S4 Ohlins SD154 problem

[350TSS]

Jacking the rear suspension up about 5mm would help with the headshakes. With the dreadful design of handlebars on the S4 it is not possible to drop the yokes on the stanchions

This is a good thing to do on any of the early Monsters, they're too rear biased and with the S4 power can get a bit wild up front! I did that with my S4 Foggy and put clip ons so you can drop the forks too if needed but didn't find that necessary. Steering damper does help too.

suspension on rear is Ohlins and up 7mm , bars are renthals with yoshimura yokes and 996 forks with Ktech internals dropped 20mm due to 996 forks being 10mm longer than original showas so 10mm down on front end bike handles beautifully et all speeds very agile and tracks corners like a leech

bike still headshakes at 120mph and has always done that
