BOSSWeb Tricks & Tips
How to open the 08 Can-Am
spring and summer promotion banner
1- Click on the banner from the home page
2- It will bring up a file download box, click "run"
3- It will bring up a security warning box, click "run"
again
4- A WinZip self-extractor box will come up, click
"browse", choose "desktop", and then click "OK" and
"unzip".
It will unzip 4 PDF files and an Excel sheet on your
desktop.
Accessory Terminal Locations
There are two accessory power terminal locations you
may be looking for on SpyderTM
. 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.

Batteries
Please be reminded that you MUST adhere to the
proper battery PDI procedure as detailed in the PDI
Bulletin. Failure to do so may result in cosmetic
damage to your customer's new Spyder®
Roadster. We
will not accept claims for damaged plastic due to
improperly serviced batteries. After filling, the batteries
must sit upright so the electrolyte can absorb into the
plates. Also see "What's News" from Nov. 21, 2007.
You will see a running change to a pre-filled battery
coming soon.
Xenon lighting system & Fog Light kit
If the Xenon lighting system & Fog Light kit are both
installed as accessories, the customer will need to
purchase the optional wiring harness part number
710001327. Other wise there will not be enough wire
plugs for the system to work.
This is listed in both sets of instructions.
The part numbers for the optional kits are as follow:
Xenon Lighting System 219 400 083
Fog Light Kit 219 400 084

Important Technical Training Info
In June 2008, every Roadster dealership was auto-
shipped a training package. This material provided
critical information for every dealership including those
who had received earlier training. The material is the
most accurate and includes valuable SE5 training not
before presented.
You must have someone at your dealership complete
this training no later than October 31st
to ensure and
demonstrate your expertise and authority as a trained
Roadster repair and service facility.
DVD Volume 7 Can-Am Roadster Technical Overview /
Roadster Can-Am P/N 219 701 329
Can-Am Roadster Technical Overview Workbook
P/N 219 600 032 /
You can order these items if you cannot locate your
Roadster materials using the part numbers above.
To demonstrate the training is complete, log on to the
BRPTI training site and complete the following course.
Course 56002 - Can-Am Roadster Technical Overview
(DVD 7)
To achieve Technician Status in Roadster you may also
use your Original set of technical DVDs 1-5 to complete
the following exams on BRPTI:
Course 0050 Can-Am Roadster Technician Level (DVD
1-5)
Due date for Roadster training is October 31, 2008.
2009 Ski-Doo®
Technical Update Exam
After receiving the 2009 Ski-Doo Technical Update
book, at the one-day school or in the mail after schools
are finished, the following exam MUST be compleated
no later than December 31, 2008.
Course 52006 - 2009 Ski-Doo Technical Update
Course 52506 – 2009 Ski-Doo Mise à jour technique
550 Fan Summit Calibration
Don't forget the 550 Fan Summits are calibrated for
6000 ft. If not ridden at this altitude the clutching AND
carburetor jetting must be changed at the time of
PDI!!!
This is the selling dealer's responsibility. Failure to do
so will likely cause engine damage that is NOT
covered under warranty.
Starting with 2006 MY (model year) we have added a
large removable Mylar decal to the speedometer to
remind customers and technicians of this fact
New Version P2.3.21
This new version merges all previous versions and
product lines into one version. It is no longer necessary
to use different B.U.D.S. version for different product
lines. It is now available on BOSSWeb, go to:
ComCenter = Document
Document Type = Diagnostic Software
Category = B.U.D.S.
As always it is a good idea to keep at least the
previous version on your computer until total validation
is done with the new version.

Drive Axles Shipping
We will start shipping drive axles to early snowfall

shipping date of December. Please be assured you will
start to see axles well before this date though an exact
date yours will be shipped is hard to tell as we will ship
smaller quantities to all dealers as they become

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.

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). The board rack
as well at the electric VTS are not included in this
system. Please refer to the instruction sheet for the
concerned kit for more details
† Trademark of Castrol Limited used under license.

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.

Use of appropriate job codes
In the last few weeks, we have been talking about flat
rates and how they are compiled. This week, we will
discuss the importance of using the appropriate job
code which will pay you the accurate flat rate when
filing a warranty claim. With some manufacturers, you
need to compile all the job codes and then submit for
the total time. BRP has simplified this process by
combining the job codes so you will only be claiming for
the longest lasting operation as per the repair
procedure in the Shop Manual. By claiming the job
code for the longest lasting operation you will greatly
reduce the risk of being cut on the claim.
So remember that with BRP, FLAT RATE TIME IS
NOT CUMULATIVE. You must use the job code for the
longest lasting operation.
If you have any questions concerning flat rates and job
codes 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.
Brake Noise
Although some brake noise or "squeal" can be
considered as normal in almost any vehicle, we have
had reports of "excessive" brake noise from some of
our Roadster customers. We want you to know that we
are fully aware of the situation and are currently
working with our Engineering team to find solutions. In
the interim, we have discovered that it is possible to
drastically reduce the brake noise in severe cases, by
using commercially available automotive products
designed to address such complaints. We are hereby
authorizing you to use these products in order to satisfy
any customers you may have with the complaint. We
have found that in the US, a product made by CRC
works very well. Avoid the aerosol types as they are
much thinner in viscosity.
Following the brake pad replacement procedures
outlined in the shop manual remove the pads and apply
the material only to the contact areas on the back side
of the pads. Naturally avoid getting any material on the
brake pad surface or brake discs.
The time allowed to perform this will be .7 hours and
may be claimed on a normal warranty claim.
Parking Brake
We also receive reports from customers experiencing
parking brake difficulties. Be sure to maintain the
parking brake adjustment per the shop manual or
training DVD, and also use a spray lube to clean and
lubricate the brake locking mechanism. This will keep
the brake operating as designed.
Be sure to instruct customers to not "over apply" the
brake. Only set it tight enough to prevent the vehicle
from rolling. When releasing the brake, be sure to let it
return "sharply" so that it can reset the ratchet locking
device.

Invalid Variant
During PDI of 2008 Sea-Doo
®
's, or shortly thereafter,
you may encounter the message Invalid Variant type
Conversion while trying to communicate with B.U.D.S.
2.3.17. This message will prevent you from
communication and therefore you will be unable to
program keys, add the customer's name or perform
diagnostic functions. If you encounter this, go to
BOSSWeb and download B.U.D.S. version 2.3.19.
Another option if you have a customer waiting is to un-
plug the instrument cluster and re-read the MPEM data.
When finished with B.U.D.S. plug the cluster back in.
Warning, Enter Model Number
When programming a new ECM for any 4 Tec PWC, be
sure to list the proper model number on the vehicle
page in BUDS After registering the VIN number &
engine number, the screen will open & ask for the
proper model number. The screen will also allow you to
enter S BOAT at that time. Do not do this unless it
really is a Sport Boat.
S Boat is for Sport Boats and will deactivate the
speedometer mode of the ECM for a PWC.
This is a 1 time entry and can not be changed after the
initial entry. Be sure to enter the proper model number.
If you have accidentally deactivated a speedometer in
this way, contact a Service Representative.
"SENSOR"
As you are summarizing watercrafts please be
reminded that the cluster warning "SENSOR " will show
on units that have a depth finder & are run when out of
the water.
See page 3-19 in the 2004 Tech Update Book.
