One is "un-switched" battery power, and the other is "switched" battery power. Fuse locations for both are found in the front fuse block under the storage compartment lid. The "un-switched terminal" can be found under the service cover inside the storage compartment, plugged to a blank white block, and has Violet / Orange and Black wires. The "switched" terminals are located inside a boot, inside the left front upper shock tower weldment, and have Violet / Yellow and Black wires. Trouble Shooting Please don’t forget that all recent Technical Update Books contain a handy trouble shooting index for past models. You'll find the index on page 54-56 in the 2008 book. When confronted by service issues on 2002 and subsequent models, check the index to find past Update Books that may help you. D.E.S.S. TM Post Interface Many of you may be using the new MPI-2 now that they supersede the VCK and have been auto-shipped to all Can-Am and Spyder dealers. Please keep in mind that the D.E.S.S. TM Post Interface (529036019) is needed for programming keys on older boats, and the MPI-2 will not allow diagnostic functions on DI models without the interface connected. The Interface was not auto- shipped and must be ordered separately. The older VCK will continue to be useful for many years. Sport Boats Effortless returns! There is a new program supplier for Sport Boats radios, CD players, and remote controls. If you should run across a Jensen ® , Voyager ® , or Audiovox ® product issue, have your repair technician call ASA's experienced troubleshooting team and they'll help you sort out the problem. Further information can be found on page 9 of the 2008 Seadoo Technical Update book.

E-TEC ® Spark Plugs Proper orientation or "indexing" is critical for an E-TEC ® engine to perform properly. Please make sure you are using spark plugs received from BRP p/n 415129375 as these are specially indexed for the E-TEC ® engine. If using plugs from any other supplier special care will be needed to "index" the sparkplugs properly. Bombardier Recreational Product's Guide to Service Fundamentals and Principles This 480 page book is the only textbook of its kind as it teaches basic theory and principles, using BRP's products as examples. Your technicians can learn the basics while applying the knowledge directly to our Products. It was sent to your dealership free of charge as part of your BRPTI training kit. This valuable text book should be kept in a place where all technicians will have access to it so they can refer to it when questions arise. Please read "the book" and share it with all your employees. Part number of the book is 484800168 (English) and a picture of the cover is below. When replacing the GBPS (gearbox position sensor) on a Spyder™ Roadster it is not necessary to remove the countershaft sprocket. The 2008 Service Manual incorrectly states it must be removed yet the flat rate (0.3 hr) does not include sprocket removal. The 2009 Service Manual will be corrected. ®, ™ and the BRP logo are trademarks of Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. or its affiliates.

There is a limited number of SE5's in the field so we are also asking you to control your parts orders. Parts are coming from supply on a regular basis, but in order to reduce the risk of creating a back order, please spread your orders over a reasonable time period that matches your projected completion rate.

LATEST BULLETINS No bulletins this week . Minimum Requirements Computer technology is moving forward at an aggressive pace. Many of the issues we face together can be traced directly to out-dated equipment and software. Please take the time to read the alert posted on your home page of BOSSWeb to fully understand theses challenges. This is a "must read". The name of the document is: Minimal Requirements Valve Adjustment Some customers may be approaching a mileage where their Spyder is due for a valve clearance adjustment, or inspection. In order for you to be prepared for this, you need to stock an assortment of valve shims. The shims most frequently used are in the 2.6 to 2.8 millimeter range, so if you at least stock this range of shim you should be covered. It is not necessary to stock all of the available shims. Beep, Beep, Beep Many of you are now receiving your first SE5 electric shift models. Please be aware that when you shut down an SE5 engine without applying the parking brake the warning beeper will sound for approximately 20 seconds. This is to warn the customer that his Spyder could potentially role downhill until the parking brake is set. Stopping it in gear is not effective as on SM5 because of the centrifugal clutch. Wake Ballast System: Further to the 2008 Sea-Doo ® Catalog update zip bulletin, this is just a quick reminder that the Wake Ballast System 295501072 part number has been cancelled and has been replaced with the following part numbers: 295100322 – GTX, RXT (2006 – 2008) and 295100334 – GTX, RXT (2002-2005).

In the last few weeks, we d about flat rates, how they are compiled and the importance of using the appropriate job code. This week, we will discuss how to submit multiple repair claims on one vehicle. First, how do I submit for multiple repairs? In order to add a repair you only need to click on the sign at the end of the Trouble part number line: When you add a repair it will say Repair 1 of 2 and the number will change with the number of repairs you add. Second, when do I submit for multiple repairs? When you do more than one repair in different systems or different areas of the unit; by doing a multiple repair claim you will be able to claim for the appropriate job code for each repair. Many dealers choose to submit 1 repair for multiple repairs done on a vehicle and use one job code and then lump all the remaining labor on the extra labor line. By doing this you greatly increase your risk of being cut on your warranty claim since the logic between the job codes and the parts required for the multiple repairs will only show as a lump operation. If you have any other questions concerning multiple repair claims contact the Warranty Department at (800) 361- 9980 (Canada) or (800) 366-6992 (US), select 3 for Warranty and then 5 for Policies and Procedures.
