Check the battery voltage at idle & also revved up to 3k or so RPM. It should be over 13v minimum at idle and 14-14.5 revved up a bit. It sounds like your stator and/or voltage regulator are failing and the voltage is dropping at idle. When it drops too far the ignition system doesn't work properly or shuts off altogether.

There are other possible causes also such as a carb issue, but this is the easiest to check and a common problem on the CBR.

One common cause of intermittent running problems in the past has been a loose connection. Check for tightness at both battery terminals and also the ground point at the frame.

past few days my bike turn off when I try start run, and sometimes don't start again

After 1h try run I found it!!! In my case the problem it has very simple, a broken cable on right hand bar (engine cut out). Then I turned the wheel to left/right the cable lost connection and the bike turn off, I fix the cable and no more problems!!!

Start your bike and touch on that cables to see if your engine turn off when you move the cables, good luck

Sorry for some mistakes in my english
