Default valve adjustment

I wanna get the valves on my 500efi done they have never been done before. Would getting the valves adjusted solve another problem I have. When it gets warmed up and after some slow speed riding it seems to sputter and shut off and then you have to wait for a long time before it will start again0what would be causing this? Hoping the valve adjustment solves it

when it dies and comes to a no start. check to see if it is getting a spark or getting fuel. valve adjustment unlikely

Your service manual will explain how you can check them, or you will have to take it to a dealer.

Default 500

when it dies check fuel pressure and or spark there is a relay that can go bad and cause this to happen.had a fellow bring in 5oo efi about 2 months ago with same problem.once machine got hot relay quit and it lost fuel pump and spark but would crank fine.
