The meaning varies.
In EMS the S was "Special", in 900 GLs s was "super" (two carbs)
In Europe late 80s Classic 900 S was equipped with low pressure turbo. 145hp (DIN), no APC or IC. Then there was also 900c (100 hp, carburetor) 900i (118hp, injection) and 900 turbo (175 hp, always 16v), so S might be "Sport"
Early 80's 900 T16S meant 16 valve engine with IC and APC, 175 hp (DIN)
Same engine as Aero or SPG. In this case S meant "Super".
New generation 900 S at early 90's had no turbo at all. S="Standard".
So the meaning of "S" varies during years and models.
