Default 929 cuts out while riding and dash lights go out

Hi all.
My engine cuts out while riding, and all lights go out on display at the same time.
If i turn off the key and back on again it all fires up again and runs normal, then a while later it happens again.
Can anyone help me please?

With the bike running, wiggle the harness and connectors. Pay close attention to the ignition switch harness and connector, and also see if it dies with a little pressure on the key in either direction. Make sure your battery cables are clean and tight as well.

It's bound to be a bad connection somewhere. There is a larger plug that connects the front harness to the main harness that have been known to have wire issues. Make sure to look at the wires on the ecu too, another spot that can cause problems.

ya, it's gotta be an electrical connection. almost sounds like you're losing a ground. the battery one might be tight, make sure the one that goes to the starter (or at least that's where the motor grounds on the 954) is tight too.
