This exact same thing happened to me....it ended up being the Mass Airflow Sensor. Replaced that and it has not happened since.

SOURCE: 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Engine dies, won't start

It is ignition related,check the ecm for trouble codes,then I would do a complete tune-up and if that doen't fix it then check the crank sensor which is what it sounds like anyway but it's cheaper to do a tune-up first just incase

2005 Polaris Sportsman 700 won't start.

Go back to basics. What EXACTLY does it do when you try to start it? Just spins it is often No spark. 'Coughs' and tries to start is possibly a fuel supply issue.
An engine needs 3 things to run. Air, Fuel, Spark. Did you check for spark on both cylinders?
Have you checked the air filter is clean. You will be surprised at how much a dirty one can affect an engine.
Have you checked for fuel supply at the cylinders. If you can get your head near the plug holes try this. Remove both spark plugs. Crank the engine for 2 seconds then remove the ignition key. Sniff the spark plug hole. Does it smell of fuel? Do the same for the other cylinder. Use the comment button below and I'll see if I can help you more.

While riding my oil filter came loose and i lost about half my oil. The bike stopped running but would turn over just fine. I put oil back in it after tighten up my filter but it still wont start,

Have you checked to see if you are getting spark at the plug? Look in your manual to see if there is a low oil pressure safety shut down switch that has to be reset.
