I literally had the same exact problem yesterday and last year. Perfect from start up to about 2 hours in...then sounds like it's bogging down, then dies at a trail stop. Fired right back up in about 2 minutes. Also it happened on a lake burn..wanted to die, so I feathered the throttle, came right back to life just as strong as it should be. It has me stumped. If you figure it out, let me know and I'll do the same. Mine is an 03 Edge 800 XC SP.

same happened to me and my 03. it was the gas line INSIDE the tank that ripped off the spout, and was deteriorating. little pieces of the loose line were clogging the carbs. pull the line from the tank, drain and rinse the tank, put fresh in-line filter on outside the tank. mine is behind the air-box. this should take care of it. It took me 4 trips to 2 different dealers, and $800 for them to figure this out.
