Unhappy engine stalls 2008 TRV going downhill

Ever since I bought my 2008 TRV the engine stalls when going down steep hill and leaning to the right, I have to level the cycle to re-start. My dealer, Bass Pro has replaced the carburetor twice and I still have the same problem and I am out of warranty. The bike only has a little over 100 hours because it is kept at a second home in the mountains but my neighbor starts it and runs it every other week. I have no problem going down hill and leaning to the left only stalls when leaning to the right.
Anyone has this problem or knows what to do.

If it was a 700 i had an idea but since its not,I cant help. sorry.
The only idea i can think of is your gas level is too low and what you do have in it leans away from the carb. side, in result, stalls due to no gas. Ever try the steep hills with a full gas tank? There cant be any other explanation,other than the float may get stuck.

It does the same thing with a full tank, I thought about the float getting stuck but three carburetors later (the origina plus th dealer changed twice) lI cannot believe the float gets stuck on all of them unless it is a design defect.

Do you or anyone have an e-mail address for Arctic Cat Customer Service or a phone number? I left all the paperwork in TN and I could not find it on their website

you say it does it leaning to the right, do you mean turning to the right or literaly leaning to the right? I was thinking that maybe when turning to the right it could be pulling the choke cable if it has one

Question

the choke is automatic and they have also changed once, it is steep downhill leaning to the right, same angle leaning to left it does not do it
