Title: Source for throttle body O-rings?
Post by: Mr Earl on March 05, 2010, 10:27:02 AM

My local dealer tells me that the O-rings for the throttle body-to-head seal are unobtainium through Ducati. The part number is 46320221A. Omaha Ducati may have it, but $20 shipping for a couple O-rings? I think not. Anyone have any leads? For a 2003 M800. Thank you.

anything resistant to gasoline will be fine. Nitrile is the most common gas-resistant rubber for o-rings. EPDM for brake fluid.
