They may be over-sprung, since the water cooled bikes are a little heavier but I’m not sure.
As far as I’m aware they will both have the same poor valving issue as your forks.
The S4R has TiN coated stanchions, which in theory are better are than the plain old chrome on S4/your current forks, whether you’d notice any difference is debateable.
Probably not worth changing.
New oil is probably the best thing you could do for old forks (on a budget)

Thanks for that Slob.

I was thinking that if they were a better design, I might purchase some and have them upgraded instead of mine... Given your information, I now won't consider it.

Gotta love this site.
