Vehicle Information
Moto-Ski Futura 500 Snowmobile (1980-1983)
The Moto-Ski Futura 500, produced from 1980 to 1983, was a dependable trail snowmobile. During this period, Moto-Ski models, including the Futura, were essentially orange-colored versions of Ski-Doo designs, following Bombardier's acquisition. It was consistently powered by a reliable 497cc Rotax engine, often referred to as the Rotax 503, a fan-cooled twin-cylinder unit known for its performance in its class. Throughout its 1980-1983 production, the Futura 500 maintained its core engine without significant generation changes or major overhauls. Variations primarily involved trim levels, such as the Futura 500 E (likely electric start) and the Futura 500 L/C (liquid-cooled), offering different configurations rather than a complete redesign. FAQ: Q: How do I find parts for my specific Moto-Ski Futura 500? A: Please use the year and edition selector on this page to ensure compatibility with your snowmobile.
