How does it stop? Like you hit the kill switch or like you ran out of gas? I assume that's 140C, not 140C so about 280F which is a high temp, but not excessive. How are the spark plugs? If they have a glassy brown deposit on it than that melts at higher temps and conducts electricity so your spark plugs effective short out. Does it start running rough before dieing?

It takes three things to go boom, air, fuel and spark. So if it stops going boom you lost one or more of those. Electronics would be the most likely with temp, repeatedable, predictable and as though you just hit the kill switch. One thing you could try is keeping a fan trained on specific parts to find where the heat causes the problem. The more you can isolate what you're cooling the better. Left versus right, front versus rear. Start broadly to get a rough idea where then try to narrow it down. That's assuming it is actually temperature related and not just happens to be the length of time it takes to hit that temp.

Electrical problems will drive you crazy and can get quite expensive if you just throw parts at it which it looks like you did already. You could look at the ignition switch, circuit breakers, igntion module, sensors. Could also be a loose wire, bad battery that doesn't charge, voltage regulator, and on and on

My bike was serviced for the exact same problem not too long ago...when it got to a certain temp the ignition module stopped working and the bike died like someone hit the kill switch. Replaced the ignition module and now runs like new.

Best of luck.
