Officially exchanged $ for paper tonight. Got a large stack of receipts with it! Bike has ~22K miles on it. Supposedly, there’s a box of extras...

That's probably a box for extras. You'll need it. |

Got parts coming to finish the services on a carbed 900 and a 620 Capirex. Once those leave, the S4Rs comes home to roost. (In an unrelated note: I think I figured out what’s wrong with the rear suspension/swingarm on the Bobber. It’s NOT good.  ) |

Well, I finally laid eyes on the bike today.
Rear sets are mediocre and old/tired.
Integrated tail lamp has questionable wiring.
Clip-ons installed.
Missing battery.
Spider webs.
About what I expected honestly...
I’ll have room for it at Casa de Duck Stew in a couple weeks, so expect more updates then.

What gearing does anyone suggest on an S4Rs? I think this is a 15/44 set-up.

Just the usual advice, which is a question.... what kind of riding? When I was racing mine I geared it for optimal performance in+out of two important turns. For all other purposes I just change gear when I feel it's time  |

Street riding. I mostly bought this bike to ride around on the weekends.

I believe 15/44 isn't stock (spec sites says 15/42), but lighter gearing is usually what people want....

Since two more teeth on the rear is a common mod, if the chain and sprockets are serviceable that's money saved.  |

Öhlins shock is blown for sure.
Counter shaft seal is totally shot.
15/44 seems high to me, but I’ll give it a ride and see.

Maybe the Testa motor has different gearing due to a newer primary ratio?

Got the box of extras to the house & it includes all the OE take-off parts down to the tail chop piece. Photos will be posted once the bike gets here and I figure out a hosting website.
The upper Termi muffler has a large repair spot on it (2”x1.5”). Should be able to score some CF tubing and sort that out.
