Service manuals go a long way, but getting your hands on the bike and doing your own maintenance is the best way to learn. Hopefully this helps you be more confident with these 3 tasks!

Thank you for the time to make basic maintenance on the KLK110. I own a 2018 KLX 110L and everything you mentioned is great but have you noticed the procedure in the manual is specific for measuring chain slack at around 1/2" from the bottom while chain is taut on the top? This is unique since the common method is measuring on top for full size dirt bikes. Also, as an added bonus to other DIY mechanics the Kawasak owners manuals are available online for free and describe these exact maintenance tips in detail so there isnt a need to purchase except when it comes to the service manual.

The service manuals are worth their weight in gold and even better when you can find the free downloads 👍 As for the chain slack procedure, it's very common to check from the bottom on sportbikes, too. Honestly, I didn't know the KLX110 manual states to check from the bottom. Good call out, thanks.

Great video and bike too. Who is easy for wheelies: the ttr 110, the klx 110 or the crf 110? Some friends told me to take the klx 140, they told me that is the best for learning wheelies. What is your opinion? Thanks 👍
@alexdombi-weridetwo

If wheelies and being a pit bike are you goal, klx110 all the way. It's great for wheelies and just having fun. The klx140 is more of a trail bike but is fantastic for learning the clutch. I had one for my wife and for teaching kids to ride. The ttr110 is good too, but tends to cost a lot more than the klx110. I have taught a lot of kids to ride on crf110s, too. The honda and kawasaki will have a lot more aftermarket support.

Yamaha is the lightest of the 3, but they are all very comparable. My suggestion would be to get the best deal you can find with an electric start. If you're buying a newer one- Honda uses fuel injection. You said you want to just mess around with wheelies, right? Look for one that is clean and cheap. If you're an adult try to find one that already has a tall bar kit and seat on it.

Hey Alex , I have a 2017 klx 110, while I was riding I notice burnt melted rubber on the rear rim. And I’m assuming it’s the hub damper. Do you know the cause of this ?!!?!?
@alexdombi-weridetwo
2 ай бұрын
I've been scratching my head trying to think of what it could be and I'm not sure I would know without seeing it. It could be loads of things from different causes. I'd pull the wheel off, check the bearings, check the tire, chain, brake components, exhaust mount, and also check under the seat and side panels. Hopefully it's nothing major and you can get it fixed easily.

@alexdombi-weridetwo

Im glad you found this helpful! Assuming it's a foam filter, you can use the same type of filter oil. Some bikes use a paper filter, and you'd need a different kind of oil for that.
@eclark53520

My TTR owners manual states 30 hours of engine run time for oil changes, as it doesn't use a filter. I'm pretty sure the KLX owners manual states 50 hours. Maybe you meant to say 50 not 5? If it were actually 5 I would have to change my oil twice a day when we hit the trails...there's no way. Maybe the very first initial break in oil change is stated at 5 hours, but not every 5 hours for the life of the bike. That's just wasting oil.

50 hours seems extremely long. 5 hours may be too often for the type of riding you do, sure. I've always done my big bikes at 5 hours and carried that habit in to small bikes too. Looking at the service manual you are right. Good call out- but I'm still going to change my oil more often ;) Also, I have t- handles in my track tool kit just seldom use them in the garage. Maybe another old habit 😂

On the side of the engine there is a small glass window. With the bike held upright (not on the side stand) you can see the level of oil in the window. The oil should be between the two lines.

Thanks for making this clear and thorough video! I am a new moto mom and need all the help I can get to pass on to my boys. I am very hands on and like/need to save money as a single mom. I am interested in learning about cleaning/rebuilding carbs on this bike as well as an older Kawasaki 2 stroke 65, is this something you think is best for a seasoned professional mechanic or can a devoted DIYer get it done without messin things up? Love to get your thoughts! Thanks again for a GREAT video!!!

I love your wanting to be as involved as possible in your kids' hobby! Carb cleaning is a great thing to learn because it's not overly complicated but is something that is done fairly often. I did a video of a carb clean for a ttr50 but it's applicable to many other kinds of carburetors. On 2 strokes, learning to do a top end is also a good idea and will be a good cost saver as well. Good luck and ride safe!
