Watch our Polaris RZR 900 Engine Rebuild Part 1 video above and follow the steps below to remove the RZR’s seats and drain its fluids. Use our Polaris RZR 900 exploded parts diagrams for additional reference.

Preparing the Polaris RZR 900XP for Engine Removal
Step 1. Remove the seats by releasing the lever behind them and lifting them out.
Step 2. Disconnect the battery.
NOTE: You can remove the battery or leave it in the chassis.
Step 3. Drain the engine oil by removing the drain bolt from the bottom of the engine.
Step 4. Drain the radiator by removing the lower hose from the bottom of the radiator. Reattach the hose once the radiator has drained and you’re done.
The next stage in our Polaris RZR 900 engine rebuild project is to remove the roll cage and the cargo bed from the machine. Watch the video below to see how to remove the roll cage and cargo bed on a Polaris RZR 900XP.
