Speak up on this scooter! Who's got one? I know we are a minority, but then again I think we have at least 8-10 that I've seen so far posting... (http://applewood.smugmug.com/photos/295882027_WSEPn-Ti.gif)
Mine, an 01, purchased last Sept. w/ 5400 miles (12k as of today ;D) a few mods here and there...

Love the transformation Scooby!!! [thumbsup]
Here's my 2001 MS4, with 6000 miles on it....Currently running Full Termi kit w/ spaghetti pipe, open airbox, DP ECU, DP race Cams, 14T front, Sargent seat, and Michelin Power Race medium-softs...The S4 is the most unique Monster IMHO, being that it's the only one ever made with the 916 motor....Other things add to it's uniqueness too, though...
I just installed a MotoWheels red pressure plate + half cover, which I'll post pics of later....These pics are from earlier this year....I also have a Matris M3 damper on the way....The only color they had was blue though!!! :-\ Oh well, it might look cool, who knows.... :)

I forgot to ask, scooby, what kind of rotors are you running?? do they feel any different fromte OEM ones?? They look great!!
-Also, what brand of rearsets?? I REALLY want to install some rearsets, but they're kinda hard to find for the S4 it seems.... :-\

Rotors are brake Tech ductile iron... very nice with a pretty darn good weight savings too. Not to mention my wheels are not stock; they are Marchesinis but they are magnesium instead of aluminum...
The rearsets are Rizoma, but a style/type that are no longer made. They came off my Monster 750 as did just about all the spare parts on my S4. It was all interchangable...
2002 S4 with 20 000km. Currently being serviced. [thumbsup]
Serious question here: does my (bike) ass look a little low. Any n00b threads on raising the ride height?

It does look a little low,but you look like a big guy so maybe it sank a little?

I'm only 84kgs, but point taken. I'll photograph the bike when it gets back from the shop - in two or three weeks! Waiting on parts from Italy. :'(
Yo Yo Yo, My Homies! Just got my 2001 S4 this week!!! and I Love it! Bike is pretty much stock except for the Leo Vinci hi-mount Slip-ons

Scooby, Johnster. How do you guys lke the Sargent seat compared to the stock seat? Does it sit a little higher? I have a sargent on my 900 and I love it, makes a world of difference. So far I'm really diggin the stock S4 seat so I havent decided if I will get a Sargent for S4.

I really do like the Sargent! [thumbsup]
-I've heard people say that they're too firm, but I like that they're very roomy.... It allows you to shift your butt position for hanging off much more naturally, which I like a lot....The only gripe I have, is that I like to "Thigh-Master" the tank a lot when I ride, especialy during hard breaking + cornering, to take weight off of the bars, and it seems like the angle of the seat going up to the tank is a bit off, and can cause inner-thigh cramps, but that may just be me.... :-\
but yeah, I like it!! Props...

Hard to tell from the pic, but have you added some spring preload yet? If the bike has the ride height you want when you are not on it, just dial in enough preload to keep it from dropping down when you get on. If that doesn't do it you may need to raise the ride height with the rod just fore of the spring. There are manuals you can download on Ducati.com that will give you detailed instructions on how to adjust your particular model. Let us know how it works out.

Love the side plastics on radi and just behind. I would love to know where you aquired them as well as the belly pan. I can only find another kind which doesnt conform to the engine well.
Oh and the seats!
