Keeping your 2024 Kawasaki KLX110L’s oil fresh is a simple job that pays off in smoother performance and longer engine life. This MotoSport.com how-to covers every detail for your model, including the tools you’ll need, step-by-step instructions, and KLX110L-specific call-outs to make your oil change fast and foolproof.

Tools and Materials Needed

  • 3/8” ratchet and extension
  • 8mm, 12mm, 17mm sockets
  • Torque wrench
  • Allen key (may be needed for newer model skid plate bolts) – check yours before starting
  • Oil drain pan
  • Funnel
  • Gloves and shop rags
  • Replacement oil filter (optional, but recommended)
  • High-quality 4-stroke motorcycle oil (SAE 10W-40; 0.9L if not changing filter, 1.1L if changing filter)

Before You Begin

  • For the 2024 KLX110L, the oil change interval is every 50 hours after your break-in oil change at five hours4.
  • The process is the same as previous model years, but always check for any unique fasteners or changes in your owner’s manual3.
  • If you recently rode the bike, allow the engine to cool slightly before you start, especially around the exhaust system to avoid burns1.

Step-by-Step Oil Change Instructions

1. Prep the Bike & Work Area

  • Start the engine and let it run for 2-3 minutes to warm the oil. This helps contaminants mix and makes the oil flow better3.
  • Shut off the engine and put the bike on a stable, level surface or a bike stand.

2. Remove the Skid Plate (If Equipped)

  • Using an 8mm socket, remove the bolts from each side of the skid plate.
  • Then, use a 12mm socket (or Allen key on some newer models) for the two rear bolts and take off the plate1.
  • Caution: The exhaust may be hot – avoid contact.

3. Remove the Oil Fill Cap

  • Unscrew the filler cap on the right side of the engine. This allows the oil to drain more quickly and completely1.

4. Drain the Old Oil

  • Place your oil pan underneath the engine.
  • Using a 17mm socket, remove the drain bolt beneath the engine. Allow all oil to drain completely.
  • Inspect the drain bolt and its washer for damage; replace if necessary.
  • Replace and torque the drain bolt to factory specifications (typically 18 ft-lb, but always verify for your year).

5. Replace or Inspect the Oil Filter (Optional, Recommended Every Other Change)

  • 2024 KLX110L Note: The filter isn’t required every cycle but changing it keeps oil flow optimal. Choose a high-quality filter; some owners prefer brands with larger flow passages4.
  • Locate the oil filter cover (right side engine case), remove (typically three small bolts), and pull the old filter out. A small amount of oil will come out – have your pan ready.
  • Insert the new filter in the correct orientation. Lubricate the cover O-ring and reinstall the cover, tightening bolts evenly.

6. Add New Oil

  • Refer to your owner’s manual for correct oil volume. For the 2024 KLX110L:
    • With filter change: 1.1 L (1.16 US qt)
    • Without filter change: 0.9 L (0.95 US qt)2
  • Pour slowly using a funnel to avoid spills.
  • Clean the oil fill cap’s sealing surface and reinstall it.

7. Check Oil Level

  • Start the bike and let it idle for a few minutes. Turn it off and let it sit for another couple of minutes.
  • With the bike upright and level, check the oil level in the sight glass on the right case2.
  • The level should be between upper and lower marks. Add or drain oil as needed to reach the correct level without overfilling.

8. Reinstall the Skid Plate

  • Align the skid plate and reinstall all bolts, torquing to spec. Double-check for loose or missing hardware.

9. Final Checks

  • Look around the engine and drain bolt for leaks.
  • Properly dispose of used oil and filter at a recycling center.
  • Record the service in your maintenance log.

KLX110L Model-Specific Oil Change Tips

  • The oil drain bolt is 17mm, and the skid plate bolts are 8mm, 12mm, or sometimes Allen head, depending on sub-model and year3.
  • Use only quality JASO MA-rated motorcycle oil. Automotive oils can damage the clutch.
  • Check for any updated service bulletins on the 2024 KLX110L for small spec changes.
