Did you hear any noises when it stalled? What does it sound like when you hit the starter to restart it?

if it was a blown fuse the nutral light would have came on. i think it might be the carb. but i baught a new boot and a plug so i have to try it out.

Were you at full throttle or just putting around when it happened?

Also, try removing your air filter and starting it. If it starts, your air filter needs cleaned.

I actually had the same thing happen to me a few days ago. I was on my 400ex with the 100% stock motor. I was climbing a hill at the sand pit in second gear full throttle, but not red lined or anything. It went good, so I did it again, then about 1/3 of the way up it just quit. Exacly the same way as him. I haven't had any time to try to get it going again, but I'm thinking its probuably the spark plug. What do you guys think?

I went and worked on my quad and found out it wasn't my quad. I think it is the sand in the carb that got in their due to my brother not tightening my filter enough and it falling off. So I have to go take it apart and hopefully get it going. GRRR. I'm pretty upset about it.
