Shop parts for a 2015 Kawasaki KLX110L Dirt Bike.

The air filter on your 2015 Kawasaki KLX110L is the first and most vital line of defense against dirt, dust, and debris entering your engine. Keeping this filter clean&well maintained ensures optimal performance, engine longevity, and reliability – especially important for off-road use and beginners who often ride these durable mini-motos.

Unique Features of the KLX110L Air Filter

  • Dual-Stage Foam Design: Most KLX110L air filters are constructed with a coarse, open-pore outer foam that catches larger particles, and a fine inner foam to trap smaller contaminants while preserving airflow for maximum engine performance.
  • Flat Greaseless Sealing Ring: Ensures tight contact with the airbox, reducing the risk of dirt bypassing the filter.

When to Clean or Replace Your Air Filter

  • Check and clean the air filter every six months or 50 hours of use, whichever comes first.
  • In dusty or sandy conditions, inspect and clean the filter after every ride.
  • If you notice loss of power, poor throttle response, or visible dirt accumulation, clean or replace immediately.

Proprietary MotoSport Air Filter Cleaning Process

  1. Access the Air Filter:
    • For the 2015 KLX110L, remove both side panels, seat, and the left shroud assembly. Use an 8mm T-handle and a Phillips screwdriver.
    • Remove the three screws securing the air filter cover.
    • Insert a clean rag into the intake tube to prevent any dirt from dropping inside during the procedure.
  2. Remove & Inspect the Filter:
    • Carefully pull the filter out, checking for tears or excessive wear.
    • If damage is found, replace the filter instead of cleaning.
  3. Clean the Filter:
    • Submerge the foam filter in warm, soapy water (mild detergent only).
    • Gently squeeze – never wring – until dirt is removed.
    • Rinse thoroughly under running water until all soap residue is gone.
    • Allow to air dry completely (do not use compressed air or heat sources).
  4. Oil the Filter:
    • Apply quality air filter oil specifically designed for foam filters. Massage evenly into all surfaces and ensure full saturation without excessive dripping.
    • For dual-stage designs, pay extra attention to both layers.
  5. Reinstall & Final Checks:
    • Replace the filter in the airbox. Ensure the sealing ring is seated flat – no gaps.
    • Remove the rag from the intake, reinstall the cover, and secure it with the three screws.
    • Reassemble the seat and panels.
    • Double-check to ensure all fasteners are tightened properly.

Choosing a Replacement Filter

  • Select high-quality dual-stage foam air filters for best protection and airflow.
  • MotoSport stocks direct-fit premium options for the KLX110L – always ensure proper model, year, and fitment.
  • Consider having a spare pre-oiled filter for quick swaps during multi-day rides.

Special KLX110L Model Tips

  • The KLX110L features an upgraded suspension and higher seat than the standard KLX110, making it popular for taller or more aggressive riders – dust intake can be more pronounced due to increased speed and terrain coverage.
  • Always inspect the intake boot for cracks or leaks during air filter maintenance.
  • Panel and seat removal is simple but use care to avoid stripping fasteners, especially on well-used dirt bikes.

Regular air filter care is essential for performance, reliability, and fun – make MotoSport your trusted source for OEM and aftermarket KLX110L parts, maintenance supplies, and expert advice.
