Title: Pre-purchse 2002 S4 Questions
Post by: lotusman on March 07, 2012, 05:49:58 AM
Hi, what year did monsters change steering rake-basically is it different from my previous M900sie/2000-to my intend to purchase 2002 S4?

Should I expect "lightweight" wheels or "standard" wheels on a non Fogerty S4?

Suspension-Ohlins or standard on this vintage bike?

Looking at $5K for an 9000 mile bike.

Frame changed in '01 on the S4, '02 on all other Monsters.

The cast aluminum 5-spoke Marchesinis were standard on the S4, lighter than the 3-spoke wheels.

Front suspension was 3-way adjustable Showa forks; spring preload, compression and rebound damping.
Rear was a 3-way adjustable Sachs piggyback reservoir shock.
