Ducati S4.
916 4 valve, watercooled power. On the dyno, 95 hp, 67 lb. ft. of torque. The dyno sniffer said fueling was perfect.
26,000 miles and change.
This bike ain't no cherry. It's been ridden and it looks like it. Never been on the track though.
Ohlins remote preload adjustment shock. The shock is starting to dribble. Dan Kyle said it would be $160-$210 to rebuild it. Central Coast suspension told me $130 to do the same, but I used to work for Dan and I'd trust him more. Race Tech did the Showas on the front. Probably wouldn't hurt to change the oil in them.
Steel gas tank, no issues. Top triple clamp/handlebar kit with Pro-Taper off road handlebars, very comfortable.
Stock clutch master replaced with Brembo radial clutch master.
Billet turn signals.
Basically stock, with Leo Vince slip-ons.
Got some carbon parts. Tail piece. Front fender. Radiator shrouds and little frame covers which I took off.
About 2 years ago, at 22,000 miles, the valves were checked (all in spec) and the belts changed. I'll furnish contact info about the guy that did the work. Runs just like it did when I bought it from Santa Barbara Ducati about 5 or 6 years ago.
Tires (Pilot Power) have less than 1000 miles on them. Chain and sprockets (DID ZVM, Stealth/Sidewinder/Krause racing steel over aluminum) with also less than 1000 miles.
I put a starter in it, which turned out to be unnecessary. Also a new battery. It was cranking slow, and I thought it was the battery, it wasn't. New starter (out of a crashed 3000 mile bike, from a Ducati wrecker place in Florida), still cranked slow, Motolectric starter wiring upgrade, still didn't fix it, turned out it was the sprag clutch. I bought it from that same crashed bike in Florida, and while I was in there, put an aluminum flywheel on it. Instant throttle response, almost too much.
The bad.
My brother dropped it at less than 5 mph. There is a dent in the tank from the bars, the shifter tip was broken off (it's been welded back on, a pretty decent job, and I didn't see a need to replace it). There is a minor scuff on the water pump outlet, the very leading edge of the left muffler has a mark, the little bikini fairing has a small mark also. I didn't replace any parts, all damage is from this one drop. And probably knocked at least $1000 off the value of the bike.
It's got an oil leak. It appears to be coming off the oil filter. It's done it ever since I bought it. Trevor Dunne, of Santa Barbara Ducati, told me there is 50+ lbs of oil pressure in the oil filter, and to tighten it way more than I thought it should be, but I don't tighten it that much, I don't want any issues when removing it. When it warms up, it stops leaking, or almost stops leaking, anyway.
There is a tear in the seat cover, from my boot eyelet getting off the bike one day. It needs a seat cover.
That's what I can think of for now, if I remember anything else, I'll update the post.
A cherry one is about $6000. There is one in Arroyo Grande for $7500. One in SF for $4200. One in Chico for $6900. This one is definitely worth what I want for it. No lowball offers, don't waste your time. I'm open to offers though, maybe even a trade, let me know what you have.
I have no qualms about hopping on this thing and riding it anywhere. I did a 500 mile day with the SBR guys last year (or was it the year before?), no problems. Oh yeah, I was behind Hayabusa John on that SBR ride, and his bike hucked a rock up and cracked the headlight lens.
Pictures. For some reason, the site won't let me load pictures right at the moment. I'll figure something out. Or, send me an email or PM with an email address and I'll send you some pictures.
