I'm guessing possible fuel starvation. Does the engine slowly die if left to idle ( at the time the issue is occurring), or does it quickly shut off (like hitting the kill switch) ? It would be hard to tell how its "shutting off " while riding, let it idle until it shuts off if you already aren't doing so. Check for a pinched fuel hose or fuel pump power not plugged in, and also fuel flow from the tank itself ( if it slowly dies while idling). A sudden shut off would be an electrical issue, the bike would act drastically different between an electrical shut off vs. an engine running out of fuel, at an idle speed it should be obvious whether its electrical or fuel related.
