Hi all, just had my bike ('88RT) in for a tune up due to rough idle. Valve clearances were fine, but the machanic tells me the shafts on the Throttle bodies are worn, and small amounts of air are getting in. Its running a lot better than it was now, but I'm wondering if the Throttle Bodies can be overhauled with new shafts, bearings etc?? And if can be done locally in Australia?? Has anyone had a similar experience? Would the cost of this be ridiculously expensive, or would I be better off trying a second hand set of throttle bodies first?
cheers
