The 2018 Yamaha TTR110 is known for its reliable engine and accessible design, making maintenance straightforward for owners. Proper air filter care is essential for optimal performance, especially when riding in dusty environments. This guide, unique to MotoSport, will walk you through cleaning and replacing the air filter while highlighting tips tailored to the TTR110.
Why Air Filter Maintenance Matters
A clean air filter ensures your TTR110's engine receives unrestricted air flow, which is crucial for power output – especially in off-road conditions. Neglect leads to reduced performance and potential engine damage from dirt ingestion. Foam air filters, such as those used in the TTR110, are reusable until torn or deteriorated, but timely cleaning and oiling are critical for longevity..
What You'll Need
- 10mm and 8mm sockets
- Phillips screwdriver
- Approved filter cleaning solution
- Air filter oil
- Clean, lint-free towels
Step-by-Step Air Filter Removal
- Ensure the bike is securely parked – stability is key for safety.
- Remove the seat by undoing bolts using a 10mm socket.
- Take off the right side panel using an 8mm socket, then extract the plastic quick-fastener rivet.
- Undo the air filter cover screws (typically Phillips head).
- Carefully slide out the air filter element – inspect for tears or significant wear. Replacement is needed if damage is found.
Cleaning Process
- Place the filter in a cleaning solution – gently squeeze (never twist) until dirt and old oil are removed.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water – avoid hot water and heat sources to prevent foam damage.
- Let the filter air-dry completely – do not use compressed air or dryers.
Oiling & Reinstallation
- Saturate the dry filter with air filter oil. Place in a sealable bag and squeeze to distribute oil evenly.
- Check the filter is fully coated but not dripping – excess oil can restrict airflow.
- Install the oiled filter back into the airbox, confirming correct seating and sealing.
- Reinstall the air filter cover, side panel, and seat in reverse order of removal.
Replacement Tips for 2018 Yamaha TTR110
- Foam filters should be replaced if torn, brittle, or unable to adequately clean after several uses.
- Always use manufacturer-recommended parts & lubricants for best results.
- Dispose of used filter oil and cleaning liquids safely – environmental stewardship matters.
Maintenance Interval
Clean the air filter after every ride in dusty conditions or at least every 6 months/1800 miles, whichever comes first. Frequent service maintains the performance typical of the TTR110.
Model-Specific Notes for the TTR110
- The right side panel and airbox are designed for quick removal. Make sure not to overtighten screws when reassembling to avoid stripping plastic thread points.
- Periodic filter replacement should coincide with other maintenance services (e.g., spark plug check and oil change) for best results.
