When there is no charging system operational, the bike will run wih battery in total loss mode. When it gets to a certain point of discharge, the first indication is indeed as you saw, the intruments go blank. There is little power left at this point and need to get home asap! 

Either the R/R (rectifier/regulator) and/or the stator is bad - both are unfortunately quite common failures on these bikes. 

You can find a diagnosis guide that I personally authored at this site: 
http://www.triumphrat.net/speed-triple-forum/104504-charging-system-diagnostics-rectifier-regulator-upgrade.html

Follow those guidelines and you will be able to determine which or both is failed.
Also is a recommendation for a retrofit/upgrade to a better component if you do need to replace the R/R.

    This has just happened to me. Bike running fine. Instruments went out. It struggled for about 4/5 miles, getting gradually worse and then "died", 100 yds from my front gate.

1997 Triumph Daytona 955i. When my engine is getting to temperature it stalls and dies. Why is that please?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

Sounds like fuel starvation or Idle Air Control. I found this

Reader query: Triumph Daytona 955i ignition problems

I have a 1999 Triumph Daytona 955i. It refuses to tick over when started from cold. After a couple of miles down the road, it seems fine. If I restart it before it gets cold it's OK. If I leave it longer than maybe an hour then the same problem occurs.

Willblues, MCN forum.
It sounds like it's running extremely lean. There's an initial check you can do yourself on the idle air control. It regulates the air from the airbox into the motor and you can get at it in the airbox. Remove the fuel tank and airbox and you should see a little plastic housing that pokes into the airbox with a little white disc that should rise and fall in response to throttle movement. The only problem with this is the FI management light will stay on after, until it has cycled three times.
If that doesn't sort it, you'll need to get a dealer to run a diagnostic check on it to see if it has the correct map and idle fuel trim.

30 amp fuse gets hot 2006 Triumph Daytona 955i

Hi, I assume it's the main fuse to or from the battery? Check for a loose connection at the fuse holder. At each point of the wires opposite to the fuse. Also if it is a blade type fuse holder, it's possible that the fuse is loose.(not a good tight fit) An in line fuse

My oil lamp has come up on my 2003 Daytona 955i and the oil has collected moisture after only 400 miles

Could be a hairline crack in your head, or warpage allowing your coolant to mix in with your oil and your oil to seep into your combustion chamber and burn off leaving your oil low. Has your car ran hot recently? A cracked intake or warn gasket on your intake or heads could do the same. Research it

I have just had an 12,000 mile service on my triunph daytona 955i and when i got it home I noticed that there was blue smoke coming from the exhaust which smells like oil, This did not happen before the...

Sounds like the garages I've dealt with most of my life.

Blue smoke is a symptom of oil burning which a 12k vehicle woldn't be doing under normal operation. If I had to guess, I'd say it was over-filled with oil or there is a faulty emission component. If it's over-filled, the smoke will probably soon stop, but I suggest ASAP checking the oil several times with engine cold on level ground. Please let me know what you find.

Battery not charging 03 955i
