How to make it more native-like no.34

Hi there,

Here's a description of one of the problems I'm having with my motorbike. I have to get to a mechanic to get it fixed. Can you please help me make the description a bit better?

The problem is with the ignition switch and I suppose there might be a loose wire inside. When I turn the key several light should turn on but instead they merely flick rapidly and then the fade away. When I press/push the key a bit tighter everything is fine but whenever I hit a bump on the road I risk/I'm risking getting the motorcycle lose its power and turn itself off.

Thanks
