Honda trx 300 4x4 1997

I have a hond fourtrax 300 trx from 1997. I bought it used. It runs great for a while, then heats up and dies. Sits for a while and I can start it again, has a dead battery but i dont think that is the issue. Could the oil not being changed for a while heat it up and cause it to die? The oil looks clean. It has sat for a whild but Ive drained the tank and put fresh fuel and stableizer in the fuel. Any comments or advise would be appreciated! Thanks
