A choked up air filter might cause shut downs. the service centers have fixed kms after which they change the air filter, before that, they clean the filter with pressurized air and fit it back. But if you live in particularly dust place the life of the air filter will reduce significantly and you will have to replace it early. open it up and check its condition, then decide.
The next up would be air to fuel ratio, most of the time, if you complain that the scoot is not giving mileage, the service center guys make the ratio a bit lean to which might be the reason of engine shut down.
The most unlikely reason might be spark plug gone bad. It is highly unlikely, because the spark plugs fitted from factory are such good quality that they easily last 50 thousand kms without any problems, but if nothing works out, open the spark plug and check its condition, it might have gone bad, due to wrong air fuel mixture.
And last but not the least, make sure that you turn off the choke after warming up the engine, riding with choke on will give you same problem and will use more fuel.
