I bought my Spark yesterday and the dealership told me I had to have the first servicing after the 10 hour break in period. $200 for the service and another $150 to have the ski picked up at the marina and then brought back since they have to take the whole top off and cant just do the work there at the marina. Someone else told me from another forum that its 5 hrs break in time and i dont need my first service until 50hrs. also they dont mean you have to be on the thing 5 hrs straight right? sorry about stupid questions but this is my first PWC. im calling seadoo to clarify but what do you guys think. i paid the service and pick up delivery already with the cost of the ski so i dont have to pay later but if i can wait longer to get it serviced im all for it. my dealer said to break it in by running it at mid speed but okay to open it up a few times. i could wait until i get the manual but want to hear from you guys 
and good question about the oil change, i heard its easy, reminder : to keep warranty valid you have to use seadoo parts so get a seadoo filter if you are doing a DIY oil change

Your manual should be under your seat. Take off the seat and it will be in a clear bag. Break in time is 5hrs. Don't go full throttle from a dead stop during that time or hold throttle wide open for an extended time. I stated before that my ski is going in at 25hrs. Seems to be the happy medium between everyone's required time.
