He probably drunk at the game right now so we can make fun of him and his best sled ever made until next year

Owners manual?! Communist propaganda is all that is... As for cans: yeah, choose carefully. I have it on good authority that most claimed gains in power, assuming there's anything to legitimately claim, are only there at sea level, and often turn to losses at elevation. The stock can is pretty well optimized for the targeted elevation; there might be a little to gain in some circumstances (like sea level, or nosebleed elevation), but I doubt it'll ever be more than a couple HP. That leaves weight as the only thing to really gain (or lose, as the case may be).
Yeah, I'm not saying it's a bad motor, and it may be that top end life is just as good as the 800 HO (for '20 and later, at least). I feel like the HO has a more bulletproof bottom end though: I see more crankcase carnage in the 850 subforum. Of course, lucky Pro owners get it on both ends... Polaris went back to Fuji for cranks in '13 after all the failures on the Pro; that continued with the HO, but ended with the 850. Anyway, I'd be pleasantly surprised if the 9R lasts as long, on average, as the 850 or HO. Actually, more like shocked: there's no way you remove rotating mass, add bigger pistons, and get the same life. Hopefully it's at least predictable and gives some warning, and it'll be something like 2000 miles of life vs. 3000. That's probably an acceptable compromise for many. For me, I'm not too interested unless it it can equal the 850, especially having just had an unexpected "boom."

9r rips. Rode very little because i was playing with my daughter's neo. Would have a tough time riding a turbo over 9r most of the time. Definitely feels lighter and really quick out of the hole. Had kind of a tingling vibration on throttle that i didn’t like. My buddy thought the bars had a vibration like my 13 pro but i didn't notice that. My 13 pro would literally put your hand to sleep. Played at probably 93 to 9500 feet. All it would pull was 8050. Switched to non ethanol and it would pull 8100. Racing my buddy's boost it held its own for a 1/3 of the hill. Raced on flat and pretty even for 1/3 to 1/2 of race. 9r in th trees any day of the week for me. If it was more open like revelstoke i might choose different. Not choosing any because I'll have both.
Also 9r isn't half as fun as the mountain max.

You should have posted this under your own thread. "Non expert review" You know we are all just waiting for your wife's review anyway. That's all that really matters.
Terry was taking one for the team and padding your expert thread post count. Everyone knows how much that means to you and your ego.
For what?!
Relax, it was a joke because that is what im stuck riding because my sled isn't in. Bought last year so i had something to ride while waiting on boost to come in. Only thing anyone had
Chadly can ride
Sounds like credit should have been given to Pulsifer and not you……. ?
It’s Snowest. Everything is a joke
Good idea with the hose clamps! I might have to throw some in my kit just in case. I doo ride with some Polaris owners! ?
Great idea high voltage, those fags you ride with often need help....lots of it?
You guys ride together?
At times.
I still use the cover from my 04 Edge. Fits the Alpha and Khaos. Lol
