Throttle Potentiometer Guard Installation
Video of the installation procedure for Touratech throttle potentiometer guards.
The throttle potentiometer is a key part of the fuel injection system and is exposed on the stock BMW R1200 motor. Your riding boot or other objects can snap this fragile electrical component leaving you stranded.
Precision crafted from laser-cut 3mm aluminum, Touratech has built a lightweight and strong guard that protects this delicate component of your fuel injection system ensuring that your trip continues as planned.
Available in either black or silver anodized finishes, the Touratech throttle potentiometer guard compliments the capable personality of the bike.
The guard comes with everything you need to get it installed. Installation takes only a few minutes. Watch the installation video above for more details.
The R1200 right side throttle potentiometer is well protected so only one cover (LEFT) is required.
Fits BMW R1200R, R1200RT and R1200GS and R1200GS Adventure motorcycles.
- Fits all model year R1200 motorcycles
- ONE cover for left side ONLY
- Easy installation
- 3 solid mounting points
- Silver or Black anodized finish
- Made at Touratech factory in Germany
I can tell by the many boot marks on my Touratech potentiometer guard that this thing actually is doing it's job. Couldn't imagine the beating that plastic piece would take without it. Definitely a part you'd want to buy right away with a new R1200GS.

This guard is the easiest thing I have installed on my GS. Love the black anodized finish. Ready for some off-road riding now.

A must-have IMO. Five minute install and cheap protection to prevent show-stopping damage to the TPS.

I agree with the earlier reviewer. I saw a Globeriders newsletter where they talked about trying to solder the plug back onto a TPS sensor somwhere in South America. The bike will be dead in the water without the TPS sensor, this part saves it - that makes it a must have.

This part is easy to install and I agree that it is a must-have. Goes on quickly and I used a dab of blue thread-locker for good measure.
