Vehicle Information
Ski-Doo Cheyenne 503 Snowmobile (1987-1991)
The Ski-Doo Cheyenne 503, produced from 1987 to 1991, was a popular snowmobile model often positioned within the broader Safari line. It consistently featured a reliable 496cc/497cc fan-cooled twin-cylinder Rotax engine. This engine, similar to the Rotax 503 aircraft engine, provided approximately 37 kW (50 hp) at 6800 rpm, ensuring robust performance for its class. The sources indicate no significant mid-cycle generation changes or major engine overhauls for the Cheyenne 503 during this period. The 'R' designation, as seen in 'Safari Cheyenne R', likely denoted a specific trim level or package rather than a fundamental generational shift. The core engine and platform remained consistent from 1987 to 1991. FAQ:
