Do Ski Doo motors last forever?

[longhairfreak]

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!

Hey FATTY imagine that!

 

[christian]

I just passed a 1000 miles on mine now nobody want to ride with me????????

 

[longhairfreak]

Things arent looking good are they FATTY?

 

[POW]

not sure about forever, but in my case they've been the most reliable motors i've ever owned. All we do is summerize, and clean carbs and valves regularly, and the normal upkeep.

2000 MXZ 600 - 5100 Miles

2002 MXZ 600 - 4500+ miles

04 800 X - 7400 Miles (All on 2 belts!!!!!!)

07 SummitX 800r - 2900 Miles

08 SummitXP - 180 Miles. (Just got it end of March)

None of them have seen a skidoo shop. Amsoil used. Maybe i'm lucky.

My 98 670 lasted till 700 miles,1800 miles 2350 and I sold it.Then,my 04 made it to 1300 miles,fixed and sold,07 (yes I got stuck with one)vibrated to 850 miles and I was freakin,a nice guy come along and bought it!!!I was only towed out 7 tmes by Yammy's and once by a 206 bell!!!

I guess you could put a 4 cylinder diesel in a sled and it would probably last forever but it would outweigh everything out there by a lot and would probably bury itself 200 ft up the hill in the "Deep Powder Challenge"---Oh wait someone already did that. LMAO ! Oh that's right I forgot that contest was rigged.

well i hate to be a loyalist here because i really am not, i just buy what i think is the best out at the time, i've towed COUNTLESS amounts of arctic cats back to the trailer, including my own. some new, some old. arctic cat makes a fun as hell sled to ride, they just seem to break down WAY more than other sleds i've purchased, and i don't even want to go into oil and gas consumption. so i stick to skidoo. ROTAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!4now. (or until somebody builds a light weight four stroke). hehe. ( come on yamaha break the 480 barrier)

07 800R, 3600KM engine has blown twice.....
My friends 07 800R went boom a couple weeks ago
Another guy I know has had his go 3 or 4 times in 2 years....

I don't think they last forever....

My 2001 mountain max on the other hand... now that thing goes forever...

 

[onlyrotax]

almost convinced

Heck, You guys almost had me convinced that Yammy motors lasted forever until I read the thread titled "Powerless" in this section, check it out.

My wife has a 1987 Yamaha 570lc Exciter with 11,000 miles on it. It's now her [rock sled] but still runs great. I bought it new in fall of 86.
