First, I’d like to thank all the people that had shared information about how to upgrade Spark 60 hp to 90 hp, it was very useful for a beginner like me.
When trying these steps, make sure your seadoo battery is in good condition (charged) and also make sure your laptop battery will not die on you. It takes less than 5 minutes to upgrade your Spark from 60 hp to 90 hp.
The example given by Christoffer is based on a 2015 orange spark. So remember, your model may be different from us. The model number is changed from 61xx to 60xx. (xx = these digits are not changed.)
In my case (Spark 2015 2-up 60 hp), I had to do an
extra step which hasn't been mentioned anywhere on the web. Therefore, I'd like to add this information to this thread in order to help beginners which could encounter the same problem as I did and are not familiar with the software.
After step 4, I had to change the "Security Coding" of the cluster so it matched the ECM if not
Fault Code U0300 (“Exchange security - Wrong ECM”) will be triggered :
Code:
[B]Fault Code U0300[/B]
Incorrect ECM or multifunction gauge for the engine.
Installed part is not appropriate for the vehicle.
Using BUDS, check if the security coding of the cluster
is matched with the ECM security coding.
Engine will crank but will not start.
Refer to PARTS CATALOGS for proper part according to vehicle.
Go to the menu :
Module > ECM > Information
Our modification has
changed a couple things in the ECM…
(These numbers are for Model Year 2015.)
BRP Assembly Number 42066626
3
Rotax Part Number 66626
3
Module Compatibility Identification: 008966626
3
External Compatibility Identification:
0089666268 (*needs to be changed)
As you can see, both External Compatibility Identification and Module Compatibility Identification no longer match. In other words, the Cluster (0089666268) needs to be "married" to the ECM (0089666263) to prevent Fault Code U0300.
Go to the menu :
Module > Cluster > Security Coding...
old value:
0089666268
change to new value :
0089666263
Save it.
Write data.
To check if your cluster is married to the ECM.
Go to the menu : ECM > Information
Module Compatibility Identification: 0089666263
External Compatibility Identification: 0089666263
Clear Previous Occured Faults: U0300.
Now, you can crank the engine and it will start with « Touring mode » appearing on the Cluster. Activate «
Sport mode » and enjoy the ride
