Hi Guys

Need to replace my throttle tube on my 2011 GSX1250FA.  Rang up the local service shop - wants $31 including a grip (which I don't need as I'll be reinstalling my hotgrip).  Not after a modified throttle tube - just a replacement for the original / OEM.  Can't seem to easily find alternatives online/ebay etc... thoughts?

I'd have thought they were a pretty standard size so have a look for options for other bikes if you havent already.
$31 sounds steep but Suzuki parts have never been cheap. Good luck.

Hey thanks for the feedback and yes I checked your link to the eBay ones out... sadly though they ship from the US and it appears with the postage it brings them up to there abouts the genuine :-(

$31 with a grip ,  $31 . Think about it . The part that makes the bike go or slow down .Less than a tank of fuel . Seems cheap to me .
