If you're in western Canada, I have a black/black 9R 155" Pro if that helps. Velocity's, manual start, standard gauge. Some guys have been pretty happy just swapping for a Khaos limiter strap and pulling the spacer from the FTS with regards to Pro vs. Khaos.
Thanks, pretty far I’m in the Denver area
Reno Cycles and Gear in Reno has a few 9R in both Khaos and RMK as of yday. Saw them on Craigslist
There’s Two 9honey’s in Utah at Steadmans Rec. not sure what length though.
Frickin’ genius if you ask me! Hot chicks on vacation love to have fun!!!
Dealer in post falls idaho posts alot on f.b. He has several but I don’t if it what you want.google will show you lol
Right, well, if you're gonna be picky, you better be patient!

Also, much easier to make a pro into a khaos than an 850 into a 9R...
I'll be the naysayer here.
Hopped on a 163 3" Pro yesterday, coming from a 155 2.75 Pro. At 10k feet
I'd say the difference is about half of what I expected it to be. It revs up to the 7-8 range real fast and almost feels smoother and more linear because of it. Maybe the slower revving 850 makes you notice the pipe's impact on the power curve more? But the difference didn't feel like the same jump from an 800 to an 850, like I'd expected.
I also wonder how much of it is due to the track. I know this forum hates the 2.75 but man it spins so fast. Maybe the difference would be more noticable if the comparison was more apples to apples.
All that being said, I no longer feel the need to sell my 850 for a 9R. When it's time to sell, I'll get the 9R but it's not about to make me upgrade early.

Dragging a boat anchor behind a 2.75" is an upgrade from running a 3". You have to be retarded to buy that track or get horrible advice from a dealer that doesn't snowmobile. You can't even compare those two. And as for disliking the 2.75, it's not the best track but it's not the worst.
It’s the worst for durability and coastal snow performance but you’re spot on about the comparison between the two tracks. The only way to make the 3” work is to trim it. Paddles fold over to easy.
Polaris should be embarrassed about the quality of the 2.75 track. It’s junk. But it’s a good performing track once you get 400 miles inland from the Pacific.
I like that I am missing lots of lugs off my 2.75s. It makes me look like a bad ass and ride over trees. ?
First ride on the 9R Khaos 165 today, started the day with 1.5 miles on the sled. It was a break-in ride and we rode in the trees at the 6000 to 8000 foot elevation. The 9R Khaos works very well in the tight stuff, great throttle response, easy to get on edge, holds a side hill very well and the power delivery is predictable.
Items I will be addressing are the shocks ride way to stiff and sorting out the correct clutch weights as on the few short full throttle busts the 9R jumped to 8,700 instantly, the stock 72 grams weights are too light, will try 76 gram and see.
Finished the day with 73 miles on the sled and 30% fuel. Had a good first day on the 9R it is a definite keeper.

Finally something worth reading thank you ?
Feel free to Start contributing stuff worth reading anytime haha.
OK, here is my question. Seems the masses have gone all in on the 9R Khoas 155. So where does this leave the BOOST? I did ride a 9r and thought it was a great sled, but I already have a well-built 850 NA Matryx Khaos 155. What would be a better compliment for it 9R or Boost. I don't mind riding trees, but I don't spend all day in them. Like to ride in deep, side hilling slopes and climbing to a degree (non-avalanche terrain).
