Yeh; my main concern is actually the unpredictable response; would prefer not to be heeled over and open the throttle only to have it spit back/sputter.. It also died at a traffic light yesterday, the instant it turned green. After having idled fine for a while. Re-started at the first compression stroke. Odd.

Certainly has a sensor on the rear pot - but every time I look at the front of the motor, my eyes are invariably drawn instead to the radiator and wondering WTF is up with that

(my end tanks, unlike almost every other S4 I've seen, don't have the screw bosses for the heat shields, and the mounts are assembled weird/wrong; I've wondered if it's an ST2/ST4 or some other random radiator bodged on. Browsing prices for an S4 rad, it dawns on me why someone might do that..)

Yea, I noticed that when you first got it. I think it's an ST or similar radiator. I did find someone on ebay selling new S4 rads quite reasonably priced and s/hand ones do occasionally pop up on there too. I'll see if I can find the link for it.
