Bike loses all power

First thing I'd do is load test the battery; a failing battery can drive you batshit crazy...sometimes they'll just slowly fade away and sometimes they'll do intermittent shut downs due to temp, ect. Next on my hit parade would be charging system...if the battery's not getting charged it'll act dead after a short shutdown, but then slowly gain a bit of charge after it's been sitting and cooling off....that's where I would look first.
