It sure feels like it's lighter. I think the 9R has the lightest of light stickers. What does your wife think?

Best mod, hands down, is gear down. Always reliable and it just plain works. Clutch kit, schmutch kit

I have this same code. It is intermittent. Curious to see what resolved it. Sled runs fine, so I haven't brought it in yet.
No clue who you are referring to here but I'm bored so... Define rich. And I don't think you have to be smart to be "rich".
Don't be so hard on yourself

you ride with all the big boy you- tubers, why do they all ride them? Is it just an obligation? Who’s the best skidoo ambassador? Lol. Where you headed next to clinic?
Because they are young and are in tip top shape. Me, not so much

But somehow, you’re still a 3%er. Did you hit the genetic lottery?

Same clutch and same gearing on a 9R, yet 9R seems so much more responsive. You are right its definitely not turbo lag. It's the Boost sticker on the side panel, it weighs more than the 9R sticker effecting the bottom end on the sled.Why do so many people pretend to be smarter than everyone on the internet?
Don’t forget about the lighter flywheel and crank.
That's the real reason the 9R is more responsive. Would love to have the 9R crank and flywheel in the boost.
The bar isn't very high to get to that 3%...
I’ve done it all to a Gen 4 and Gen 5. Spindles, skis, socks. It’s makes a nice improvement on the skidoos but in tech terrain still no comparison to a stock matryx. The harder you push into tech terrain the bigger the gap.
Yes you do think your smarter because you are the expert but the 9R has the same clutch but not same motor and not same clutching. The 9R has gobs of torque but it too is starting out in a higher gear. On my 24 boost my waste gate cable fell out and I was riding without boost. Guess what? My boost did not have the same bottom end as my geared down 23 NA 850. Do you think I can blame that on turbo lag?Same clutch and same gearing on a 9R, yet 9R seems so much more responsive.

If you think a Boost with stuck waste gate should have the same bottom end as a NA 850 you are way smarter than me. You win the internet.
You read it that way? I said it did not have the same bottom end and I knew it wouldn't. Tell me why it does not have the same bottom end as a NA? List the 3 main reasons please.

So what the hell are we arguing about right now? We all agree the Polaris is outgunned on the low end but we're arguing about if its clutching or the powerplant?
Can we make it a requirement that you have to state what altitude you ride at before you comment on NA vs FI? A 9R vs a Boost at Sea Level is a completely different comparison than at 10-12k feet.

I'm bored so I'll bite.
1. Polaris is always bogging. Takes a lot to make a doo bog.
2. Clutch bolt is broken. Clutch isn't attached.
3. Chadly told me so.
Wrong, but thanks for the answer as it made me laugh.
