99 CBR600 F4 randomly shuts off
So I have had my bike for about a month and a half now and just recently I was riding and the first time it happened I was going about 35 the bike just felt like it died yet it did not completely shut off until I pulled in the clutch. I coasted until I could get to a safe place to stop fully stopped flipped my kill switch to the off position and then back on and it fired right back up. It did not happen again for a few days and then bam 💥 it did it again except this time it happen when I had only been riding for about a minute and headed home so I coasted stopped cranked it back up and took off. Again it happened so I looked around and thought I seen that it was low on oil I put oil in fired it up and it happened about 4 more times in a 50 minute window until I got home. I thought since it is a wet clutch that it only fully cuts off when I pull the clutch in maybe if it was low on oil and it had a safety switch that would cut it off if you ran it low on oil that this would be the issue and when I did a complete oil change I noticed that oil level was fine so that was not the issue. I changed the spark plugs and checked the coils all seems good there. Fuel pump is turning on but I have not checked the filter to see if it is dirty as all get out. Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to stop this from happening. Any help is great because this is my first bike and I really enjoy riding and want it fixed ASAP.

Welcome to the forum, shame you are having problems.
It does sounds like it is electrical in nature and the kill switch could be the cause of the issue as the solder gets weak and the contacts can become intermittent.
It could also be the BAS.
I would start there, then go around the connectors wiggling the wires to see if you can replicate the fault.
There is no oil level safety switch.
