I have a 2012 RZR 900XP. I haven't changed the brake fluid...ever (please forgive me, for I have sinned). How much brake fluid do I need to buy for a good flush? I've searched and searched, but cannot find a definitive answer. Thanks in advance.

imo
a good flush would be 2-3x the line volume per corner.... no back flushing :)

bleed till it runs clear. look at the volume and double or 3x that. follow the bleeding in the manual for your rig on which corner to start ect, ect and end

I can't see you needing more than a quart (DOT 4). But, buy two just in case.

They say a quart is what you need for a car, so I guess it's better to get too much than not enough. Polaris brake fluid comes in 12 oz bottles, so sounds like 3 will get me fixed up.

And remember, once it is open it starts to draw moisture in the can and is not recommend to use. Use only a fresh opened can. One quart is a lot of fluid.
Fortunately, I've been told that since I was little. Not sure how I knew that but had no concept of how much I'll need :unsure:

@RWB713 beat me to the punch. Don't buy Polaris brand brake fluid. It's the same s*** you'll find on the Walmart (Autozone, O'Reillys, etc.) shelf.
