If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a tree! Having a blast at 10.5k today!
Well you have the same sled I have ordered and hope to have one day, what's your thoughts? Crazy wheelie monster? Or fun as hell?
I don't think it has too much ski lift. Just let off the throttle a bit and she comes down and doesnt miss a beat. Most fun sled I've ever owned
Any other thoughts? Does it get stuck? I'll be mad if i waited this long and they get stuck.
Does it get stuck??? Does snow fall on trees, pee make it yellow and cause any sled or any expert rider get stuck? Well, last time I was in the gnar, I saw one get stuck, riden by a expert rider. But, crazy thing was…. The snow was all black, craziest thing I’d seen![emoji1787] My XM only gets stuck in white snow, thats a fact[emoji1303]

Hows the lag and heavy front end?
It's just terrible I don't think you will like it. You better not ever ride your wife's or you will be buried to the handlebars. Stay turboless [emoji6]
Exactly what i thought. My buddies 165 boost is possibly be at dealer next week. Said it was at dc this week. Mine was 1/1 to1/31
Yours didn't ship; no other color,right? Mine is also 1/1-1/31. Curious when our "group" will start seeing stuff.
My kaos boost hasn't. The 165 is the one i ordered that i gave to my buddy. Just about to go buy a yamaha for now. Buddy got some extra mountain maxes but having problems getting those shipped.
Well, that's it: I'm never upgrading again! I have an 800/163 now, and it gets stuck (never my fault). If the latest/greatest turbo sled gets stuck too, what's the point? I need a sled I can ride up a mountain while wearing a monocle and smoking jacket and never get stuck!
That would be funny if it wasn’t exactly how you portray any sled that’s newer, nicer, faster than what you currently own.
Unfortunately it’s spot on.
At least I have a sled right now, but I love your insights. So much so, it's time I stop living a lie: think I'll unload the "new" sled and use the proceeds to buy a monocle and smoking jacket.
FS: very cherry Pro. Only ridden in the most dainty of manners. $15,000 OBO. Or trade for a monocle and smoking jacket.
Seriously though, it's crappy that people are still waiting for their sleds, and I honestly hope they're worth every penny. It's pretty clear from my earlier post that I think some riders are going to love the boost, and I'd love to try one out, even if I don't think it's the kind of thing I'd personally sacrifice for. Just different priorities; nothing right or wrong either way.
Just teasing you for years of 600 love. ?
Well, rode one today.
The expectations from reports were unanswered. It ran at 8400-8450 rpm.
The agility of this sled is awesome, second to none. The power lacked the performance of my 2012 800 PRO with 8# of boost at 9,000-10,000’. We had both on the hill today I would say “Apples to Apples”.
The Boost had stumble issues in the 6000 rpm range. Is it clutching or mapping, I don’t know.
It’s flat, it hits a plateau at the upper boost levels.
I’m believing there will be a few Polaris ECU flashes out this year to fix the consumer sleds. Hopefully clutching options.

Murph I apologize for hurting your feelings you sensitive little fella. Today we rode in some pretty deep and everyone had turbos. I was getting up some stuff I would have never thought in 1 try was possible and was making after market turbos with 12 pounds of boost look weak. The sled makes awesome power and will go up anything. The sled rips up hills. It's still a boat anchor and my little skinny arms hurt. I get my 155 NA Tuesday so I'm excited but like I had said I think most people will think the Boost is the greatest thing ever. I don't hate it as much as I used to but I still think guys who have both will be riding the NA over the turbo.
After putting 16 miles on mine today.
You need to do a khaos conversion on your 165 pro rmk boost as soon as possible.
The suspension is setup for maximum ski pressure out of the box. It’s absolutely painful to ride just like you said.
My full set of fox khaos shocks show up Monday.
