As nina says the ST4 can take 140mm and is warranted to do so:

It does raise the BB a bit so its not quite as snappy as when run with 120mm but is still a serious amount of fun!

The last thing I'd do to an ST4 is anything that raises the BB height. The low slung centre of gravity is it's greatest asset IMO!
It's the closest thing to a Star Wars speeder bike you can get...

Indeed Gary, starwar speeder bike is a good analogy - usually run the forks at 120 but find it useful to wind them out for steep downhills, always with a fair amount of sag though!
