Default Help guys 850 quit running

hey guys, I was out riding today down a smooth trail and my atv just quit. I pulled over and let it sit for a while. I swapped out all the relay that work the fuel injection, chassis relay etc. and checked all the fuses and it still wouldn't start. Cranks but won't start. temps were high today but atv didn't overheat. Well after letting it sit and cool it started right up. I drove a little ways and it died again. I think it's something with the fuel pump but i'm not sure. Anyone had to deal with this?? warranty is up but there is only 34hrs on the machine.

did you figure it out? How much fuel is in the tank? How long would you ride before it died? Fuel pumps usually cause it to sputter some before completely dying, but it is possible.

I think it is the coil but I'm not sure. I heated up the coil with a hair dryer and it wouldn't start. Got one ordered, hope it works. I really wish polaris would drop the 6 month thing and go with an hour or mile warranty. this thing has 34 hours on it.
