Shop parts for a 2013 Yamaha TTR110 Dirt Bike.

The 2013 Yamaha TTR110 is a reliable, beginner-friendly dirt bike with a low-maintenance design. However, proper air filter care is vital for longevity, consistent performance, and engine protection, especially considering the TTR110's air-cooled engine and frequent use by newer riders who may encounter more dust and debris. This guide from MotoSport.com provides all you need to know about cleaning and replacing the air filter in your TTR110, ensuring your bike always runs at its best.

When to Clean or Replace the Air Filter

  • Clean the air filter after every ride in dusty or sandy conditions, or at minimum every 6 months or 3,000 km (1,800 mi), as recommended in your maintenance schedule.
  • Replace the filter when it shows signs of tears, excessive dirt, or deterioration–the TTR110 uses a reusable foam filter, but when damaged, always install a new one.

Tools & Supplies Needed

  • 10mm and 8mm sockets
  • Screwdriver (Phillips)
  • Air filter cleaner solution
  • Air filter oil (foam type)
  • Warm water & mild dish soap (optional for washing)
  • Rags or paper towels
  • Disposable gloves (recommended)

How to Remove the Air Filter

  • Secure your bike on a stand or firm surface with the engine off and cool.
  • Remove the right side panel by loosening two bolts with a 10mm socket, then a third with an 8mm socket, and take out the plastic quick-fastener rivet if equipped.
  • Undo the two screws on the airbox cover using a Phillips screwdriver and gently pull the cover off.
  • Carefully pull out the air filter from the airbox. Inspect the filter for dirt, debris, or damage.

How to Clean the Air Filter

  • Tap the filter lightly to dislodge loose dirt and debris.
  • Soak the filter in a dedicated air filter cleaning solution or a mix of warm water and dish soap. Gently squeeze (do not wring or twist) to avoid damaging the foam.
  • Rinse thoroughly with warm water until all soap and debris is gone. Never use solvents (like gasoline) or heat for drying–let the filter air dry naturally.
  • Once fully dry, apply foam filter oil evenly. Place the filter and oil in a plastic bag and squeeze until saturated–properly oiled foam traps dirt while allowing airflow.

How to Reinstall (or Replace) the Air Filter

  • Inspect the airbox for debris and wipe clean if needed.
  • Install the clean and oiled (or new) filter by pressing it snugly into the airbox, ensuring a good seal to keep unfiltered air out.
  • Reattach the airbox cover and side panel in reverse order, tightening all bolts and screws securely.
  • Check that the seat and side panels are properly aligned.

MotoSport Tips for 2013 Yamaha TTR110 Owners

  • The TTR110's foam filter design can be reused many times, but even a small tear warrants replacement–engine damage from dirty air is costly compared to a new filter.
  • Use foam-specific filter oil and cleaners for best filtration and filter longevity.
  • Frequent cleaning is especially critical if young or inexperienced riders operate the bike in harsh conditions.
  • Dispose of old oil and cleaning residues in accordance with local regulations to protect the environment.
  • Regular air filter care supports smooth carburetor and engine performance, reducing long-term repair needs.

Proper care of your 2013 Yamaha TTR110 air filter keeps your ride fun, safe, and reliable on every trail–for all skill levels.
