" EVERY one " hey? I own a 2012 pro rmk with over 1200 miles, I've owned older polaris sleds with over 1200 miles. I have two good riding buddies with 2012 pro's with over 1200 miles. They have also owned older polaris sleds with over 1200 miles. We have been riding together for years and none of us yet to blow a motor. Of course we sell before the miles load up too much while usually upgrading every two years.. Do your research before you say nonsense.
I was talking to someone the other day that has a PRO RMK as do his riding buddies, all been riding for many years in extreme mountain conditions. He tells me that the RMKs come out of the factory with the oil setting too lean in order to meet emission standards. He lost a motor before realizing this, was about 1500 miles on it. His buddy had the same issue. Now they adjust the oil setting to get more oil into the motor and seems to be working better. I do believe the Pro motors are definitely better than the IQ motors, but have to watch that oil setting. If I were buying a sled based on the motor, I'd definitely be buying a ski doo XM, but I'm no expert.

They come with a tag right in the gas lid explaining exactly how to do it. Yes it will be tricky if to stubborn to pay attention to directions
