Performance suggestions for my S4

[fouramdesigns]

I'm curious now. How can we find out for sure big boys?

That would only work if the S4 steering stem diameter and offset size were also the same. I think it is, but I'm not certain. There is a change from 01 to 02 bikes.

I'm almost positive it was only on the air cooled bikes.

1993-2001 air-cooled bikes were on the 888-derived frame which used the older triple dimensions.  2001 - 2008 water cooled bikes and air-cooled bikes 2002 -2008 were on the ST-derived frame which uses the newer style triples.

Should fit w/o issue.

Amen for Stew. Pass the salt please!

I knew the older (93-01) Monsters and Supersports used the same steering stem size as the 888 (and really quick offset on the Monster), but wasn't sure about the S4, which was a bit of an oddball in that it was a watercooled DSS...

Anyone sitting on some rearsets....just sayin

Crap, lost out on a CF tank.

What mod's are needed to make this work:

Different shock (IIRC) and something to make 6 speedo signals per wheel rotation versus the 4 on this brake rotor.  Different exhaust system too.

If you're thinking of going THAT far...  just sell your S4 and buy an S4R.  996 motor and this swingarm already on it.

  ANh, too much work. I'll keep my set up, add the BST's, paint, few little mods. So pissed I missed out on that CF tank. My heart sank when I called and it was gone. Not even a Duc owner bought it, some stupid ass Yammy custom build. Yes I'm bitter, be better tomorrow

What else will be needed to transplant S4RS/999?

gadzooks. I think you need to sit down in the throne room and have a thinking-spell about what you are looking for in a bike.

The S4 has a great deal of power for the road, if you are looking for more "go" and you like the SSS, then I'd say sell and get an S4RS. You'll save money, get the trick suspension and bigger motor. You can still put BST's on it.

immense amounts of work.  Not worth it.

BST & Rotors it is. I'm done, promise. I just think, way too much. My ADD. I'm sitting down on Omni, sketching the mods out. Sticking to it. I just want torque, speed, and to feel it. Guess I'm partial to my S4 since I have almost 7K in it thus far. And I'd never get that back out of it. You guys are right, shave weight off, that's were the most performance bang for the buck will be.
