This might sound like a dumb suggestion, but have you checked your battery connections. These can often be loose and poor connections seem to create all sorts of problems on the speed triple.

Check the grounding block on the motor in front of and below the battery box as well. Bike completely dying like the kill switch was off'd sounds like battery connections are loose somewhere.

Does not sound exactly like my problem, but quite similar. I experienced my 06 S3 shutting down electrically pretty often. I would be riding along, and BAM engine dies, all lights go off and I coast to a stop. After replacing 2 dozen blown ignition fuses I hauled her to the dealer, and they found a zip tie wore through some wire insulation, grounding my ignition cabling to the frame. They replaced the wiring and "double insulated" it. All under warranty. Think about something like that! its possible. :hammer:
