Default need help with 06 Polaris 500 Sportsman

Hi, I'm a newbie that needs help with a Polaris 500 Sportsman. It runs great for awhile then just shuts off. After it sits for a short while it will start again and run for awhile longer. It seems like it gets hot and shuts down but the mechanics at the shop disagrees....they say it would just burn up, not shut down. Anyone have any idea what might cause this problem?
