Dash lights and no power

[Oh-Danny-Boy]

Hi all. Hope someone can help or point me in the right direction.

 

I have an 09 hornet 600. Went for a spin this evening and noticed that when the road was a bit bumpy, two lights would appear;

HISS

Engine light

Also, the revs would drop right down and I would lose power for a couple of seconds before it would continue again.

 

This is a recent buy and only my second ride.

 

Any idea what this could be? I would rather learn amd do the work myself if it's an easy fix.

 

Cheers

If it's on a bumpy road I would say loose wiring connection somewhere.  Location would be the challenge, someone with more knowledge will be along shortly to tell me I am wrong.

Don`t think you are wrong at all @onesea For my money I would start the search in the area of the ignition switch itself.

It is suprising how often damage occurs because people ride around with large heavy bunches of keys on the keyring with the ignition key.

I'm sure @oneseais right. Check also the battery connectors, both on the battery itself and also where the earth strap connects to the frame. Check the battery terminals themselvs, it's not unknown for them to break and be loose in the battery.

Finally got round to checking it last night. It was a loose connection to the battery. All sorted, thanks for the advice.
