If it is sputtering as you say it more than likely is a fuel problem. Swap out the filter. Hope that works.

If it just stopped without sputtering I would say it was electrical just fyi.

Ignition coil, maybe? Also, check for loose electrical connections.

Ride safe,

If you don't solve the problem, repost your question down in the EVO Classic section. Those guys down there will help too.
