More than likely the problem you fellas are dealing with is a spark problem, not so much a fuel problem. The stator in the 400's and 500's goes bad once in a while, and it usually happens when riding slow, or idling , or getting warm. What happens is a wire looses connection, and looses contact when it gets warm. It causes the engine to spit sputter, and die. Minutes or hours later it will start up and run fine, but once it gets warm it does the same thing again. Hope this helps!

I found if I pulled on the bundle of wires going into the stator I could make it quit when cold too...Dealer didnt give me any probs replacing it though.
