My bike





Anyway, I was told not to get a CDI box/Rev box see the 2011L starting issue thread. Keep the CDI stock! Get a 14 tooth front sprocket to change the gearing, someone on here said it helps, Im gonna try it when I have the money to get chain and sprocket combo. Depending on where you ride you might want to get a different shifter (Ive bent two on my 2010L, stock and an MSR). Also IMMEDIATELY after you get the bike put the tire psi on the back tire to 15, trust me Ive gotten 3 flats on my 2010L before putting it on 15 psi, even with a rim lock I got a flat so make sure the psi is around 15.

all that stuff sounds cool but i say put the money towards a pipe instead of levers. ive got a 2011 L with a pct4 and love it. a pipe intake combo really opens the bike up, not to mention makes them sound sick. and definitely get a 14 tooth front sprocket. it makes the bike much easier to ride tight tracks without u feeling like ur goin to blow it up. all my buddies have the non L model and before i changed the front sprocket even with the 4th gear i couldnt hang with them top speed wise. also cradle is a must if u plan on jumping.

I think locks are only so you don't spin the tire on the rim not to prevent flats I wouldn't get em untill you bore your bike super high I wouldn't think a stock 110 with a 111cc motor would spin the tires on a rim


Rim locks are a must. At the 2-up race yesterday, during practice, I grabbed too much front-brake and ripped my stem out of my tube. It wasn't on a KLX110, but it still caused my dad and I to be in a mad-dash to get the front tube replaced before moto 1.

obviously you forgot to mention a tall bar kit.

put 20wt fork oil.

two brother's carb needle

up the main jet and possibly the pilot jet (yes, even if its stock)

rear rim lock

rear chain guide

folding longer shift lever. Rear brake lever - it seems like you're gonna have clearance problems with the over-the-top style levers. Mine is still stock.

Im not sure a rim lock is needed as long as the psi is 15 or slightly higher. I have a rim lock on my 2010 with 15 psi, but my 2011 I just put the psi up to 15 (after getting a flat and changing the tube) so I'll find out here soon, but right now Im not convinced you need a rim lock. If I ever get another 110L I think the first thing I'll do is get Excel rims and the works with new tires. Kawasaki gives you the cheapest rim, rim strip, a tube. I've gotten 4 flats (3 on the 2010, 1 on 2011) between my two bikes and the rim strips that came with the bikes both broke.Now that my psi is on 15 I have had no problems...even when I had a rim lock and had lower psi I got a flat.

I dont think the quiet insert will help that much...I have two 110L's, one with a PC t-4 the other does not. I have ridden the one with the t-4 around the yard and it doesnt sound over the top loud, but if you might have issues with your neighbors dont even waste the $200 on a pipe + $xyz for the insert.Dont risk it, because once they complain all they have to do is see you ride again and they ll complain again.

I haven't needed one on either of my front rims yet, and Im hoping I dont need one for my 2011 rear rim now that the psi is around 18. I got 4 flats now (within 8 weeks)without the tire pressure at or above 15 psi between both of my 110s. I have a motion pro rim lock on my 2010 rear rim and 15 psi now and that has worked great so far. Hoping the 18 psi on the 2011 is all I need and dont need a rim lock.
