I have a 2004 700 carb that shut off while riding and then would start up 3-5 minutes later after many nights working on it Ifinally figured it out no help from any dealer. There are 2 circuit breakers under the front rack mine were very rusted, Replaced both never had the problem again. My situation was always only when the lights were on.
Hope this helps

I have the same problem, shutting off while driving. Leave it for a few minutes and it starts again, but could shut off any time. It is more frequent when the lights are on. Any answers????

    I opened the pouches and found one horribly corred/rusted circuit breaker. I put in a automotive bolt on breaker with a terminal repair and my problem is gone.

2004 sportsman 400 4x4 shuts off after running for while. Blow air into the flue tank and will run again.

It appears that you have fuel venting problem or a float level set too high. Check the entire fuel system for kinked / blocked fuel lines/ filters and check the float level or fuel manifold pressure if it has one.
