Shop parts for a 2017 Yamaha TTR110 Dirt Bike.

Keeping your 2017 Yamaha TTR110 running strong means keeping the air filter clean and replacing it when necessary. Clean intake air is essential for top performance on this reliable trail bike, making regular filter service a must. This MotoSport.com guide walks you through the process with steps and tips specific to your TTR110.

Why It Matters on the TTR110

Your TTR110 uses a reusable foam air filter designed to withstand multiple cleanings. Foam filters, when properly cleaned and oiled, offer excellent protection without restricting airflow. Neglecting this maintenance can let dust bypass the filter, leading to engine wear–a common issue for dirt bikes used in dry or dusty conditions.

How Often Should You Clean or Replace the Air Filter?

For typical riding, inspect and clean the filter every ride in especially dusty conditions, or every few rides in lighter environments. Replace if the foam is torn, brittle, or doesn't bounce back after squeezing. A dirty or damaged filter can drastically cut engine performance and cause long-term issues with the TTR110's air-cooled motor.1

Tools & Items Needed

  • 10mm and 8mm sockets
  • Phillips head screwdriver
  • Foam air filter cleaner/soap and warm water
  • Dedicated foam filter oil
  • A clean, lint-free rag
  • Optional: Replacement air filter (OEM part 5B6-14451-00 or equivalent)

Step-by-Step: Cleaning & Replacing the TTR110 Air Filter

  1. Secure the Bike: Place your TTR110 on a level surface or use a bike stand for stability while you work.1
  2. Remove the Seat and Side Panel: Using a 10mm socket, remove the two seat bolts. Lift off the seat. Remove the right side panel (typically secured with an 8mm bolt and/or plastic rivet and several Phillips head screws) to reveal the airbox.1
  3. Access the Air Filter: Remove the air filter cover case by unscrewing the necessary Phillips head screws. You'll see the foam air filter inside the airbox.2
  4. Remove the Filter: Gently pull out the foam filter. Inspect for damage like small tears or stiff, brittle areas. If damaged, replace with a new unit—use only filters meant for the TTR110 to ensure proper fit and filtration.4
  5. Clean the Filter: For reusable filters in good shape, submerge the foam in a mild detergent or air filter cleaning solution. Squeeze the foam (do not twist or wring) to remove dirt. Rinse thoroughly with warm water until clean.12
  6. Dry: Let the filter dry completely. Do not use a heat source to speed this up–heat can damage the foam.1
  7. Oil the Filter: Apply air filter oil evenly. Place the filter in a plastic bag, pour oil in, and squeeze to distribute oil throughout the foam. The filter should be saturated but not dripping.1
  8. Reinstall: Place the freshly oiled filter back into the airbox, seated properly to ensure a sealed fit. Replace the airbox cover, side panel, and seat.1
  9. Dispose Responsibly: Dispose of old filters and cleaning residues in an environmentally safe way.1

MotoSport Tips Specific to the 2017 TTR110

  • Regular foam filter maintenance is crucial for the longevity of the TTR110's air-cooled, four-stroke engine.

  • If you ride in extremely wet or muddy conditions, keep a spare filter ready for quick swaps between rides.
  • Always check the filter for tears or hardening at every service–these are signs it's time for a replacement.
