The 2026 Honda CRF110F features a modern air filtration system designed for reliable performance and long-lasting engine life.

Keeping the air filter in top condition directly impacts throttle response, engine power, and overall longevity of your bike.
About the CRF110F Air Filter
- Type: Dual-stage foam filtera coarse outer layer blocks larger debris, while a fine inner layer captures finer particles for maximum filtration and airflow.
- Key Feature: Fused outer and inner elements prevent dirt from lodging between layers, improving both function and ease of cleaning.
- Sealing: Utilizes a thick, flat foam sealing ring for maximum contact with the airbox, reducing the risk of bypass contamination.
The CRF110F comes stock with a reusable, washable foam filter, but disposable pre-oiled options are available. Confirm the filter type before beginning any cleaning process. If using a disposable pre-oiled filter, replace rather than clean it and do not reuse after service life ends.
When to Clean or Replace the Air Filter
- Inspect the air filter after every ride in dusty or muddy conditions.
- Clean the filter after every 1-2 long rides in normal trail conditions.
- Replace disposable pre-oiled filters as soon as they show visible dirt or degradation .

- Remove the seat using the mounting bolts.

- Cautiously detach the air filter from the intake boot. Pay attention to the direction and fit of the filter for easier reinstall.
Cleaning the Foam Air Filter
- Tap the filter lightly to remove loose dirt & debris.
- Fill a bucket with a gentle, non-petroleum based cleaner or a dedicated foam air filter cleaner.
- Fully submerge the filter, gently squeezing (never wringing), until all dirt and oil are extracted. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Repeat the cleaning if needed, until the filter is visibly clean and free of debris.
- Allow the filter to dry completely before oiling.
Oiling & Reinstallation
