The engines last forever, but the crankshafts are essentially "on condition" from about 300.

Change the plugs every 25 hours regardless (they're cheap and it's an easy job) and check for carbon on the pistons every 50.

All of this however is in the Rotax manual. Follow the minimum permitted by the manual and you should do well. Don't over-service them.
