Idle problem with 500 EFI 2x only when hot???

I have a brand new Sportsman 500 EFI 2x and having trouble with it.
After it gets hot (driving it for an hour), it does not idle well. When I come to a stop to switch gears, it will die. Then it is difficult to start. Some times I turn the key and nothing happens (starter does not engage). Sometimes it will start but is difficult. Sometimes I have to give it a little gas while I start... but this also will cause it to backfire.
My only solution when it is like this is to let it sit for about 3 to10 minutes and then it will start up.
I have no complaints about the machine when it is runs for 30 minutes or less.
I took it back to the dealer and they could not repeat the problem. I dont think they took the time to run it for an hour before they tested it. They said they made some adjustment and that would probably fix it.
They were wrong.
Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do?
