Default Intermittant Stall...

I have a 2007 Foreman 500, that upon stopping from a decel, wants to die intermittantly. It has died a few times, but usually stays running. It doesn't always do it either. It is fairly new, maybe 40 hrs on it? I have done the first oil change and valve adjustment to it. Has anyone seen a problem like this? I bumped the idle up slightly(seemed a little low and the idle tended to roll while sitting). It seems to have smoothed out now and hadn't stalled the last time I took it out(after raising the idle). It's getting colder in MN here now so I'm thinking the idle was just set to low for the temp outside. Thanx for any suggestions!!

I also dumped some Sea-Foam in the tank at the last fill up to see if maybe because it's sat for the last month if something started getting gummed up.

Check the jetting, you may be a little lean for where you ride (altitude).
