BMW Throttle Grip 5.5 Ohm – R1200GSA

The BMW E-Throttle Grip 5.5 Ohm (BMW part number 61318552120) is a factory electronic throttle assembly designed for BMW Motorrad models with ride-by-wire throttle systems. It features a built-in electrical resistance value of 5.5 ohms which matches the OEM wiring and ECU calibration, ensuring precise throttle response, smooth modulation and correct integration with traction control, ride modes and electronic throttle logic. The assembly includes the twist-grip module, internal sensing elements, and the necessary electrical connector interface to plug directly into the BMW wiring harness. Because accuracy and fitment are critical for ride-by-wire systems, using the correct part avoids issues like throttle hesitation, fault codes, erratic engine behaviour, or loss of ride-mode functionality. This part is typically used as the right-hand throttle grip assembly — especially on BMW models such as the R1200GS, R1200GSA and other 1200-series bikes built around the 2013-2018 era with e-throttle systems.

Key Features:

Genuine BMW part, calibrated to 5.5 ohms to match OEM electronic throttle system.

Direct replacement for the right-hand grip (twist throttle) on compatible BMW bikes.

Designed for plug-and-play installation with matching connector, wiring path and mounting geometry.

Ensures correct integration with ride-by-wire electronics, throttle valves and engine management.

Helps avoid fault codes, poor throttle feel or mismatch between mechanical and electronic control.

Ideal when the original grip is worn, damaged, or has resistance/signal issues causing throttle faults.
