probably the fuel pump relay, under the front hood, I would bet its the fuel pump though, next time it quits turn the key on and off and see if you can here the pump cycle in the gas tank.

yeah they have changed that a while back, they also tryed changin the stator as well and it still keeps doin it, but i was thinkin, every time i do an oil change i didnt realize the crank had a drain plug and have just been draining the reservoir, and then putting oil into it, would that cause something to make it stop running after it gets warmed up and has been workin?

No I have 3000 miles and just drain the oil tank only also. I never did the crank drain and clean the screen thing. I would cause more damage if I did not repime it right was my thinking. LOL

I do pull start the ATV a few times once the oil tank is drained ,it squirts out a extra cup of oil out that way.

ok just thought i would check, hahahaha, just talked to my dealer and told him what it was doing, the ECU isn't on the recall list, he said to try cleaning the gas line vent tube, if it gets warm the fuel take would vapor lock and not let the fumes out

my dealer also mentioned that the fuel tank vent tube could be plugged or pinched off, and when the machine gets warm it would vapor lock the tank and not let the fumes out and have to wait for everything to cool down
