Shop parts for a 2023 Honda CRF110F Dirt Bike.
The 2023 Honda CRF110F is a popular youth dirt bike that relies on a well-maintained air filter for peak performance, engine longevity, and reliable running in all conditions. Proper air filter care for your CRF110F ensures your motor breathes freely and stays protected from damaging dirt and debris unique to off-road riding. As proprietary MotoSport instructions, this guide is tailored specifically for your machine and helps you get the best from your ride.
Air Filter Type – What Makes CRF110F Filters Special?
Your 2023 CRF110F uses a dual-stage foam air filter designed for maximum engine protection. The outer coarse layer traps large debris and dirt, while the fine inner foam captures smaller particles. This design improves airflow and filtration, key for the reliable performance your CRF110F is known for.
Note: Aftermarket options (like those from Twin Air and CJR Performance) use similar multi-layer designs for even more durability and airflow potential.
Cleaning Frequency – When to Service
- For standard use: Clean and reoil your air filter every 6 months.
- Heavy or dusty riding: Clean after every 1-3 rides.
- Inspect the filter for damage each timeif ripped or crumbling, replace immediately.
Removal – Accessing the Filter
- Remove the front fender to improve access (recommended but not mandatory).
- Locate the filter cover directly behind the front fender.
- Use an 8 mm socket to remove the four bolts securing the cover.
- Lift off the cover carefully to expose the filter.
Inspection & Cleaning Process
- Gently remove the filter. Check for rips, crumbling, or excessive dirt. Damaged filters must be replaced.
- If reusing, tap off loose dirt. Wash with a foam air filter cleaner or mild detergent & warm water. Avoid gasoline or strong solvents that damage foam and glue seams.
- Rinse thoroughly and gently squeeze (do not wring) out excess water.
- Allow to air dry completely – never use compressed air or high heat.
- Re-oil the filter with proper foam filter oil. Massage for even coverage. Remove excess oil to prevent drips into the intake.
- Inspect the airbox for dirt. Clean with a rag.
- Check the foam sealing ringit must be intact for a dust-tight seal.
- Inspect the airbox drain plug on the bottom – empty if it contains water or oil.
Replacement – Install Your Fresh Filter
- Seat the (dry or freshly oiled) filter back into the housing, ensuring it fits snug with a complete seal.
- Install the airbox cover and secure with the four bolts. Do not overtighten.
- Reinstall the front fender if removed.
Special Notes for the 2023 Honda CRF110F Owner
- 2023 and all 2019+ CRF110F models share the same filter access and installation procedure, improving over older models with a more robust airbox and easier maintenance.
- Never operate your CRF110F without a filter installed – even for a short period. Doing so may cause severe engine damage.
- Use only foam filter oil – other types may not protect effectively.
- Replacement filters may include upgraded designs, such as honeycomb bases for increased throttle response.
