The Ohlins shock is standard on the Sie, as are the adjustable Showa forks.
You also get an aluminium handlebar, rubber covered footrests, carbon front mudguard and hugger, including a plastic mudguard extension underneath the swinging arm. The side panels were carbon too.
There's also a floating rear brake caliper. The headlamp fairing and seat cowl were thrown in too.

I don't think it will take you long to get it running sweetly.
The thing that let's the Sie down in my opinion is all the grey paint on the wheels and engine. I've fixed mine with a change of colour.
That all sounds right, I'm tending towards valve clearances as the probably poor running cause, one cylinder drops in and out at low RPM
