Monster S4 Rs Inbound From Spain

Shhhhh…………………

 

Not easy to do it the other way

Who would buy an 1198 with a big cranked testa engine?

 

Swingarms would heve to be different.

ie 999/1098 type on the monnie.

Monnie arm on the monnie engine/1198 frame

 

Is this just one you've bought to sell Carl??

 

Pretty much 996s engine iirc, 75lb ft torque and about 120 hp. Guzzles fuel and likes to be hooned about

 

998/999 based

Small t bodies heavy ass crank

 

Must admit, i’ve toyed with the idea of a lightweight flywheel. I would love to try one converted before committing.

 

Always thought they were 996 motor.

 

That looks ripe for tuning!!

 

S4R had 996 engine until 2007/8 when it was 998
S4RS was 998 engine and maybe only 2007/8?
Most noticeable outward sign was a deep sump on the 998 engine.

 

Go for it Carl.
Bring the Monster back, ride it a while on the QT while ‘trying to sell it’ fall in love with it and sell on the 1198.

 

For £3k and some clip ons it would make a fun trackday bike

 

Am taking my 04 S4R down the dragstrip for a laugh on the 17th. Love riding this bike and if it had more power, it would just be scary without any traction control etc...
