08 sj help

[Officer Mike]

hey guys,
I am new to SJs, just grabbed an 08. i was reading something about when they shortened the pole for this year it effected the steering? can some one tell me more about this?

one more question will the xmetal turn plate and bars bolt up to the stock pole or do i have to do something else?

Thanks guys

oh no you went to the darkside.....mike i will be home from school today, i wanna see this turd haha

you can adapt the XMetal Steering to a stock pole. Give Radney a call and tell him what you want to do, he can set you up.

From what I have read the '08 pole is the same as the FX1 pole, it uses a different top aluminum section with a different mounting location for the steering cable. If this is true the steering should actually have less throw than a pre '08 model. I dont know any of this to be true, just what I read on the internet.
Get that thing on the water and make KX454 jealous that you have less weight and better handling.

[h2odesperado]

theres prolly about what 1 or 2 black ones? and besides that I don't see many. I know for sure last summer I saw an 07. Way back by the beach.

 

[Officer Mike]

there is two black ones... bastards. i wish mine was black. ..do you ride there often.. i have never really seen any stand ups out there besides my group. at least people that seem like they are pioneers of the sport..

I'm only there a few times in the summer. I have a all white SN and a stock blaster. 4th of July I'm there for 2 weeks. Theres that one dude who lives on the corner with what 2 750s, an octane and an SXR?

Hmmm...I have heard of a few who are getting of their SXR's and onto '08 superjets for this year's stock class.

i dont know why you are on the handling kick bob, my old 650 handles better then your sxr now, with that loose back end your sporting. I havent done a thing to it yet, and i am already sitting 60 lbs less then you..

so go ahead move your motor, swiss your bed plate, split your deck...

but remember i am pretty good at building things too.

..thanks yamanube

yea i kno exactly who you are talking about. he is one of the guys that i was referring to. its really only him.. me, kx454 and kawi 800.

shoot me a PM when you are going to come up. i live right by the boat launch.

 

[Kawi 800]

:usa:The age old battle on Harveys Lake kawi vs yami, it will never end. Should be a good summer though :Banane35:

 

[kx454]

haha i am in no way on a handling kick, my motor is actually moved back to stock (cause of the dry pipe), plus its getting shortened this week....i cant wait to tow that yami around, i got a few tricks you dont even know about yet:sneaky:

 

[Officer Mike]

sorry i dint want to be like you and cale and will and the sobecks. . . i love what you did to yours and cales is shaping up real nice too. but i thought i would add some of my own flavor, and not be a follower.

 

[wnb800]

congrads dude im happy for ya, its about time you treated yourself to a new ski. make sure you get a head, prop and grate, then you should be rippin

 

[Officer Mike]

oh you know i will. .. i am glad to see someone has something nice to say. call me when you get home from work if you want a hand with yours.

I saw some of the most amazing riding ever on a 2008 Superjet by Taylor Curtis in Daytona!!

(This ski seems killer, light and good handling, if they would have put a bigger motor in it stock, I would have considered it...but I'm not starting over with a slow ass stock 701.) I'd rather just put a Trinity hood on mine and call it a day.

I am one of them, the 08 rips(stock rules)
