Throttle Bracket for BMW vehicles (2010/2011)

thingiverse

The throttle on the first-generation BMW S1000RR (2010/2011) is notoriously stiff to turn due to a stubborn spring on its throttle bodies. To address this, a clever bracket has been designed to counteract the spring's resistance by unwinding it by approximately 120 degrees, thereby reducing the force required to twist the throttle. This innovative bracket is specifically crafted to be installed over the existing bracket that holds the throttle cable in place. For optimal results, it's recommended to apply blue threadlock to the two screws and avoid over-tightening them, as this can lead to complications. In this area of the engine, temperatures should remain below 150 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent overheating. The airbox, which sits atop the throttle bodies, is made from plastic and features a constant airflow that keeps the throttle bodies cool. When it comes to printing this bracket, ABS is not the ideal material choice. Instead, Colorfabb HT is recommended due to its impressive Glass Temperature of over 100 degrees Celsius, outperforming ABS but falling short of PolyCarbonate's capabilities. The higher heat resistance of a material like Colorfabb HT ensures that the bracket remains functional even in high-temperature environments, while avoiding the rigidity of PolyCarbonate, which can cause it to break under the stress of tightened screws.
