Maintaining the air filter on your 2015 Kawasaki KLX110 is essential for optimal engine performance and longevity. Dust, dirt, and debris can quickly clog your filter, restricting airflow and risking engine damage. Regularly cleaning and, when necessary, replacing your air filter is a straightforward process that keeps your dirt bike running strong on every ride.
How Often to Clean or Replace the Air Filter
- Clean the air filter every six months or 50 hours of use–whichever comes first. If you ride in especially dusty or muddy conditions, check and clean it more frequently.
Tools & Supplies Needed
- 8mm socket and driver
- Phillips screwdriver
- Air filter cleaner (or mild dishwashing detergent)
- Clean water
- Foam filter oil
- Clean, lint-free rags
- Optional: spare air filter for quick swaps
Accessing the Air Filter on the KLX110
- Remove both side panels using the 8mm socket.
- Take off the seat by removing its bolts and sliding it out of its groove.
- Remove the tank shroud (also held by 8mm bolts and a central Phillips screw).
- With the plastics off, you'll see the air box on the left side of the bike; remove the air filter cover by unscrewing the three Phillips screws.
Cleaning the Air Filter
- Carefully remove the air filter from the air box.
- Place a clean rag in the intake tube to avoid debris entering the engine.
- Rinse the filter gently to remove loose dirt.
- Apply air filter cleaner or soak in a mild detergent solution to loosen filter oil and remaining dirt.
- Squeeze – do not wring – the filter to work out contaminants. Rinse thoroughly with water until clean.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely. Do not use compressed air or heat sources, which can damage the foam.
Oiling & Reinstalling the Filter
- Once dry, apply foam filter oil evenly to the entire filter. Squeeze gently to ensure even distribution but avoid oversaturation.
- Check and clean the inside of the air box while the filter dries.
- Remove the rag from the intake tube. Reinstall the clean, oiled filter, ensuring a snug and proper seal to prevent unfiltered air from entering the engine.
- Reattach the air filter cover, shroud, seat, and side panels in reverse order.
When to Replace the Air Filter
- If the filter foam is torn, deteriorated, or excessively stained after cleaning, replace it to ensure no contaminants bypass the filter.
