Title: Old s4 has gone and a new M1100S has arrived Post by: AlbieS4 on July 16, 2009, 10:24:28 AM Well I sold the s4/r and have replaced it and the 748 too with a brand new Monster 1100S in White for a lot less than the retail price.
I have just had it serviced and the modifications have started. I have spent what I saved already which is just over £1200 and got some great ebay bargains saving more. So the Standard M1100S should have cost me £9750 and I paid £8450 [clap] I got the Carbon termi kit on ebay which should retail at £928 for £670 And then just got a load of carbon Oil cooler side covers Front sprocket cover Tank top cover Tank lower cover Headlight cover The other bits so far Ducati performance Touring seat for my other half and yes its comfy Rizoma gold clutch cover JPL gold pressure plate R&G Aerostyle crash protectors R&G front fork protectors Awaiting an EVOTECH tail tidy this week to get rid of long tail I just love this new bike.

If you don't mind, where did you get the protective screen that is over the oil cooler? Title: Re: Old s4 has gone and a new M1100S has arrived Post by: AlbieS4 on July 20, 2009, 10:44:53 AM the mesh i got for my old s4 radiator but never used it. it came from our local hardware warehouse called b&q. only cost around £12 a sheet about 2" x 1". a few others have done the same as me. it just tucked in there at moment. im awaiting the carbon side covers that surround the oil cooler. in post now.

great looking bike Title: Re: Old s4 has gone and a new M1100S has arrived Post by: RavnMonster on July 21, 2009, 02:48:59 AM how much of a power difference is there. I would think you are losing some power going from the S4R to the 1100S
Title: Re: Old s4 has gone and a new M1100S has arrived Post by: weemonster on July 21, 2009, 03:23:37 AM its not an R its an S4 with a sss conversion.

I would think you are losing some power going from the S4R to the 1100S only 6hp officially.it was a 916cc but i converted rear to s4r for a winter project. i never used all the power anyhow. im usually two up with my better half having fun. i had to get an 1100 so nice rear end against 696 imho. im sure i could get over a 100hp out of it. project monster here Ducati Monster s4 to s4r (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA1MsZbXi-8#lq-hq-vhq) Title: Re: Old s4 has gone and a new M1100S has arrived Post by: lazyboy on July 21, 2009, 09:18:08 AM nicee looking bikes...what headlight is on the old bike?

Title: Re: Old s4 has gone and a new M1100S has arrived Post by: duc996 on July 22, 2009, 05:11:11 AM Nice ride [thumbsup] ya too bad the s4r is gone.So what differences have you noticed?
Title: Re: Old s4 has gone and a new M1100S has arrived Post by: AlbieS4 on July 22, 2009, 08:47:41 AM the differences are lighter, better riding position, quicker in corners and better brakes and suspension. my pillion likes it but the position for her is more raised than used to be. shes perfectly happy mind and loves the new bike.
it was always going to be tough a new model coming out an there were loads i slated the 696 for in looks. but the 1100 has blown aside those issues and leaves me with that great big grin i first got when i rode a duke.. im trying to fix the issues that i dont like slowly but it all works well. the headlight may be shoved in but its superb. i always liked the dashboard other than wanted orange glow. having a switch to shift from clock to total miles to trip at a push of switch. im leaving the gearing alone this time. i changed the s4 to 14 tooth and although smoother i hated the revs. rear sets from rizoma is wishlist. and a spare set of tank panels too customise.
