I don't know what Polaris calls it, whether CDI box or ECU; but my first guess would be that whatever gizmo makes the spark for the plug is dying. It works fine till it gets hot then it shorts out, and once it cools off it works again.

Uncover the engine enough to access the spark plug, start the quad and run it till it quits. Quickly pull the plug, ground it to the frame and check for a spark. You want a BLUE spark. If white or yellow spark is weak-replace part-if no spark, change plug and check for spark again(plug could be bad); if STILL no spark, replace whatever part controls-creates- spark.
