Title: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: hydra on May 09, 2008, 06:38:07 PM hey guys,
i just bought my first ducati....an S4 Fogarty. i am really, really loving this bike. i thought it might be cool to start a thread specifically about the Foggy's and i wonder just how many will turn up on this forum. i'm curious if anyone's done any cosmetic and/or performance mods? i like everything about this bike but right away i know i want to change the mirrors and the seat. i don't know about anyone else but the red on the tank is not the same red that's on the seat. i like the 2 tone look but the shades are different but i guess that's from 6 years of fading. and it's not the most comfortable on +200mi trips. so it seems that the Foggy model is the only monster that came standard with clip ons. i tried to put the CRG bar end mirrors on they don't have an adapter to fit them onto the bar ends...bummer. anyone have a solution or know of another company? as far as performance: i think the engine is amazing and the top end is awesome. i could use a bit more low end but i'm not going to lose sleep over it. right now i'll probably keep the engine stock but i'm open to suggestions. i don't know anything about ducati's so if anyone wants to school me, go right ahead. oh yeah, i'm going to get the chop kit next week. i think it will really look better. please post a pic of your bike (if you care to) especially if you've done some mods. and tell us where you live and what number your bike is and anything else you want to say. this can sort of be an owner's list. ;D EDIT: i'm living in Los Angeles area at the moment and i just moved from NYC a couple months ago. i have #252 with just about 18k mi and she's all stock...at the moment.

i didn't like the seat either, the color or the comfort. went with a ducati performance gel seat which looks good and is much more comfortable. good luck with the bike!

Actually, that's probably about right. Only 300 made, minus however many have been wrecked or parted out divided by 1154 members (and growing ;D). Should be a fairly low percentage, which makes us special ;D Title: Re: The unofficial S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: Sgt_H on May 10, 2008, 02:22:39 PM For the Ducati noob, what is the story with Foggy Monsters?

It was 300 total world wide, and production was by special order until the 300 were gone. I've got a link somewhere to the original Ducati website giving all the information about S4 Foggy, I'll see if I can dig it up. I'll post some pictures today too, as soon as I'm back from riding ;D, first nice weekend we've had in the Bay Area in a while.

Motorcycling in Europe and the UK in particular is absolutely huge and when someone like Foggy retires, tears well in the eyes of all but the most cold-hearted biker. Foggy won four World Superbike Championships during his career, plus three Isle of Man races. He is Ducati's Michael Schumacher, only he look meaner... In 2000 his career was ended after he ditched his bike during a race - he retired. Ducati has decided to give the racing champion a farewell worthy of his long career with Ducati and his amazing skill as a rider - enter the S4 Fogarty. (http://www.koups.com/sales/ducati/images/2002/foggy/M,Foggy_poser.jpg) (http://www.koups.com/sales/ducati/images/2002/foggy/pg_ms4foggy_18.jpg) The new Ducati S4 Fogarty looks a little like the new Monster series, with a few cosmetic tweeks, a new coat of paint and it appears as though someone has been tooling around the engine, too. Ducati took the new S4 Monster and started with the looks. The new bike has seen a few new additions, such as the new-look tank, front and rear mudguards, the rear seat cover and footrest plates, a new non-slip twin-colour saddle and nose fairing. The exhaust pipes have also been raised to increase ground clearance but they also give the rear-end a more sporting look, too. There's plenty of carbon fibre on this Duke and the result is a pleasing 197kg dry weight - not bad for a big 916cc V-twin. Peak power is 110bhp @ 9750 rpm with all the race extras, like airbox, carbon fibre oval pipes and a new injection control unit. Also, a new component specifically designed for the S4 has been included in the form of two air scoops. These ensure perfectly balanced airflow to the radiator. The engine is a twin-cylinder, 4-valve desmodromic, liquid cooled block. Mated to a six-speed transmission, the S4 Fogarty has a maximum torque reading of 92Nm @ 7000rpm, which is more than enough poke to loft the front wheel without even thinking about it. As per most Ducati's, the frame is of the tubular steel trellis variety. (http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring/news_reports/images/mducf4.jpg) The front forks are Showa upside-down 43mm fully-adjustable jobbies, while at the rear a Sachs progressive linkage monoshock, also fully adjustable, will help keep the bumps to a minimum. A steering damper will also help with speed wobbles and tank slappers. The brake setup consists of twin 320mm discs up front, with 4-piston calipers. The single rear disc a is 245mm effort, with 2-piston calipers. Fuel capacity is a rather lame 16.5 litres, but if you can afford one of these babies, you would expect a support truck not far off... The new limited edition S4 Fogarty is a very funky piece of kit. So funky, in fact, that only 300 of them will be built this year. Each one has a numbered plaque on the tank plus unique Foggy stickers. The combination of sheer V-twin power, the superlative brakes, impressive suspension and naked visage all combine to provide a very tasty package. Ducati has previously employed it's online method of sales to the Cafe Racer Duke (aka MH900e), and all of them were snapped up very quickly. As such, the only way to get one of these amazing feats of Italian engineering is to hop on to the Ducati website and lay down $850 just to reserve one. Then, if you succed in getting one of the 300 on offer, prepare to plonk down a cool $30,000 (€18,000). The new Ducati S4 Fogary is very sexy, very fast and very exclusive. Get one if you can!

-It has most of the same mods as a Foggy, except for the paint-job.....Same exhaust, same CF parts (except mine are paint-matched red)....I love the Foggy's paint job, moreso, I would argue, than even the Tricolore.... [thumbsup] -I'm trying to think if there's anything, besides the paint, that the Foggy comes with that my '01 doesn't have....CF clutch cover I guess...

that looks greeeat dude! that's a whole lot of stuff you did. it gives me inspiration to start modding my Foggy. in the pics it looks like you kept those air scoops. do you know just how functional those are? can you give me a little background on the ST4S engine? please send more pics...oh and where are you located? Title: Re: The unofficial S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: MonsterMan1036 on May 12, 2008, 11:03:24 AM that looks greeeat dude! that's a whole lot of stuff you did. it gives me inspiration to start modding my Foggy. i the pics it looks like you kept those air scoops. do you know just how functional those are? can you give me a little background on the ST4S engine? please send more pics...oh and where are you located? Thanks!! I'm located in Dayton, Ohio. The air scoops are supposed to help cool the rear cylinder, do they work (?), I think they help some at higher speeds. Having the pipes ceramic coated made a huge difference in keeping it cool. The motor is out of a 2003 ST4S (996cc), it has the following: 1036 BCM big bore kit V2 stage II 748R intake and exhaust cams 38mm intake and 32mm exhaust valves machined and balanced crank/flywheel Pistal high compression pistons 13:4:1 Carillo rods complete head porting with manifolds/throttle bodies complete blueprint of lower end and tranny The ST4S is a direct fitment and will give a lot more power stock than the 916 motor. I'll post up some new pics after this weekend.

Yes it is and can be a pregnant dog to start when cold, that's why I have an ODYSSEY Dry cell Battery waiting to be installed with heavy duty cables. After it's warmed up it starts up just fine. It is a true monster and likes to pull the front wheel up. Bruce Myers at BCM did all the motor work. The Moto Corse swing arm has only been on a couple of weeks and I haven't got much ride time on it yet (weather has been shitty hear). So far it feels nice and stiff, the bike feels more planted coming out of the corners hard. I can give you a better report on it after this weekend, we are supposed to have some good weather. In terms of value, I don't think I would of paid full retail for it. I paid less than a hunk of junk someone made me from TOB, who still hasn't refunded my money. Also, the swing arm weighs a little over 15lbs with all the hard wear and the stock one weighs in around 14lbs. The bike is ridden on the street hard and will see a couple of track days this year along with the DB4.

please update us on the moto corse swingarm and please post some recent shots...thanks Title: Re: The unofficial S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: Monstermash on May 13, 2008, 09:07:53 PM Well guys I have to admit, I'm very jealous.
The Foggy is my favorite Monster by far. I almost bought one right before I bought my first Monster in '05 but it had a tail chop and I am not a fan of that mod. Then last year I found one with 4K miles in my local area. The owner claimed it was in excellent condition but when I went to see it the frame was all scratched up form where he chained it to a pole in his parking lot. ??? As if that wasn't bad enough, all the aluminum was all oxodised from being left outside. WTF? Who does that to a freakin' Foggy? Anyway, someday I'll find a nice clean example and pick it up and give it the care it deserves. <translation> Park it in my livingroom. ;D Sorry for the threadjack.

you've made me feel good to know that you're jealous ;D yes, i am really loving this bike...in fact it's all i think about during most of my free time or riding it. i picked it up a week ago and i've clocked over 1k miles already...

my bike is currently at Pro Italia getting it's 18k servicing (part of the deal i managed to squeeze out of them). only thing i'm installing at the moment is a 39t sprocket for the rear and that's really all i can afford at the moment. the PO has informed me that there is a yoyodyne slipper clutch he installed awhile back but it's currently locked in...he also told me i might want to adjust the cam timing a touch. looking forward to the pics and thanks for helping this thread with your inspiring Foggy...

The bike now is of coarse tits!! [thumbsup]
Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: Magnus on May 17, 2008, 06:45:34 AM Thanks guys!
MonsterMan1036, good question... the first I saw the bike, it looked just like that pic, so I assume the bike was wrecked at least partially because of the misguided SSS conversion. The chain was all over the swingarm and the upper shock pivot was a disaster. Basically it looked like a couple dudes got drunk and then decided to ravage a Foggy. It was dropped on both sides, so whomever had it previously really beat the hell out of it. By the way, your bike is pretty sick. The power must be sweet... I see that Jason of the Dept of Suspension did your forks, how do you like them? Just got mine back from him. As a matter of fact, we have alot of similar components, although your has some things that I wish I had... BST wheels, nice. Are you the original owner of your bike? And take some new pics if you can, we'd like to see that swingarm!

And take some new pics if you can, we'd like to see that swingarm! Which kit did you have Jason put in? I had him put in the one just below the super bike kit. With the forks kitted they feel R&T's (or better) and totally transforms the way it handles. I think you'll be more than happy. The stock forks were a total mismatch with the amount of power the bike is putting out. I bought the bike from Phil Barone (that was an experience [roll]), he had the motor work done and the BST's put on. The bike is far from how I purchased it and as you know never done. Next up is a fuel cell and in the winter I going to pull it apart for powder coating/ paint (want to get a more cohesive color scheme). edit Did Mark say how much the frame gussets stiffened the frame? I will try and get some pics tomorrow. Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: Magnus on May 17, 2008, 07:37:05 AM i got the same kit... i haven't ridden it much yet with the "new" forks, but looking forward to it.
ah, i thought it looked familiar, especially with all the engine work... did he throw in a sax mouthpiece with the purchase? ;) we're glad a bike like that fell into the right hands now. with all that power your next mod should be a chute, like the dragsters have. the gussets stiffened the frame a bit, for sure. and they also look cool... a dual-purpose mod, and a unique mod at that. most people look at the bike and just assume that the gussets are stock i guess, only a sharp eye recognizes it.

great stuff man! could you give us your impressions of the new swingarm? unless of course you haven't had enough seat time on it yet... but in any case, were you able to just plug and play or did you have to modify anything connecting to the frame? but i'm guessing nothing as involved as fitting that 996 SSS like magnus did. after seeing yours and magnus' swingarms, i'm really, really diggin the cleaner and sportier look. but for your larger displacement engine it was probably a practical decision to have an upgraded suspension system, no? russ Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: MonsterMan1036 on May 20, 2008, 07:45:42 AM great stuff man! could you give us your impressions of the new swingarm? unless of course you haven't had enough seat time on it yet... but in any case, were you able to just plug and play or did you have to modify anything connecting to the frame? but for your larger displacement engine it was probably a practical decision to have an upgraded suspension system, no? Had shitty weather this weekend and had some work to do on my other bikes, no new ride report. [bang] The Moto Corse swing arm is a direct swap, the only thing is you may have to adjust your ride height, because the escentric for chain adjustment will affect it. I still need to raise the rear a little more to get it back to 1" over stock in the rear, I'm also going to drop the front around 2mm. Yes, it was a practical decision on the suspension. I think that having the suspension set to you and your riding style is the most important mod you can do. Did you decide what your doing with your mod budget yet?

well my mods are coming slowly but surely. i've been researching and thanks to this forum i'm getting closer to what i want to do. i'm not sure if i'll ever equal magnus' or monstermash's foggy's but i'll be happy all the same. so i'm saving money so i can actually do it. my tail light broke off their brackets the other day so i had to go and either get another beer tray, do the chop or go for a short tail. i went with the CF DP short tail. i won't do the chop unless i do the boomtubes. i think chopping would make the termi's stick out too much. but now the blinkers are standing out like a sore thumb... [roll] oh, and the mickey mouse ears are going in 2 weeks to be replaced with rizoma prototype's. here's my first bling mod...

Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: MTBryan on July 16, 2008, 07:12:21 AM Alright you Foggy dudes! Here is MY story!
I had an '01 Monster S4. I LOVED the bike, but had to sell it a few years ago to buy equipment for a new business. I've regretted it ever since. So, after all these years of crying myself to sleep at night, my wife 'suggested' I look at another Duc. Well, off to the dealership I drove, first thing in the morning. I was eyeing a used Monster, since people seem to put all the goodies on them, and sell them for much less then their investment (just like I did with my '01 S4). On the showroom floor, they had an AWESOME Foggy with only 800 miles on it. I was looking for a used S4Rs, but I've always loved the Foggy, and when it came out I tried to get one, but it was too rich for my blood. Especially since the dealerships were taking full payment as a deposit. Yikes! The Foggy appeals to me because of it's exclusivity, looks, and extra ride height. I am tall, and my S4 always seemed a bit short for me. Anyway, the dealership was asking WAY too much for this used Foggy. And after a week of fighting, they wouldn't budge on the price. They wouldn't come down past $13,500, which is just crazy! Yes, it has low miles, but it was bone stock. I want a FEW goodies. So, I was doing some searches on the Foggy on Google and found one in Indy. But by the time I contacted them, it was sold. Finally, I found one buried deep in the bowels of the Google search. It was an add in Craigslist from San Fran. I contacted the owner (great guy), and to make a long story short (actually, it's too late for that), the bike is en-route to Denver right now, and I hope to have it in the next few days. It has 4000+ miles on it, but has been taken care of better than the bike with 800 miles at the dealership. The shippers couldn't find one scratch or scuff on the entire bike to mark on the pickup sheet! It also has a few extra tricks installed, including all the Monster 'must-haves': Tail chop, open air box, open clutch cover, Ducati performance carbon tank covers, Carbon front fender, Ducati performance mirrors with integrated turn signals, and on, and on. So now, I no longer cry myself to sleep. But I am actually having trouble sleeping! I was going to wait and post when I actually had the bike in my possession. But I gave in to temptation. Now I am trying to figure out if I will be riding it by the weekend, or will the gods of patients force me to wait until early next week to take delivery? THE HORROR! Cheers from Denver, Bryan...

Yep, I took delivery of the Foggy about 1 week before moving to Nashville.
I now live in Nashville. The roads here are AWESOME! Everything in Colorado seems to be North/South, or East/West. Or gravel in the mountains. I spent many years riding dirt bikes and dual sports, which is perfect for Colorado. Here in Nashville, there are so many curvy, buff roads to explore. But I haven't hit any of the good stuff east of here. Maybe this weekend. The Foggy I bought is amazing. It looks brand spanking new! It only has 4000 miles on it. It was babied to the max. He put a few goodies on it, like the Ducati performance steering damper, an aftermarket kick stand, the open clutch cover, and red plates. It is still running a little rich, but I'm OK with that for the time being. I do need to get it in and dyno'd sometime soon. The bike is 85% the same as my old '01 S4. That's a good thing because I knew that bike like the back of my hand. So, the learning curve was zero. A few of the quirks my S4 had, the Foggy doesn't have. But it still has the twitchy throttle, that doesn't like to go slower than about 40 mph. I had a smaller front tooth sprocket on my S4, but I don't really feel the need with this bike. I'm not sure if it's the aftermarket clutch. But it is a lot smoother than my S4. My S4 clutch was JERKY big time. The bike is also a little taller than my S4, which is a good thing since I am 6'4". I am still a little tall for it, but hey, I don't care. :) I can't BELIEVE the difference in power between here and in Denver. That 6000 feet makes a huge difference! I always felt my S4 was lacking power at altitude. But here, the extra power of the Foggy, and that Ducati torque and delivery, are superb. Juliano (I think that's his handle) is a member of this forum from Nashville. We email every day or two, but haven't hooked up for a ride yet. He's on an '05 S4r that looks awesome, and I can't wait to see it. We might be able to do a ride this weekend. Part of the reason I've been hesitant to branch out too far from home (other than the fact that I am in un-packing hell) is that it's very easy to get lost here. My old GPS just doesn't cut it, so I am waiting for one I bought off EBay just for the bike. I have all the mounting hardware, just waiting for the Nuvi to arrive tomorrow, or Monday. :( Sorry, I don't have pictures yet. I am a photographer, and I just can't go snap a few photos and post them. I just can't do it! I need to get something worthy of a post from a photog. :) I have a YouTube link to the bike that the original owner posted for me to druel over before I took delivery. But when I post it here, it doesn't work. Bummer. Ah, the NOISY open dry clutch. LOVE IT!

Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: MonsterMan1036 on February 26, 2009, 08:09:14 PM Lol. I know I just thought the thread needed a bump. So how about we trade bikes? ;D If you ever up this way maybe we could trade bikes for the day! [beer] I've got a few things up my sleeve that will be ready soon. 8) Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: MTBryan on February 28, 2009, 07:56:29 PM I am glad to see this thread resurrected.
My Foggy is in the shop getting it's 6k service. It's been in there for quite some time, but the weather has been cold so I haven't asked about it for a few weeks. It's less depressing in the winter to not see it sitting in the garage every time I come home at night. I hope to get it this week and then start the 'sun' dance for an early spring. Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: Magnus on March 01, 2009, 05:41:45 PM Not too many changes for me this winter, but I hope to have my belt covers soon... was planning on getting the boomtubes ceramic coated but i never got around to it.
Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: hydra on March 03, 2009, 09:54:22 AM forgot to mention along with the CC triple/clips install a few months ago when i went to Speeddog for my 18k mi service, we got a squish set for my cams and installed a lightweight flywheel. the bike definitely feels more responsive overall.
and the cyclecat triple and clip ons made the bike handle much better in the twisties... a sargent seat was a great upgrade as well. it actually transformed the handling dramatically. the bike feels more solid, as if i tweaked my suspension or something. i guess that's how sh*tty the stock seat is (but the seat was 6 yrs old). this is something that didn't happen in such an obvious way when i replaced the stock seats on other bikes i've owned.

It's grey with red/orange wheels. Someone told me it was a Senna model. Someone else said it's not. I don't really care if it is or isn't, but what is the difference between the Senna, the Foggy, and the standard ole S4? Thanks, and sorry for the thread jack. I called mine a Senna when I had it, even though it's not officially a Senna (that was a 916 edition). Yours is just a good ole S4, which is a great bike. [thumbsup] The Foggy is/was the only official limited edition monster. Only 300 were built for the world (could of been 250, can't remember right now) and came with extra CF, SPS cams, Full 50mm exhaust, DP ECU, special paint, and Ti number plate (may have missed something). Also, you could only purchase them online and sold out quick. Here is Ducati's page on the Foggy: http://www.ducati.com/my2002/ducatiModel.jhtml?modelName=S4Fogarty (http://www.ducati.com/my2002/ducatiModel.jhtml?modelName=S4Fogarty) Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: MTBryan on June 16, 2009, 06:03:24 PM Funny thing about the Foggy. Most people don't know what it is, and certainly don't care.
Most Duc owners I've met seem to think it was an over priced, out of date bike and don't really respect it's exclusivity. But every now and then, someone sees mine, and knows what it is, and thinks it's pretty cool they've actually seen one in action. Personally, I love my Foggy. But then I've been through a slew of other bikes, and finally decided I just want to get one I like, and hang on to it for a long time. Long live the Foggy!

Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: Fogger 23 on May 20, 2011, 05:45:02 AM Hi everybody, I live in Dallas and am new to this forum. I'm looking to buy my first Foggy next week from Atlanta. If anybody can share their expertise, I sure would appreciate it. This is my first monster. prior bikes are ducati 916 (classic), ZX11, and GSXR 750. 'bout time I got a Monster!
So the bike is an '02 with 7700 miles on it. My questions follow: 1. It is the stock 916 engine but has 996 cams. the mechanic told me no issues with flaking / pitting. The dealer said the 996 cams are a better match for the 4 valve motor, and provide better torque. Thoughts here? Is this a normal mod? 2. the tachometer has a crack in the glass (bezel). Did some research to find I would have to replace the entire instrument cluster--which is 800 cost, plus labor. I'm inclined to leave the crack as is. Any guidance here sure is appreciated. Wish I could just swap out that glass piece. I'll check back later, but hope to be a frequent visitor as I get the bike up to speed and get my "legs" under me again! Best, Z Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: Magnus on May 20, 2011, 06:39:16 AM Hi and welcome to the club!
I can't say much about the 996 cams, but it's always an area of concern on foggy's... mine has an indeterminate amount of miles on it, but so far no flaking issues. I also have a cracked bezel on the speedo... never bothered replacing it due to the cost, and it leaks in heavy rain. So, basically i'm absolutely no help to you so far. ;-) Post up some pics once you get it.

I've been focusing my time on the track and other super bikes. It kills me to see it not being ridden so, time for someone else to enjoy it. I'll be getting a list of everything together (parts on bike, spares, whatever else) and current pictures. I should have it listed in the classifieds by the end of the week or beginning of next week. You can sen me an offer via PM in the mean time if you would like. Acceptable forms of payment would be cash; don't laugh 1ct plus GIA certified diamonds, precious metals, or a combination of any (it's the biz I'm in so, I'll take it).

Rizoma mirrors, rear blinkers, clutch cover, and resevoirs. Termi pipes sound great. The bike is incredible--great handling-- clean torque, and sounds as mean as they come!

Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: hbliam on June 12, 2011, 11:52:59 PM pretty sure that's normal for that bike. Nope. Not normal. Well maybe normal, but not correct. To Zipper23: I've seen your problem before and to better explain it I contacted the Foggy guru that discovered, isolated, and solved that problem years ago. His post (info he was giving to another guy with the same problem) will follow but the short answer is...you have the wrong ECU in the bike. Contact a Dealer and get them to correct it. And you can thank Tom. "Not sure how much help I can be; my bike's been all sorted out for some time, and my memory is suspect... But I'll try: If you had the single fan issue, then yes, you probably have the 2001 DP ECU installed. I don't remember exactly what the other symptoms were, but the kickstand safety also didn't work properly with that ECU--so not sure what your mechanic bypassed . Now, I'm not sure which of my posts you have read but, I am the one who figured out that Ducati messed up on our bikes by putting 2001 ECUs in the DP kit that shipped with our 2002 bikes. So, I got them to make new DP ECUs that were configured to the 2002 harness and gauges, etc. For a while, they would give Foggy owners an updated ECU--but only if you asked (read, complained). There might be some small chance that they will still, but they probably don't have any left. As to selling your "spare" ECU, there is a very good chance it is "married" to your bike, and that it will not work on another S4. So, if you do sell it, you should be very upfront about it probably NOT working in the new bike... As to confirming if you do have the DP Full Exhaust ECU, the best (perhaps only) way to tell is simply take the bike up to the rev limit a couple times. I don't remember exactly, but I think the stock ECU is about 9500, the half-exhaust ECU about 10000, and the full exhaust about 10500, and SPS cams ECU 11200 (I know this one for sure ). I could be off a couple hundreds, but I know it is in my posts somewhere. And the old DP catalog had dyno graphs detailing the various redline cutouts. But, even still, you will still have the 2001 ECU, in a 2002 bike. We knew about the fan and kickstand issue, but Ducati would never admit to any other possible differences. That said, the bikes do seem to run ok, with the "wrong" ECU. btw, the part numbers may, or may not, be on either ECUs, and may not mean anything. Ducati Performance used a batch of old 996 ECUs, and re-programed them, and then simply stuck new stickers over the old ones for pretty much all their performance ECUs--and the stickers sometimes didn't stick too well. The DP ECU for the 54mm exhaust on the 996R I recently sold, had an underling sticker that matched my S4 DP ECU..."

I hope my ECU is not wrong!! In reading other threads, looks like the right fan triggers in the 220 range, so I presumed it was functioning normally. I don't think the temp rose over 210, and was watching closely. Once I cleared traffic, the temp dropped down into the 190 range. I can say that these bikes prefer the open road--and are grumpy in the stop-n-go~
Not sure on the reference of the kickstand, but mine still has the dumb killswitch so it only starts up when it's retracted. I hope to bypass this...but I need to learn how to do this so will take a bit of time on that. Really appreciate your perspective---I don't really have an established "dealer / servicer" yet, as I'm still relatively new to the dallas area. Will keep you posted on progress......happy riding!

Here's the question: What's the most collectable, Foggy or TriColor? I mean, what will be the most impressive in 15~20 years...Which deserve to be in a museum over the other? They are both great bikes but which is the greatest? TIA for your expert replies Bruce R Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: Fogger 23 on November 04, 2011, 04:57:26 AM Hello, Bruce, there are many experts on this board, but I'll share my perspective.
I believe 500 Tricolore models were made in 2008. Only 300 Foggy's were made. I've heard only 75 Foggy's came to the United States. The Tricolore has 1098 cc, which will be impressive on the performance side. I've found the Foggy engine (916) to have plenty of grunt and easily enough power to loft the front wheel if that's what you like. I did look at both bikes prior to buying (searching for 2+ years) a Fogarty S4. The Foggy has the legendary 916cc engine, which holds a special spot in the ducati history books. I'm sure there are many tricolore owners who are just as pleased---so will look for other responses here. Comes down to personal taste and stylistic preferences. Both are great bikes!! Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: Fogger 23 on November 04, 2011, 05:44:00 AM One other quick thought: the Foggy came with a custom leather jacket, front and rear race stands (with Foggy logo), and a ducati cover as well. Not sure about the Tricolore, but a nice round-out to the collection
Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: MonsterMan1036 on November 04, 2011, 06:31:46 AM There were only 300 Foggy's for the world, 916 motor.
The Foggy came with: full termi exhaust, front/rear stands, all the cf body work, Ti number plate...... but no jacket. The Tricolore had way more than 500 made, the numbered bikes were only for the U.S.. Also, it has the 999 motor not the 1098 motor. Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: Magnus on November 05, 2011, 08:48:24 AM As rare as Foggy's are, it's not really reflected in their monetary value though. They pop up for sale from time to time but the sale prices aren't what you might expect.

So yeah, new owner, sorry no pics, #196 is 100% stock from what I can tell. Has just under 3,500 miles. Missing the exhaust shields on the pipes; hopefully previous owner finds them. Haven't had any luck finding any on the net. The front fender had a pretty significant gouge in it. It is currently at a high end body shop getting repaired.
Great bike, I really love it. I owned 3 Ducatis prior to this one: 97 - 748, 98 - 916, and a 95 - Super Sport. This one is by far the most comfortable. Has just as much power as my 748 did. The 748 was heavily modded by FBF. I read through the thread here and see some good posts, thanks for the info you guys passed on. Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: paratrooper on May 24, 2012, 07:14:20 AM A couple of Fogarty Questions
I have done a lot of looking around on the net but cannot find answers for the following. As I posted not long ago, I recently bought #196. The issue I have is the previous owner is deceased. I purchased the bike from his girlfriend. So I cannot get answers on what I have. The bike looks to be all stock except that the two exhaust shields for the Termi pipies are missing. I mentioned this to the girlfriend and she told me that the previous owner had a box of stuff for Monsters (he owned two at the time of his death). I was hoping this box had the shields I was looking for. However, it did not. But it did have some parts which made me question what is supposed to be on this bike. My bike came with Carbon Fiber side panels marked "Monster S4 Fogarty" In the parts that were found were two side panels marked exactly the same way but not on Carbon Fiber, but rather black painted plastic. What is stock? What came with the bike? I have seen both on pictures on the net, did the bike come with one and the other offered as an option or as an accessory? There was a Ducati Performance Carbon Fiber Clutch Cover. I have only seen a couple of these from pics on the net. Did the bike come stock with this? Last part in the box was an ECU. I haven't been able to figure out what it is. It has a red Ducati Performance plastic cap covering the terminals. It has the number 96506200B And written on it is: Centralina Gruppo Racinng MS4 ECU Exhaust CPL MS4 - Now that is on the red cap. There are two stickers on the ECU body one is "MS4 DUCATI006" and the other is "S16DA037" I cannot tell if it is used or not, but it does have a small spider nest in one of the through bolt holes. That wouldn't be there if it was mounted, but I have no idea how long this piece has been sitting in storage. There is only one maintenance record for service on the bike and there is no mention of replacing the ECU. What is even more curious is the ECU that is currently on the bike has a sticker on the side of it that bears the number : 96506200B, same as on the red cap. Does anyone have any insight here? Do I have an extra ECU or do I have one that was replaced? I would like to see if the other ECU works. Can I just plug and play? Thanks in advance for any help.

as far as i know, the CF side covers and clutch covers came stock on the Foggy's and is what was on my foggy when i bought it used a few years ago. i don't have an answer regarding your ECU question. someone will probably chime in with the answer. i can check the numbers on my ECU. where is it located as i've never had to check on it. Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: paratrooper on May 24, 2012, 02:12:58 PM Hydra, if you lift up the fuel tank, you will see the ECU located on the right side of the bike almost on top of the battery. Thanks for the input, much appreciated.

I'm pretty sure the red cap is from the ECU that's on your bike now, which is the one to match the full system that's on there. The ECU that's not on the bike is the original standard one.

Just chiming in bcz I found this thread while doing a google search for my Foggy! Glad to see that everyone has enjoyed this wonderful machine/work of art. I live in Washington DC and I am the caretaker of the #14 version. This bike has been a life changer. I now own a 998 also but the Foggy crushes it in terms of looks and sound!
I could go on all day about my bike but I want to take a quick minute and respond to the brother who is looking for a heat shield for his bike. Unlucky for him, one sold last week on eBay for $1! Amazing! There are more on there but nowhere near that awesome price. So take a look and I am sure that you can find one. If I were more prepared I would have supplied the link. My apologies. All the same, I will post some pics of my "wheels" soon. Keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down! Cheers!

Well alright! Thank you for the greeting and the seconds on CAM. I have been known to "pop" up in the NE area. LOL! I really enjoy rolling through Georgetown and Downtown during the night time. A lot of eye candy... Feel free to hit me up when you are planning to ride. I have been giving the Foggy a break while I am breaking in the 998 but she is ready for action!

Speeddog, why would the bike have an ECU for a full system put in after the bike was purchased? I thought the bike came from the factory with a full system and would have an ECU to run that. Is that not so? I am even more confused than at first!

I had a pretty substantial scrape on my front fender and I just had it repaired/repainted. The body shop I took it to effed around with it for so long (over one month), that I finally had to go pick it up without it being finished. It is completely repaired and it is completely painted with one clear coat layer over it. I have the Ducati Corse sticker that goes on the front, but they never got around to putting it on. My question is, is that sticker on the fender simply stuck on or is it covered with clear coat? I would like the job to replicate the original paint job as closely as possible. Can you guys look at yours and see if the sticker is covered with clear coat? Much thanks in advance, Mike Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: DC DUC on June 07, 2012, 01:07:11 PM Clear coated...

Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: DC DUC on August 30, 2012, 04:31:36 PM Hey Folks,
Check eBay for a size 54 Foggy jacket to match our bikes! It is starting at $500 with free shipping. Pretty good deal. Plus, this is an awesome way to complete your collection. They are numbered like our bikes (300) and this one is #23! A real piece of history. It I did not have one I would get it for sure!!! Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: eastview on September 09, 2012, 09:23:43 AM Hi all, not sure if anyone looks at this thread anymore but I just bought my Foggy so needed to post. Replaces a 1098 TriColore and will sit in garage next to a 09 696 and a couple of BMW GS's.
Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: Fogger 23 on September 09, 2012, 09:51:24 AM Hello and welcome to the Foggy Forum! Yes, there is a pretty good group that watches / posts to this. I'm also a relatively new Foggy owner (bought it in early 2011). Really enjoying the bike and the performance/handling. Would be interested in your perspective on the tri-colore relative to the new Foggy.
Happy Riding! Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: eastview on September 09, 2012, 10:15:54 AM Hello and welcome to the Foggy Forum!

Would be interested in your perspective on the tri-colore relative to the new Foggy. Happy Riding! Well, the Tri 1098 had the full 70mm Termi's with ECU ect.. lots of extra's and looked GREAT! BUT....for me was not fun to ride on the street, 90mph wheelies were at will and for a 55yo 225lb guy the ride position was not to my taste. The Foggy is great, not the power or sound but still very nice. Mine has speedymoto tripples with Rizoma bars so the ride position is very nice. Still need to adjust the Rizoma rearsets and get some miles on it but I love the looks. I have a BMW GS1200 for long trips and wanted the Monster for nice weather rides, looked at the Monster S4RS Tri but it just wasn't the same as the 1098Tri so when this Foggy came up I jumped on it and to tell you the truth it is better in person that any pictures. Will try to post some PIC's soon. Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: eastview on September 12, 2012, 07:15:20 PM Nope. Not normal. Well maybe normal, but not correct. To Zipper23: I've seen your problem before and to better explain it I contacted the Foggy guru that discovered, isolated, and solved that problem years ago. His post (info he was giving to another guy with the same problem) will follow but the short answer is...you have the wrong ECU in the bike. Contact a Dealer and get them to correct it. And you can thank Tom. "Not sure how much help I can be; my bike's been all sorted out for some time, and my memory is suspect... But I'll try: If you had the single fan issue, then yes, you probably have the 2001 DP ECU installed. I don't remember exactly what the other symptoms were, but the kickstand safety also didn't work properly with that ECU--so not sure what your mechanic bypassed . Now, I'm not sure which of my posts you have read but, I am the one who figured out that Ducati messed up on our bikes by putting 2001 ECUs in the DP kit that shipped with our 2002 bikes. So, I got them to make new DP ECUs that were configured to the 2002 harness and gauges, etc. For a while, they would give Foggy owners an updated ECU--but only if you asked (read, complained). There might be some small chance that they will still, but they probably don't have any left. As to selling your "spare" ECU, there is a very good chance it is "married" to your bike, and that it will not work on another S4. So, if you do sell it, you should be very upfront about it probably NOT working in the new bike... As to confirming if you do have the DP Full Exhaust ECU, the best (perhaps only) way to tell is simply take the bike up to the rev limit a couple times. I don't remember exactly, but I think the stock ECU is about 9500, the half-exhaust ECU about 10000, and the full exhaust about 10500, and SPS cams ECU 11200 (I know this one for sure ). I could be off a couple hundreds, but I know it is in my posts somewhere. And the old DP catalog had dyno graphs detailing the various redline cutouts. But, even still, you will still have the 2001 ECU, in a 2002 bike. We knew about the fan and kickstand issue, but Ducati would never admit to any other possible differences. That said, the bikes do seem to run ok, with the "wrong" ECU. btw, the part numbers may, or may not, be on either ECUs, and may not mean anything. Ducati Performance used a batch of old 996 ECUs, and re-programed them, and then simply stuck new stickers over the old ones for pretty much all their performance ECUs--and the stickers sometimes didn't stick too well. The DP ECU for the 54mm exhaust on the 996R I recently sold, had an underling sticker that matched my S4 DP ECU..." OK, my new Foggy limits at 9,500 rpm.....what do I do?

I may still take a look, but I feel like the price is a little steep for a bike that's not in perfect condition...What's the possibility of doing a sss conversion on that thing? will an S*R rear end bolt up or is it a headache? It's def got potential if the price is right, and I can bring myself to sell the evo ???

sounds like that sss conversion would be more work than its worth, and by the time i'd finished upgrading it to be anything close to the evo in terms of suspension and whatever, probably I'd be into it for just as much as I got back from selling my bike now...although I have been looking at air/exhaust/fueling for it so...

I have just found this page and thought I would let you know that I own No. 124, live in the UK and love the beast. I have had Olly, thats her name, for 6 years now after swearing that after I saw my first on a trip to Belgium that I would one day own one, saw one for sale 1 month later, not in the best of condtion, but she was soon on the way back to her new home, A few months of ebay, ducati specialists all over Europe and USA she was complete, she is used regulary to and from work, holidays and trips to various Moto GPs in Europe, She is not standard, she been modified to how I want her, no pillion foot rest, open clutch, CRT levers, and mirrors, you can make them fit, just turn a small amount off the bar end weight and fit the special CRT taper and mirror fitting and bingo job done,. I also now own a Norton 961 CR ,I have just heard that they have passed your weird emmission laws so you will soon be able to seen them on your roads, they are just a joy to ride so basic and so pretty to look at, but dont put a smile on your face like the duc. Will post some picks of Olly for you to look at in the mean time Happy Christmas and keep save for 2013.

Peak District National Park , with some great roads and only 45 minutes from the Welsh border with its mountains and a very pretty coastline. I have one the best motorcycle circuits in England 20 minutes away, Oulton park, 30 miles from Donnington Park circuit, world superbike circuit, and the home of Norton Motorcycles, so I am very lucky, the only thing we are unlucky with is the crap weather you Americans people seem to get. I put the road bikes away in winter because of the salt eats the alloy over here so I dig out my Pre 65 trials bikes and play on them through the winter, magic, covered in crap but a great big smile on most Sundays with some great people. The bikes are a BSA B40, 350cc, and I have just finished a Sprite with a 250cc Villiers engine. As I said previous I will post some pics soon for you all to see Olly and any of the others if requested. All the very best wishes to all for Christmas and the New Year.

It's a beautiful bike with it's color scheme and enough CF to keep me turning around for another look as I try to walk away. I know the S4 was only produced for a short time and eons ago to boot but what surprises me is the lack of available rearsets to be found anywhere...nowhere!? Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: ducpainter on March 12, 2018, 03:03:08 AM #196 just picked it up two weeks ago with 4,400 miles and looking like it's never been out for a ride. I was hunting for a SSS monster and came upon this one and couldn't resist. Have you tried Jeff at Monsterparts?It's a beautiful bike with it's color scheme and enough CF to keep me turning around for another look as I try to walk away.

He shows Ducabike rearsets that will fit. Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: GregP on March 12, 2018, 05:22:47 AM I have these on my 01 S4. They are pretty solid. Only issue is the placement of the brake master is very close to the exhaust pipe of the high mount exhaust.
I’m a bit of a meatball and they hold up against my weight at the track. No complaints at all. https://motowheels.com/i-6922943-ducabike-adjustable-rear-sets-monster-600-620-695-750-800-900-1000-s4-st.html Congrats on the new scooter! Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: dk1six on March 14, 2018, 06:00:01 PM I've been looking at the ducabike rearsets but feeling like iwanted something different or something with a little more machining to them. I had ducabike on my 07 s4r and liked them they were a nice compliment to the bike. It looks like rizoma would work and i was leaning towards them and then I came across a set of dp rearsets used but in new shape. I'm waiting for them now I just hope they fit with regard to the rear master.

Ummm...found these https://www.bellissimoto.com/aella-riding-step-kit-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1?page=4 No first hand knowledge, or second hand.

Those look interesting I like the part about the brake line hose relocation, I guess that wouldn't be that bad I suppose different sets have different fitment requirements while some bolt right up. Well the DP set got delivered and they look like they might be ok maybe. I haven't installed them yet but they look like the pegs might ride higher than stock but I'm holding out until they're on the bike. Missing from the deal are the heel guards which I know I'll need, I'm looking for something 4" on center and flat that will go back far enough to keep my feet off the riser of the high mounts. I'm going to go through the motions with these and see how they feel but continue to look around for a set. Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: dk1six on June 25, 2018, 04:28:50 PM I just went through the process of upgrading my r/r to a MOSFET kit from roadstercycles after the original killed my battery at about 80 miles from home. So two months later after the new r/r and battery all seems well with that.
Now I'm having a fluctuating idle and stalling at idle issue I need to sort out. I'm getting ready to reset the TPS, finding mixed info regarding linear vs. non linear for the TPS. I'm going to synch the throttle bodies and raise the idle speed up from the 900 RPMS to I'm thinking 1150 or 1200. Any tips, ideas or suggestions are welcome I've never done either of these three procedures myself on a Duc. I'm also trying to decide on should I do it or take it somewhere to be done.

Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: dk1six on June 26, 2018, 06:10:17 AM Thanks I've read the bike boy stuff printed a lot of it, read it again. There's some good applicable data there and I'm also hoping for some 1st hand experience here.
Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: dk1six on September 06, 2020, 07:51:28 AM I'm wanting to upgrade the wheels on the foggy and just thought I'd ask for opinions on it from some other foggy owners.
I have a set of red s4 take offs I was thinking I'd PC them black, I've searched for foggys with red wheels out of curiosity but found none. What's anyone's thoughts on red vs black? Thank you Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: dk1six on September 08, 2020, 01:55:49 PM Does anyone in the thread still have a Foggy?
Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: Duck-Stew on September 08, 2020, 02:22:54 PM The OE red wheels may fetch good $ to someone.
BST’s or RotoBox’s if your wallet can afford them. They already come black. I think there are a couple Foggy owners here still... Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: dk1six on September 08, 2020, 02:35:41 PM I've had the red wheels for a long time and I'll probably hold onto them for one reason or another.
I want to upgrade the foggy wheels and hold onto the originals but I can't decide on using the red wheels as is or PC them black, hence the original question. Thanks for the reply 👍 Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: Duck-Stew on September 08, 2020, 02:38:41 PM Things are only original once. I wouldn’t touch ‘em.
Title: Re: The Official S4 Fogarty thread: please post if you own a Foggy or have input Post by: dk1six on September 08, 2020, 03:32:20 PM Right on I'll just store them
