Polaris RZR 800 RZR-S RZR-4 2011-2014 Service Manual

UTV Guide's own detailed history confirms exactly how the S trim genuinely earned its "S" — introduced in 2009, it "took the compact original RZR 800 and added a wider stance, substantially more suspension travel, premium FOX shocks and a higher-output engine. While the original RZR measured 50 inches wide for access to width-restricted trails, the RZR S grew to 60.5 inches and targeted riders who wanted better stability and suspension performance in the desert, dunes and rough recreational terrain."

Power across the whole family comes from a 760cc four-stroke liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine, high-output on the S and 4 variants, fed by electronic fuel injection, run through a genuine dual-ratio automatic PVT transmission (P/R/N/L/H) with On-Demand True AWD/2WD via shaft final drive. Chaparral Motorsports' own confirmed spec sheet lists the RZR S's genuine acceleration: 0-35 mph in 3.8 seconds, backed by Polaris's exclusive Optimized Mass Design strategically placing the engine and driveline for the lowest possible center of gravity.

Autoevolution's own confirmed account details real chassis distinctions across the range: the base RZR 800 runs a narrower stance built for trail work with 23 tie-down points in the cargo bed, while the RZR-S steps up to a 77-inch wheelbase, 12 inches of front and rear suspension travel, and 12.5 inches of ground clearance through 2-inch-body, high-pressure monotube shocks. The RZR-4, sharing the S's revised, lower-center-of-gravity chassis, stretches to a genuine four-seat configuration for carrying a full crew.

UTV Guide's own confirmed year-by-year account flags real trim variation worth knowing across this exact span — a 2011 EPS LE launched with Electronic Power Steering and Orange Madness graphics at $12,400, and 2013 brought several distinctive RZR S 800 packages combining FOX Podium X shocks, Maxxis Bighorn tires on Crusher aluminum wheels, and under-hood dry storage. This platform ran alongside the larger-displacement RZR XP 900 before Polaris eventually phased the 800-class engine out of the RZR lineup in later generations.

This factory service manual covers the procedures, torque specs, and diagrams needed to keep a 2011-2014 RZR 800/RZR-S/RZR-4 running the way it was built to.
