There may not be an "Hour meter" as such on your model.where is the hour meter located on these machines?
Look at BRP parts cat for your model.

When the dealer plugs in their computer it reads the engine hours for service info.
I installed a teleflex hour meter in my Sportster as I try to do all my own work.
My nearest dealer is 12 miles by sea :-)

Your comment "...I try to do all my own work." caught my eye. I do all the maintenance on the three cars I own and want to do the same for my '06 Sportster SCIC. Are there any good owner manals available (a la Bentley manuals for BMW and MINI Coopers)? I just took mine into the dealer in DFW for my initial 10 hour maintenance (after 22 hours of use - Oops - who knew?) and they quoted me $195 for oil, filter, and plugs (plus labor). Methinks I can do it cheaper. Thanx.There may not be an "Hour meter" as such on your model.where is the hour meter located on these machines?

the dealer has to be gouging us for the 10 hour maintenance and i found that all you need is a pump to suck out the oil and you could get the pump, oil and filter for half what the dealer charges which means the shop takes about $100 bucks home.

Agreed. I could not find a repair/maintenance manual anywhere online, but the dealer ordered one for me. Total was about $90 w/ tax - just over 1 hour's labor charge here in DFW.
While I haven't read it yet, I glanced at the oil change section and it seemed so straightforward. I plan on doing as much non-warrantied work myself as I can.

Nothing wrong with doing your own maintenance, just remember to pressure test the final drive grease cone to verify the O rings are in ok....Enjoy your boat!
