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!

Hi Alex, big thank you from NZ.

What I find interesting is how much stuff you have to remove to clean the air filter.

@802_AirHead 😀 I've seen way worse, too- but definitely not a 30 second job.

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.

@alexdombi-weridetwo 5 месяцев назад

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.

Awesome video, now I am just trying to figure out this lean bog I get when I crack the throttle from nothing. Stock 21 KLX110, trying to learn wheelies but its hard when the throttle range I intend to use is bog-prone

@alexdombi-weridetwo 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the kind words. Look into an aftermarket exhaust set up. That may help to smooth out the power and prevent the bogging.

@jeffmoreland1534 11 месяцев назад

I liked your video on the versys 650. Did you ever do a video on checking valve clearance for your versys?

@alexdombi-weridetwo 11 месяцев назад

Glad to hear you liked it. I have not filmed a valve video for the Versys- yet. It's not on my list of upcoming videos but I can keep it in mind for the near future.

@mudguydude 24 дня назад

great video helped me out a ton im just wondering does it matter from bike to bike what stuff you put on the air filter before you put it back in.

@alexdombi-weridetwo 24 дня назад

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.

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!!!

@alexdombi-weridetwo 6 месяцев назад

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!

What is the name of the part or where did you get that exhaust pipe header heat shield? I have only seen the big "horn" style ones online, but I love the look of that one you've got on that 110. Thanks for the video! Going to be using this to check up on my son's new 2005 KLX 110.

@alexdombi-weridetwo 3 месяца назад

I hope im understanding which part you mean. If you mean the little pannel on the header pipe it is the OEM heat shield from Kawasaki.

@WoolridgeWildcatsCoachAndrew 3 месяца назад

@@alexdombi-weridetwo I think I managed to find it on an OEM parts website. Thanks for the help!

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 9 месяцев назад

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.

@@alexdombi-weridetwo A lot of information, very interesting. Thanks a lot, you are the best.

@T21-TwentyOneTrailers. 9 месяцев назад

@@alexdombi-weridetwo In my area the ttr 110 is cheap than klx 110. So is better to get the ttr than klx, no? I feel that the ttr 110 is well build than klx. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance,👍

@alexdombi-weridetwo 9 месяцев назад

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.

@Alex-yg7ru 6 дней назад

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 5 дней назад

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.

@thechampagneroom1 8 месяцев назад

Is your filler cap missing an o-ring on that bike?

@alexdombi-weridetwo 8 месяцев назад

I'm not aware of an o-ring that should be on the fuel cap. Why do you ask?

@ericm4426 2 месяца назад

Do you need a torque wrench?i always do it gently finger tight

@alexdombi-weridetwo 2 месяца назад

A torque wrench is always the safest idea. Personally, as an untrained DIY hobbyist mechanic, I use a torque wrench on any bolt inside the engine. This is not the best way to do it for everyone. 😆

@eclark53520 3 месяца назад

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.

@eclark53520 3 месяца назад

Also, get some T-handles brother...watching you work on this bike with a ratchet is painfully slow.

@alexdombi-weridetwo 3 месяца назад

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 😂
