your air tube o-rings and your rubber 
manifolds for air leakage.
