  If your Husqvarna Motorcycle engine has too little power, several factors could be responsible: * A very dirty air filter. Clean the air filter and air filter box. * A very dirty fuel filter. Change the fuel filter. * A malfunction in the electronic fuel injection. Use the Husqvarna Motorcycles diagnostics tool to read out the fault memory. * A leaky or deformed exhaust system, or too little glass fiber yarn filling in the main silencer. Check the exhaust system for damage and change the glass fiber yarn filling of the main silencer. * Too little valve clearance. Adjust the valve clearance.
