When it turns itself off does everything go off i.e. like it's got no battery?

Easy stuff first - check the battery connections are clean and tight. It might be as simple as that.

If not, you're on to checking the battery and charging system are in good condition, checking the loom for damage and the connectors for corrosion. Some pointy models have suffered from shorting in the green ignition connector at the front of the bike.

Yep that's where I'd start.

Don't forget the main fuse and connector and live terminals on the relay too.

Loose battery connection also can cause this.
