Talk about a horrendous oil filter location design.

Nice job, they don't call them stealerships for nothing, I bought a new truck a few years ago ran across a video on the tube where stealerships would do things to your vehicle to cause you to have to come back for warranty issues, I ran across it again on a forum where folks went in for their free oil change something would go wrong that wasn't a problem before, so they can charge the company warranty charges, free oil changes and inspection are a Stealership Scam. I've always changed my on oil have not had a problem one with this truck like these other folks, I stay away from the dealer free scam crap.

Thank you so much. This is GREAT. I’ve been living with an intermittently bad starter on a 2015 Pro FXT for a couple of years now, postponing its replacement due to dealership costs. Then 2 days ago, my belt finally went. Watching your video shows that this job is far less technical than the quoted labor costs insinuate. The shop quoted $300 labor for the belt, and $800 labor for the starter. $1100 labor total, not including parts. And no, they weren’t willing to combine labor, even though the belt is part of the starter procedure.

Well done. Thank you. Book marked so that I can come back each year to make sure all my annual maintenance is done correctly.

Very good video MCE makes a remote engine oil filter what are your thoughts on those Thanks

Best service video I have ever seen! Great job and thanks for the clear explanation along with all the spec’s on oil type and torque.

This was a great video for anyone one who has done a diy break job can you say head ache, this makes it simple. thanks

Good info new sub

Trans dipstick I’m going to check mine and see where the level is at both screwed in and not from factory

Heck of a good job on the video. Thank you!

I do not envy you on this repair, good catch on the lose bolt and I've never figured out why some people take good care of their equipment, and others are just abusive animals, but I guess that's what pay's your bills. I also made a comment in your earlier video on changing the oil in this type vehicle about using the wrong drain plug. now that this one is disassembled if you would look at 16:46 on the counter at the crankshaft, then go down about 4" at 5 o'clock you can see the other drain plug I was talking about that's a lot easier to get to and less likely to damage it because it's metal where as the other one is plastic.

Just saying, That's not the drain plug you should be using because it's plastic and very hard to get to. The suggested drain plug in on the passenger side at the same level as this one, it's a 9/16' metal plug per the service manual. It's a lot easier to get to! Good luck

sometimes you can get a whole used engine for cheaper try doing canams they make more parts that work for multiple machines versus one machine

Very well done. Thank you.

Amazing video and very informative. I almost never comment but this video with specs and part numbers with the tutorial is absolutely great for all of the maintenance covered.

Invaluable. Thing of buying a Kubota RTV 900, armed with is video I will feel safe in the knowledge I will be doing things correctly. Again, thanks a MILLION!!!

Just discovered the same problem with a 2021 4000 I just got. Seems like a reoccuring problem

one of the best videos out there!

Great video.. very helpful. I have a 2004 RTV900 and it has a Yellow HHK70-14070 and Orange HHK72-14080 Transmission / Hydraulic filters. I've read that one is used in suction and the other in pressure but your using the same Napa 400013 filter for both. Any reason to use OEM filters over 3rd party? Wix shows two filters as well (WL10013 and 51367) but no description on their use difference

Yessir thank you so much for this! I bought a 2024 Can Am Defender XMR and when they sold it to me I went ahead and paid another $1800 for a “24 Month Extended Service” and “36 month priority maintenance” and I called the dealer last week and they are telling me that the service isn’t free. I may seem stupid but I know when I bought the rig, they upsold this maintenance package telling me that the first 8 services were included for free, I called them and they quoted me over $700 for the service. Long story short I asked them to send me a breakdown of what the $1700 package (by line item) I bought and paid extra for even includes, everyone there seems to play dumb w me like they don’t know what I’m requesting to see. So I’m here trying to find out what all I would need to change if I have to end up servicing it myself. This is the first service at 300 miles (not heavy use) Has anyone here ever heard of this? What exactly did they sell me?

Excellent video

Super helpful and detailed, thank you!

Great instructions! I think I can service my RTV.

You have always done a great job working with the 4010 Mule. Have you ever dealt with overheating of the 4010 Mule.? My brother in Law has a 2010 Kawasaki 4010 4x4 mule. Runs good but we have tried everything except replacing the water pump.Thanks for your videos

Purchasing a limited four seater defender at this end of this month. The knowledge transfer from this video is much appreciated. Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to make a video of all the big ticket service items. This makes servicing the machine a lot less daunting.

Best video on a SXS I’ve seen in a while! The only thing missing is the Increased Interval of Inspection depending on all the Mods/Upgrades that 90% or more of the owners add before the first 50 miles and it’s the types that affect the most. These owners are going with lifts for clearance but mainly so they can add 32-35” tires that immediately impact HP and wear on the rotating & pivoting points and especially brakes! Then adding full sound systems and all the cool cargo racks and LED’s etc… With all the extra weight that would likely change vital fluid intervals plus add extra draw to the stock battery so they add a second battery (weight) and this isn’t even considering the size of the driver or all the stuff they throw in the back of the bed. Then we see them on all the platforms bashing their brand because of this or that and in the end it’s all because of them. Haha I’ve been wanting to put something like this together for a while but I’m glad you knocked it out so well. I do think that another video might be beneficial for people to know how all these mods & upgrades affect the baseline maintenance that you created here. Again, great video!

Definitely rare wow that’s awesome

Have a mule pro Mx with the same torn boot. What replacement was it that you used?

very good demo

Brilliant video thank you! Very informative. I was looking for oil and water check points, problem solved and some education! 🙂

Hey that was a great video! Thanks for doing the research. The Anybrand units are an imported knockoff of an invention from an American company. They call it the "Spring Brake Thingy". I think I'll get imine from them even though it is a lot more costly. It just bugs me to see overseas companies steal an idea and undercut the price!

Nice video! Best rtv900 service video I’ve seen so far.

thanks for the review

I grew up on the South Island of New Zealand in the 80’s, my neighbour Mr Lambert had one just like this, absolute tank of a thing, he worked for the forestry commission I think, but his FJ45 literally spent none of its working life on tarmac roads. Gravel and forest tracks mainly. It was still at work until about 2011 according to Google street view. Testament to the durability of these old things!

Best service video I’ve seen in a long time!! Thank you for taking the time to do it. Now I have all the information and confidence to do mine myself.

Great job Jake and Bill.

Love all the different camera angles! Interesting to see the different vehicle parts in action

Thank you for taking the time to film such a detailed instructional video! Awesome video! You’ve saved me a ton of money!!

Where u get the tool to pop the clutch off?

That's how you access the drive shaft?! Seem like they would use something other than rivets. That sucks lol. I need to check mine

I think your running a bit rich there bud. Mr. Banks wouldn’t be the happiest. Great video

good informative video, Thank You

I also have an RTV 900 XT. It soon became difficult to get it in to reverse. Now it's impossible to get it into reverse. If you manage to get it engaged it feels like forward low. The low gear is now also becoming difficult to engage.

56 is mine un able to resolve this

WOW!!! One of the best maintenance training videos I've seen. Thank you much LazyD.

Thanks for the video. Will be servicing mine soon using your guidance

Very helpful Thank You Sir

Thank you for this video!

Mine has what looks like a choke cable knob on the dash. It must be pulled out to shift the transmission. I believe it some sort of a bypass that releases hydraulic pressure.

Spot on. Gets stuck on an incline and then has to be fixed… seems like a common issue with these. Thanks for the video!
