Just got me a 09 SJ

[BudProductions]

This afternoon I had a great idea to go buy the 2009 superjet that was sitting in the show room of my local dealership. I'll be picking this puppy up tomorrow morning, can't wait to go rip it. This will be my first time riding a sj, I hope she puts out!

[Etheraldreamer]

[BudProductions]

Enjoy the new ride! And enjoy some nice upgrades when you can do them.

stock 08+ is much better than stock 96-07. You'll love it.

Good point.. stock impeller was pathetic on the 96-07 SJ, and the new one makes all the difference in the world. Unless you have a lot of $ to waste, make that one of your last mods after pipe, heads, msd, etc.

New handpole, steering system, and pre-08 steering cable are a must on a 08+ sj if you want to have a freeride ski. For some reason yamaha thought it would be great to take away all the throw in the steering cable when they re-did it.

08+ have higher compression too.

really? different style head or just milled from the factory? thinner head gasket? whats the cause for the compression jump? how much more are we talkin?

I'm pretty sure it's a thinner head gasket. if I remember correctly it was 170 psi stock, so up 20 psi.

WOW! This thing is sick. The superjet murders my sxr hands down, I'm loving this thing so far, totally gnarly ski. I'm thinking my ultra 250 is going to have a for sale sign on it real soon and then taking the funds to trick out the new sj

Mine and adet16v's both have 185psi. The guage I used reads 145-150 on the older superjets. It is a thinner head gasket. I was so excited when I found this out.

sweet! i wonder how yamaha figures this will hold up. dont the cast cylinders have a tendency to crack on the exhaust port side when the compression is raised without the added support of a girdled head?

I don't think compression has anything to do with that. It's poor exhaust mounting.

wrong side- exhaust side is beefy, intake side is weak. front, rear and intake side is where it will crack. thus the half girdle or full girdle set ups.
