Title: JohnEE's S2R1000 Project Post by: JohnEE on May 24, 2014, 06:06:50 AM After spending the winter doing nothing except maintenance stuff to the ducs I figured it was time to start modding and making this bike my own.
Start of project: (https://scontent-a-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/t31.0-8/p417x417/1243179_10151906402740348_1731826114_o.jpg) Current form: (https://scontent-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t31.0-8/11040578_10153476951210348_5552382527801934550_o.jpg) The bike: 2008 S2R 1000 bought used with 5,103 miles on the clock. Bought in August of '13 This is my dream monster. To have found one from the last model year and with a minuscule amount of miles is a dream come true. To me the S2R1k is the perfect example of everything that is right with Monsters/Ducati. The DS engine has more than enough power for the street, the SSA is awesome and the shotgun style pipes are gorgeous(The Arrow full system is moto art). That being said these are the things I want to change! Already Done
To Do Suspension
Electrical
Paint/Powdercoat
Engine
Clutch
Other

[Dolph] +1 [popcorn] Congrats on the good find too! Title: Re: JohnEE's S2R1000 Project Post by: hackers2r on May 25, 2014, 01:33:53 PM Looks like a nice project. But if you're concerned with the handling and you're replacing the forks upfront, I'd suggest taking a look at the rear shock as well, the bike may work better as a whole if you upgrade both. With that said, I don't know if the valving from the Ohlins off a super bike will work with the monster. Someone else may know a little better.
Title: Re: JohnEE's S2R1000 Project Post by: grunte on May 26, 2014, 05:13:47 PM I likewise have an 08 s2r. I bought mine new. I haven't done many mods to it other then a tail chop, bar ends, and aftermarket signals. I am now getting the urge to spend money on parts but am finding it more and more difficult to do so because the year of the bike being six years old now. Do you or anyone else reading this know where I can get parts?, I specific I would like termis or sil exhaust but cannot find them for this year bike.
Thanks Title: Re: JohnEE's S2R1000 Project Post by: Travman on May 27, 2014, 04:34:24 PM The rear swing arm looks great when painted or powdered coated black on the S2R bikes. There was one that came with the swingarm black already. I think it was the 2008 S4R with the red frame and titanium (matte gray) paint job.
Title: Re: JohnEE's S2R1000 Project Post by: dbran1949 on May 27, 2014, 05:36:36 PM I actually think matching swingarm to frame color looks best [thumbsup]
Title: Re: JohnEE's S2R1000 Project Post by: JohnEE on May 28, 2014, 09:21:03 AM Update!
Flashed the ECU to get rid of the O2 sensor. Less Wires make me happy. Runs soo much better now at low RPMs, the DucEE couldn't solve all the problems. I'll be looking to make as many small changes as possible, the wifey and I are saving up for a house. But I still should be able to make some decent progress here and there with some cheap mods.

Will you be doing that suzy mod where everything runs thru an electric breaker thingy?

Not yet, and yes i will be replacing the fuse box with an solid state circuit.Title: Re: JohnEE's S2R1000 Project Post by: JohnEE on June 01, 2014, 08:26:28 AM (https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/t31.0-8/10258702_10152593176580348_2131681242626462985_o.jpg)
Got some small things done. Removed the Lambda sensor cable and DucEE from the bike. Added reflective wheel tape to 3/4 sides of the wheels, I ran out for the last side :( . Cleaned her up for once also. Picking away.... Title: Re: JohnEE's S2R1000 Project Post by: JohnEE on April 20, 2015, 01:31:23 PM Zombie build/thread back from the dead!!! I've updated the first post also with future plans/current state. Just picked away at some things over the winter. I'll mention vendors and manufactures as to where I sourced these goodies from. When we support them they support the forum!
Finished the tail chop with an integrated tail light(MotoDynamics via Monster Parts). I got one for a 696/796 since it's not a plain as the older monster ones. Also I ordered the correct electrical connectors from Cycle Terminal (http://www.cycleterminal.com/index.html). I got the crimper as well. Works fairly well, I would recommend it if you want a general crimper for most contacts or don't need to do many crimps. Cycle terminal should most have everything you need if you don't want to search through mouser or digikey(worst search engine ever...).

Made a new tray and tail light bracket out of aluminnum and coated with a plasti dip like spray. (https://scontent-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/v/t1.0-9/11120519_10153463000235348_5356346023531774286_n.jpg?oh=3156aee8ef332cbab4ca245de909b648&oe=55E540F7) I'll clean up the wiring when I go through the whole harness. These are Tyco AMP Multilock 040 Series Connectors for the turn signals and a 3 pos Sumitomo HM Sealed series for the brake light. (https://scontent-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpt1/t31.0-8/11059694_10153463000210348_7926068544938791685_o.jpg) The 695's battery died so I took that as a sign to buy a Shorai for my S2R and swap the lead acid from it. I also put my MT-03 head light on and installed Barracuda mini-viper turn signals(Monster Parts). I love the mini-viper turn signals. The front looks like garbage until I can get rid of the stock gauges(Moto gadget = $$$). I forgot to take a good picture so squint at this crappy phone pic for now.... (https://scontent-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/v/t1.0-9/18492_10153456617855348_4003588222830285244_n.jpg?oh=5944767a6bf3cd85a02aa27d34b81ddc&oe=55A49B8B) Title: Re: JohnEE's S2R1000 Project Post by: MotoPsycho on April 21, 2015, 12:54:57 PM Nice. Looks like you're on the right track. I have a motoscope pro and plan to do a M-unit very soon. You'll need the Breakout Box B for the gauges to show all the info FI bikes give. Def check out Revival Cycles. They have about the best prices and they have excellent customer service even if you're not a customer...yet. Kopfjager could tell you all about the M-unit woes with FI. I'd give him a PM.
Title: Re: JohnEE's S2R1000 Project Post by: JohnEE on April 21, 2015, 03:52:16 PM I knew he had one, didn't know he had problems with it. Revival and Spielgler are the places I've found that distribute motogadget stuff in the US. Thanks for the info!

[puke] Title: Re: JohnEE's S2R1000 Project Post by: MotoPsycho on April 27, 2015, 09:13:58 AM That's exactly how I felt. Bleh. [puke]
At least that one has information on it though. Not a speedo connected to a giant box with 5 lights in it. Title: Re: JohnEE's S2R1000 Project Post by: JohnEE on May 16, 2015, 03:20:10 AM When maintenance needs and mod wants combine.
I haven't changed the paper filter since I got the bike. I finally got the DP map(The ECU fairy ;) ) so I could switch over to pods and get rid of all that black plastic! (https://scontent-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xat1/v/t1.0-9/11219086_10153522191330348_6071835649992598166_n.jpg?oh=d37f0ffd6e2cc99262d64c7574d39ac3&oe=55C4926F) This is the corse dynamics kit from Moto Wheels. Decent kit. Was sorta a PITA to install, the air box was awkward to remove. The bracket for the coils is a tight fit between the fuel line and a branch of the harness. Getting the velocity stacks into pods took effort. Everything just took a lot longer than I expected for a simple mod. Also no instructions, you have been warned. I need to cut down that idle air filter tube. I found some more tubes to pull off, the PO did the charcoal delete but left the tubes to the intakes attached and plugged the 1 into 2 hose with a nut. I need to find out what screw can plug into the intakes. As for performance wise, I didn't really notice any difference with the butt dyno. Sounds a lot cooler though, haha. I did it more for getting rid of the giant black box more than performance so it works out. |
