Default 2013 Polaris sportsman 500ho randomly dies at idle

I have a 2013 sportsman 500ho with 500 miles on it. It runs great most of the time. It will idle at 1300-1400 rpm then randomly die. It will start back up fine then do it again.... Lots f power running down the trail but sometimes dies idling down steep terrain. Any ideas of where to look would be much appreciated
