Ok. That is fairly simple.
Things to think about ...
Is the connection to the battery ok? With the phone charging in the mount, engine off ... wiggle the new wires at the battery and see if the phone losses power.
Is the bikes vibration causing the phone connection to fail? Remove the phone mount from the bike - leaving the wires connected- as check (hold the phone + mount in your hands)?

Some info ...
The phone should 'run' off the bikes charging system ...not the bikes battery. Reason; the bikes battery has a limited amount of power and will eventually go flat.
The bikes charging system should;
recharge the bikes battery to keep it charged up
provide electrical power to the rest of the bike (headlight, stop light, etc)
The phone is a very small electrical load ... will within most bikes charging system capabilities, even a 125.
