I’ve a 2013 800s. I love it for what I do. Where I go is pretty much rock crawling and it does great.
Good info. Not ready to throw 30k on new turbo unit. Till then thanks for the info.
hahaha rolling the dice man love that ive been doing maintanance on my 2010 800s and now im scared this could happen to me but its looking like a tough job! right now im getting a whining sound at certain rpms kinda like a gear whine or somthing in the clutch im not sure but its pretty annoying an loud i replaced the belt didnt help it does yours have a whine during accelerating or driving?
Right after I bought my 2011 800s in 2016 but before it blew up (ahem), I took my RZR out to the gentleman in Winnemucca, NV and he got me into the "tight nut club". He didn't charge me anything (GASP!) but I left a hefty 'donation'. And as I mentioned in the comment section on your other video on why to buy 800's, I now have a 2018 800s engine in my 2011. It has all the power I need. When we used to have ATV's, I always said if you could do 60 mph, you were on the wrong road . . . Just sayin'.

My 14' 4 800 with 2k miles rear diff pinion nut was about 3 threads from coming off. Thankfully, I saw someone mentioned it in the comments for your previous video. Took the diff out myself in about an hour and took it to a local offroad shop where they used red loctite and gave it 3 ugga duggas.

Good morning, I have a 2011 rzr 4 800. I have a chirping noise in the belt area when slowing down. Have changed ujoints, carrier bearing and belt but still have the chirping noise. I just noticed that the rear end is out of alignment, the left tire is about 2" closer to the front than the right tire. To me that explains the chirping noise, alignment problem at tranny. Is there any way to adjust this alignment? Thanks
I think I definitely would have covered the dowel pin in the motor as a motor problem point too, if they get stuck your motor looses oil pressure, best way to avoid it is when doing a fluid change take it out with a magnet polish it yourself or take it to a jeweler and have them do it for like 5-10$! Totally worth doing.
Love my 800s

I had problems with my rear diff. Something let go and it made a big hole through the differential so hard to buy a new one. I have the 2014 rzr 800 s le and had 7500 km on it

I've seen several of them grenade like that, and it's the pinion nut issue described in the video that causes it. The nut backs off, the pinion rides up on the ring gear more often than not busting the shaft just in front of the gear itself and then hits the case and busts out the side of it. Polaris never has admitted to the issue, never did a recal and never made an official repair. If you get a new differential it will have the same issue so due the DIY repair on it yourself prior to installation. Most dealers won't admit to knowing what you're talking about so get online and track down a set of tools to borrow or make your own if you have the skillset. There is also a Facebook group on the problem where you can buy the tools or potentially borrow them.

Keep in mind when using a K&N filter you MUST spray the oil on it. This will keep the dust out.

You have to run a pre filter on a KN. And sorry your wrong. Polaris actually put out an article that the air intake boots were leaking …. And how to fix. Which was silicone. Yes I have all this paperwork from Polaris. Aftermarket air filters are fine … Polaris filters are junk. A uni good r something similar is fine
