I am fairly new to riding standups. I have rode my friends 1994 sj a few times over the last couple of years and just purchased a new 2008 superjet. Any advice on mods?

[Matt_E]

Yes.
See first post in this thread.

[Tadpole1975]

Does anyone know where I can find an intake grate for a 2008 sj? Worx 201 is for sj thru 2007 only.

[Matt_E]

Call any of the big guys in the industry - Blowsion, Riva, Wammer, Legdrag....and ask them.
I'll bet they know.

Hi guys, finally found a site worth belonging to with tons of good info. I just bought an 08' Superjet and your right Tadpole, most of the grates fit only 07' and older. I had to buy the WORX 228 intake grate and it fit flawless. They changed the pump location on the 08' and thats the reason the others dont fit.

[Prem1x]

I would be shocked if the 07 grate did not fit the '08. I was under the impression the pump was only moved back, not that the intake area was reshaped. I think WORX' suggestion to go with the 228 model is because the scoop was redesigned for the 08, not that the 201 scoop for the 07 won't bolt on.

I suggest the mods break this out into a new thread so that someone how has put a grate on an 08 can clarify.

[MADMAT]

That list makes for nice ski no doubt!! Nice thread!

[goldmullet]

Hey guys, sorry but I might have given some bad info. What I know for sure is the Worx 228 grate fits the O8' and I assumed that was the only one that fit since that was the option I was told I had when I ordered through WORX USA. I do not know for fact if any older models fit the hull in question. Sorry for any confusions, I will think and research more in my next posts.

Thanks Yamaslut and all who share info on the X! It takes a lot of the guesswork and mistakes out of building up a freestyle ride.

What about a stronger pole spring?
