My dad has 2 Yamahas up at the cabin. We use them HARD when we are there, then they sit for months. The only issues have been when my brother or cousin rolled them off a cliff. I think we had an issue with a tire once too.
We come up in the dead of winter, uncover them, and it takes one or two pushes to get them to fire. Takes a bit of special attention to keep them fired until they warm up that first time, then we run them day and night until we leave.
I'm guessing about 12 years on the clock at this point.
One is 2wheel drive, and I think it's a 400cc. The other is 4x, and I think around 550. Power is never an issue, we can have 2 people on the little one, in the snow, pulling the sled with at least one person on it back to the top of the hill. In packed snow, the 2x is WAY more fun to kick out the back end and "drift" around corners, or even just straight down the road.
