In my experience if you use but do not abuse a good Rotax 2 stroke engine (buy new) on a regular basis they will operate exceedingly reliably.
Let the engine warm up before giving it steam.
Check all your rubber hoses and boots for dry rot or cracking,
Keep an eye on the simple stuff like plugs and cables.
set prop pitch to the correct EGT ranges
check bolts for loosening occasionally
Use the exact oil and fluids needed, don't cheap out and substitute.
start and use the engine preferably once a week
Stay away from the cold (always good advice) your 2 stroke will reward you with a very long trouble free lifestyle at a good power to weight to price ratio.
The TBO times are there as well as the maintenance schedule, but I agree with Fara on this one, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
