Loss of electrical power intermittent

[plumber63]

There is a bunch of black with yellow strip wires that come together in a bundle all taped up. These are known to get loose and melt/burn apart.

Any idea on a location?...I did have the two black/yellow wires from the stators to the battery ground cable melt at the connector...i replaced them with a large gauge wire with a soldered splice at the split...i havent run into a group splice anywhere else yet..

i'll keep looking...

i have voltage dropped the grounds ive found and had nothing indicate and are compromised..

i even bypassed the kickstand safety switch thinking it might be intermittently going open...no dice...

i am starting to lean toward the ignition switch as it is a total power interruption...coincidentally i noticed during my trip that the key was getting difficult to remove at times...i also noticed that it doesnt take much movement from the on position to shut it down...i cant confirm this is an issue while riding but it is starting to give me enough trouble to make replacing the 20 year old part with a new one...
