Well that depends, if your gonna take care of it or not...
friend has a ski-doo from a 1800s, its got a million miles on it and it still runs like a top.
dad had a 95 summit with over 4000 miles and it, still started on the first pull everytime.
all depends.

They usually last about 1 month longer than the warranty
Last forever or run forever?
I thought all manufacturers made them to last about one month past warranty.
the world is full of uncertanties no one can forsee the future if one could i would have stockpiled on gas and deisel haha, yeah sure theres probably some motors of every brand have lasted forever but doesnt mean they all will ive seen em all blow up but my 900 cats got alot on it its never gone
Are you talking 1983 Citation 4500 or XP.. I think I take the 4500...

Hehe i got a good "rotax" story. Last may a couple of friends went water skipping with an old 91 formula plus and sunk it , so they pulled it out of the water but never drained it. So it sat all winter full of water well ice i guess, so 2 weeks ago we go out there and drain all the water and put some diesel in the motor and let it sit for a bit. Slowly we start to move the clutch back and forth and work the diesel around , drain the diesel put in some oil and same thing , well long story short we got that dam thing going and it was pulling the ski's off the ground lol . We are going to try and finish that old 521 off this weekend.
old motors, yes; new ones I doubt it.
Loaner sled is 1994 583, has about 10,000 miles on it, never been apart, checked the compression last fall, it has lost 1lb. of compression on each cylinder since I bought it new, went from 136# to 135# on each side, always used Injex oil since new. It will still do 100 mph at 6000 ft altitude. As durable as the 583's and 670's were I have my doubts about the series 3 motors lasting as long.

Sawyer, so does that mean yes? haha
haha 
Nice.
Mine have. Oh wait forgot about the 06 800 at 1200. I got an excuse though, It was RK-Tek's fault!!! No harm to kelsey, top aftermarket company IMO. i know that wasn't the true reason, just gives me a good excuse anyway

ask nitroskidude, he's lived 13 lifetimes if they last forever.
I'll get you for that one Sawyer!!
I can't believe this question even came up with out excluding the 07's!! Those things blow left and right!! All I'm gonna say is my motor keeps on running but it's only an 05 so it has yet to get put to the REAL mileage test...
im opinion doo motors are most unreliable motor on the market..i have a few buddies that ride doos and a couple of them have been towed out this season. i think if you get around 4000miles on your doo motor ur doing pretty good. where as the cats will last for ever!
