OVERVIEW
KLX110
MINI-MOTO MANIA: TWO FUN
OFF-ROAD PLAYBIKES FOR
YOUNGSTERS AND MINIMOTO ENTHUSIASTS
Even simple bikes can offer a great deal of fun. Kawasaki
recognises this and produced two playbikes based on the
KLX110. Designed for youngsters aged 13 and above, and
mini-moto enthusiasts, the KLX110 and KLX110L can handle
rider weights up to 70 kg.

2 0 1 2 M Y K L X 1 1 0 / 1 1 0 L M O D E L I N F O R M AT I O N
Precise settings for the 112cc SOHC Single result in a more
powerful engine and a 4-speed transmission features a
smooth shifting, wide range gear box which makes riding
fun and more aggressive riding possible. Single rear shock
with triangular swingarm offers smooth wheel travel and
increased bottoming performance, and roomier ergonomics
accommodate a wider range of riders.

OVERVIEW
Compounding the fun, riders now have two models to choose from. The “standard” KLX110, featuring all the improvements listed above,
comes equipped with a centrifugal clutch, enabling clutchless shifting. The KLX110L features a manual clutch enabling sportier riding for
those who want to enjoy greater control, and longer-travel suspension that offers superior rough-road performance.
And with the addition of handy features like electric start and KACR (Kawasaki Automatic Compression Release), access to fun is easier
than ever. Revised pedal and lever design further facilitate operation.
Both models are wrapped in sporty factory-style bodywork emulating Kawasaki’s flagship motocrosser, the KX450F.
The KLX110 and KLX110L – Small bikes. Big fun.

KEY FEATURES
MORE FUN
The biggest challenge in owning a KLX110 or KLX110L isn’t deciding how to enjoy its amazing off-road capabilities. It’s figuring out who’s
going to ride it first—because its compact dimensions, simple-to-use features, and choice of 2 models were designed for a wide range of
beginning riders.
Powerful Engine
* Air-cooled 112cc SOHC engine pumps out plenty of responsive
low-rpm torque. Valve-timing results in an engine more powerful at all
rpm’s than its predecessor.
* Carburettor settings match the power characteristics and offer more
stable performance when riding on rough roads.
* Silencer internals offer improved flow and deliver a bold exhaust note
while maintaining noise levels.
4-speed transmission
* Transmission features 4 gears.
* Compared to the previous generations KLX110 the overall ratio in
top gear (now 4th gear) is about the same, 1st gear is much taller
and the gearbox has a wider range, which contributes to smoother
transition, making riding more fun and more aggressive riding
possible. Final ratio is now 38/13 (2.923) (Ilustration A)
A
* Reduced piston ring tension offers reduced mechanical friction, also
contributing to the increased performance.
* Shift drum cam groove and positioning spring and a smooth cam
surface result in improved shift feel and positive gear engagement
under all riding conditions.
* Manual transmission (KLX110L only) enables sportier riding for those
wishing to enjoy greater control.

KEY FEATURES
Rear Suspension
Ergonomics
* High rear shock spring rates, increased damping and rubber damper
material offer increased bottoming performance.
* Handlebar bend offers greater freedom of movement and
accommodates a wider range of riders. (Photo 3)
* Swingarm pivot lowered to accommodate the longer rear shock
units.

Tires
* High-traction IRC off-road tires (F: 2.50-14 4PR; R: 3.00-12 4PR) offer
increased performance.
Brakes
* Rear brake rod offset and lever ratios offers a positive brake pedal
feel. (Photos 1-2)

* Grip design features a raised waffle pattern on half of the surface
which offers grip and comfort.
* KLX110L increased seat height more easily accommodates taller
riders.

greater control and even more off-road performance.
Clutch: centrifugal or manual
* Centrifugal clutch
(KLX110 only) enables
easy riding. Gear pattern

KEY FEATURES
EASIER TO USE
FACTORY STYLING

KLX110
* KACR (Kawasaki Automatic Compression Release) (using the intake
valve) provides easy starting for both the electric starter and kick
starter.
Easy operation
* The shape of the shift pedal, brake pedal and kick start pedal offer
easier operation and minimize unintended actuation.
* Starter and kill switch are both located at the left handle grip,
allowing the rider to operate the throttle with one hand while starting
or stopping the engine with the other.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Engine
Other
* Muffler comes equipped with a spark arrester, meaning the
KLX110/L can access designated off-road public riding areas.
* Neutral-only starting (KLX110 only) prevents the bike from being
started in gear.
* Digital DC-CDI ensures quick starts and low maintenance.
* Adjustable throttle allows performance to be limited.
* Ignition timing inspection hole added to the left side of the engine
facilitates maintenance.
* Three separate heat shields are mounted on the exhaust system.
* Efficiently designed airbox is compact and easy to service.
Chassis
* Sturdy high-tensile steel backbone frame and high-tensile steel
braced swingarm contribute to the excellent handling characteristics
of the KLX110 and KLX110L.
* Sprocket-style chain drive roller (KLX110L only) helps smooth engine
braking by reducing the effect of driveline lash when the rider gets
off the gas quickly and play in the lower side of the chain suddenly
tightens. The additional control facilitates corner entry.
* Long lower chain guard encloses the bottom and hub-side of the
chain, making it difficult for fingers to get trapped.
* Tapered roller bearing (previously a ball bearing) used at the bottom
of the steering stem offers increased durability.
* Steel rims measure 14 x 1.40 (front) and 12 x 1.60 (rear).
* Sealed-type 12 V battery supplies power for the electric starter.
* Convenient side stand eases maintenance chores.
