2001 Recon dying

2001 250 Recon randomly shuts off but will immediately fire back up . Any thoughts

You need to tell us more..  That's what I think. Like, is it warm or cold, idling or with the throttle open, has it had any work done to it, has it had a tune ever..  I could be guessing forever why an engine might "randomly" shut off.

My guess is, that, because there is very little in this universe that is completely random, that there will be clues which you are not telling us, that will explain the random and reveal it to be in fact some degree of chaos, not random..  haha.. Well you did ask for thoughts.. Any thoughts.

Maybe loosing spark check for loose connections.

battery COM (-) connections are worth checking.  Do the panel lights go off when it shuts down?  If so that's a clue.  Lack of fuel (plugged fuel filter) would manifest itself by motor not increasing with throttle up. 

Sounds electrical.. The 'wiggle test' is a good check of poor connections.  If when the motor is running wiggle / tug and pull (lightly) on everything to see if you cn cause a failure.

Definitely need more info, is it shutting off instantly? Is it studdering befor shutting off? Does it idle at all, does it shut off when giving it throttle? Does it start up and die right away or run for a bit and die. More info will be extremely helpful in order to be able to help you better.
