The roll over sensor is in the front under the hood. Mine kept messing up and cutting the quad off completely...caused a bad hospital visit and lots of stitches. If your sensor is messing up, try getting a tip-over switch eliminator from KMS Performance or pack di-electric grease in your existing one. Be careful taking it apart though and mind how it goes together. In order to check the switch you can take it off (still plugged in) and roll it around a bit in order to make sure it's working properly. KMS's look cheep, but haven't had any problems since I bought mine from them. Also, check your battery terminal tightness. I had a bad cut-out problem for a while and went through every connector, relay, and switch on the quad, and then realized the morons at the dealership didn't tighten my positive battery contact fully and it was shorting itself.

defiantly check the roll over sensor. check all connections. Pack di electrical grease every connection anyways. Since a bit of water in these screw it up. If you have a pc3 ditch the wire tap and splice them together and shrinkwrap it. make sure your air intake isent dirty nor clogged. Hope you figure it out. I had the same problem and it was just a bad ground. so check those.

Mine will cut out on me while I am riding a wheelie. It doesnt die but it will sputter a bit.

well if your gas is below your pump when your doing a wheelie it will cut out, if it does that fill your tank up then do it again if it still does it, its either the roll over switch or something else, and i had the same problem with my roll over switch and all i did was zipp tie it fast and havent had a single problem
