One thing you want to do is check inside the throttle housing to make sure there is at least 1/16th of an inch gap. If they are making contact the quad will stall. Had this problem on an ATP 500 my son previously owned. Not an EFI but they still use the same throttle housing.

Check your battery cables. Mine was stumbling and stalling, ended up being a loose - cable

Probably not your problem but just for routine, try adding seafoam to your gas. Helps stabilize gas, and keep fuel system clean. I use it on nearly everything. Good stuff!

I had a similar problem on my 07 500 EFI with random stalling and rough running (almost like a limp mode) and turned out to be a MAP sensor.
