2008 RXT-215 Supercharger Replacement @ 120 hours

[Setzer1994]

Hey all, first post, love the forum!

During the middle of last season I hit 100 hours, and I ended at about 120. Of course, the supercharger notification came on the dash at 100 hours.

Now, my buddy is handy and has been doing my spring tune-ups and fall winterizations for me the past two years. We follow the shop manual and replace everything in the spring - spark plugs, rubber rings, oil, etc. This year the manual recomments replacement of the SC.

Before I go ahead and drop $700 on a new one from RIVA, is it 100% necessary at this point? While my ski still runs mint after 3 seasons, I do beat on it a little bit (jumping wakes, racing, etc). I've noticed no loss in power yet, still getting about 68mph on a calm river full-throttle, full tank of gas.

Thanks all for your recommendations!

Just rebuild it. Kit is a little over $300 from PWCMuscle.com. definitely the way to go.

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

I've searched on some of the rebuild threads, and it seems like a job that's not too terrible.

And based on your responses, it seems like I should do it immediately and not wait

Save your cash and do it yuorself. I would do it before you ride it this season. A few hundred could save thousands on a new motor.

I have a quick question regarding this, i know i am a long ways off, but after rebuilding the SC, would i need to take it into the dealership the have the "SC rebuild" code removed, or will it disapear after time?
