Shop parts for a 2024 Honda CRF110F Dirt Bike.

The 2024 Honda CRF110F stands out as a reliable youth dirt bike, engineered with modern four-stroke dependability. To keep performance and longevity at their peak, routine air filter maintenance is essential. This guide from MotoSport.com details a proprietary process for cleaning and replacing the air filter, ensuring you get the most from every ride.

Understanding Your CRF110F Air Filter

The CRF110F uses a dual-stage, open-pore foam filter designed for maximum filtration and airflow. This filter traps both large dirt particles and fine dust, safeguarding your engine against wear [1]. Neglecting filter service can lead to reduced power and costly engine repairs.

How Often To Clean or Replace

  • Honda recommends checking and cleaning the air filter every 6 months. However, if you ride in dusty or wet conditions, inspect and service the filter after every ride [3].
  • Replace the filter if you see tears, crumbling foam, or persistent staining after cleaning.
  • Disposable, pre-oiled filters like the Maxima ProFilter are single-use only and must not be washed or reused [2].

Tools & Supplies Needed

  • 8 mm socket or T-handle – for air filter cover bolts
  • Clean rags
  • Foam filter cleaner/solvent (specific for foam)
  • Fresh filter oil (if cleaning and reusing a standard foam filter)
  • Replacement filter (order the correct 2019-2024 CRF110F filter for perfect fit and function)
  • Disposable gloves (optional for cleanliness)

Step-By-Step Air Filter Removal

  1. Put the bike on a clean stand to keep debris away from the open intake.
  2. Use an 8 mm socket to remove the four bolts from the front air filter cover behind the front fender.
  3. Remove the cover carefully. Wipe down any dust on the inside of the cover using a clean rag.
  4. Gently pull the air filter from the cage. Inspect the filter for damage or excessive dirt build-up.

Cleaning Your Reusable Foam Filter

  • Apply foam filter cleaner and work it through to remove all dirt and oil. Avoid gasoline, as it can degrade foam and adhesives.
  • Rinse the filter thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if necessary until the water runs clear.
  • Squeeze out excess water – never twist or wring the foam as this can tear it.
  • Allow the filter to air dry completely.
  • Once dry, apply air filter oil evenly. Work the oil through the foam by hand so no dry spots remain. Excess oil can be gently squeezed out.

Replacing with a New or Disposable Filter

  • If using a disposable pre-oiled filter, simply install it directly—do not attempt to clean or re-oil [2].
  • For reusable filters, ensure proper oil coverage for maximum particle trapping efficiency.
  • Check the sealing ring and the filter cage for wear or damage before reinstalling.

Reassembly – What's Unique for the 2024 Model?

  • 2024 CRF110F filters use a thick, flat foam sealing ring for a tight airbox seal. Proper seating here is critical to engine protection [1].
  • Inspect the bottom of the airbox for the moisture drain plug. Drain any accumulated oil or water as part of each service [3].
  • Reinstall the cleaned or new filter on the cage, ensuring a snug fit, then replace the filter cover and secure all four bolts evenly.

Best Practices & Tips

  • Change gloves and rags after cleaning to prevent introducing debris during reinstallation.
  • Log each air filter service or change in a maintenance notebook.
  • Always keep a spare, clean filter ready for quick swaps if you ride in variable conditions.
