Always allow the engine to cool completely before performing this procedure. To inspect and replace the spark plugs on your RZR XP, follow these steps.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface in a well-ventilated area, and ensure the transmission is in PARK.

3. Lift the cargo box up and remove from the vehicle.
4. Remove the two fasteners holding the plug shield in place with an 8mm socket.
5. Remove the two plug covers.
6. Before continuing, blow any dirt or debris out of the spark plug wells with compressed air to prevent anything from falling into the cylinders.
7. Carefully loosen the spark plugs with a 5/8-inch spark plug socket and remove from the vehicle. Note: If reusing, take note of the cylinders they were installed in for reinstallation.
