I bought mike-s4's S4 !!!! WEEEEEeee

[SpeedyG]

Title says it all, I am now the owner of an 02 S4 !!!

I sold the 750 and will be missing her big time :-[

Buuuuuuuuuuuuut ... I have a new toy !!! ;D

I'll post better pics as soon as I clean her up [cheeky]

[HighOctane]

Cool! I like that model. Very nice. Actually, I like it even better than the new S4R 2007.

Puuuurdy [thumbsup] I love the senna grey and red wheeled S4's.

Any mods planned for the new ride?

[SpeedyG]

I really loved the way my 750 looked ... I'll be aiming for the same results. Here's some pics :

OH YEAH [thumbsup] can't wait to see her.

hope you can make it to our first monthly meet on two wheels of the year in May.

That was a nice bike, I remember it from one of last year's meetings. Have fun with it, if you need desmoquattro advice I have a 916 and Olivier used to have an S4.

[Markus]

So are you going to swap some of the gear from the 750 over to the S4? Termis and mirrors and stuff? BTW which mirrors are those? Very nice [thumbsup]

It looks like the S4 a fresh canvas.... what are your plans for her?

[SpeedyG]

Thanks for the comments guys !!! I'm really thrilled with my purchase ;D. I was in need of a little more power and ... DRY CLUTCH !!! >

I'll just have to take the time to get used to that power . 65HP -> 101HP, 45ft-lbs -> 70ft-lbs (Mike said it was dynoed by the previous owner at 110HP at the wheel when cstum mapped)

Yes, the S4 is sort of a fresh canvas. Well, it is to me as it came with a lot of mods I was gonna perform . Here's a list of some of them :

- Arrow high mount carbon round exhaust
- PCIII with custom map
- BCM air filter
- Evo clutch slave cylinder
- CF rad guards
- DP CF side covers
- CF rear hugger, CF sprocket cover (weren't those stock ??)
- DP tear drop mirrors
- Sargeant seat
- Emissions removed
- K&N breather filter
- 39T rear spkt
- Cycle Cat side stand
- ... ...

I have all the stock parts and many extra bits and pieces .

Indeed, I will be swapping as many parts possible from the 750 but the Termis won't fit (damn it > ). Here's a list of upcoming mods :

- Open air box
- Termi low mount carbon oval exhaust (looking to trade for the Arrows if anyone knows someone)
- Tail chop
- CA integrator LED board
- Pressure plate (gotta love dry clutch porn ;D )
- Clutch cover
- Rizoma Circuit 998 mirrors
- Remove : hugger, side covers, windscreen (unsure)
- Reposition : wires, horns
- Billet sprocket cover
- Bucci crankcase breather valve
- CC clip-ons (not sure yet as the were wrist breakers on the 750 but freakin' hot looking > )
- ................ I'm still on the student budget :-[

Eventually :

- SPS Cams
- Ohlins front and rear
- Full Termi

I can't wait to drive her !!! Just the ride from Mike's to my place was a thrill. She is a blast !!! It felt like she had infinite power !!! I know I know, you guys are used to it with your 916, S4Rs, S4R's ... [laugh] [laugh]

I'll try to see if I can make it on two wheels on the May meeting [thumbsup]

[Sivver]

That's awesome, it has most of the important stuff done to it already 110hp at the wheel is definitely possible with mild tuning. Opening up the airbox will help power too, it makes a substantial difference on ST4s with the same motor. There are plenty of tuning options out there if your wallet can stand it.

Be sure to watch the K&N breather, when they get saturated with oil they mist the rear wheel, so you have to make sure you don't overfill the oil or let the K&N filter get dirty.

Hope to see you out and about, we have an event in the works for May to celebrate the new season.

[SpeedyG]

Yeah, I forgot to add that I will be installing my Bucci crankcase breather valve so the oil don't mist the rear wheel.

If I open my airbox, she will have to be remapped but is there a certain amount of holes I can drill in the airbox to avoid a remapping ?

I'm not very used to Power Commanders, can I tune it myself to match the open airbox ?

Thanks [thumbsup]

Can't wait for the season to start .... freakin' snow > > > >
