Bike shuts off

I have a 2007 DRZ 400S (Suzuki). At 1200 miles while riding the bike shut off. Good fuel...etc. Had 600 mile tuneup done by dealer. 50 miles later going about 65 mph ...bike shuts off. Restarts easily without choke, rode home. Next day bike hard to start. Started...went one half mile...bike shut off. I pushed it home. Took to dealer..they replaced the stator. At around 2000 miles on the dream machine the bike shuts off. Starts... runs around 70 miles ...shuts off again. Taken to dealer...dealer replaces CDI unit. Dealer says they did a complete electrical exam. Bike good to go. At around 3100 miles on the Suzuki on the freeway going 70 miles per hour...bike shuts off. Taken to dealer...I called Suzuki and sent them a certified letter explaning my situation. I mentioned possible lemon lawsuit. Dealer tried starting it while writing up work order..didnt start. One week later dealer called said bike runs great...no issues found. Said bike purrs like kitten. any comments on what could have caused my DRZ400S to shut itself off? I have a funny feeling santa elves ...maybe fixed my bike again. Iam also sure unless they finally found a solution it will fail again. Bike is 100% stock and I start it everyday and it sleeps inside at night. Never ever needed the choke to start. Never been off road. Never laid it down (knock on wood) I use different fuel stations all the time. I use 92 octane fuel. Now that I have it back it doesnt fire up as efficient as it did when it was running. Any comments. Maybe a ground fault somewhere but wait the dealer said they went over the electrical %100
