Re: New 110

I think it is cool that one ofe the big manufacters has stepped up , and built a pit bike that is ready to go out of the box , now the question is kawi the only one that will step , and will a manul clutch be legal for stock /mod at vegas?

Hmmmmm, I don't know about "ready to go out of the box" unless you weigh 100lbs or less. The suspension will need to be set up for the proper weight of an adult rider.

The stock carb and pipe will most likely suck as well...................

The carbs on Japanese bikes usually don't suck for the stock application no matter what size bike you're talking about. They might not work for a modified engine, but the carbs don't suck.

Re: New 110

klx110L looks good to me. its taller more stock suspension, electric start, 4 speed with manual clutch. it would be alot faster for the stock classes.

Re: New 110

2010 KLX110L This is from BBR

The new KLX110 walked through the door last week and it looks pretty good. There are now two KLX110s available; a standard version and a tall version with a manual clutch. Both bikes received electric starting and completely new body work. Most of the old KLX engine parts will bolt right on but the body work and suspension are another story. The swimgarm pivot bolt has been lowered to accommodate a longer shock (still horrible) which throws a wrench into installing any current swing arm kits. Also, the rear fender is part of the battery box which now sits in the middle of where any good aftermarket shock would need to go. The forks still feel like they don’t have any oil or dampening whatsoever in them. The L version (or tall bike) is pretty cool for adults. The back end is jacked up a couple of inches too tall, though. That makes the bike handle like a bad 70s vintage bike (or current knockoff bike). It is probably ok for riding around the pits with you’re favorite drink in one hand, just don’t try to rail a corner “Costella style” the way it sits. BBR will be all over this bike, and we already have tons of parts for it. Just keep checking back for more parts as we get them dialed in.

Re: New 110

I think it mostly sucks. The Estart sucks, along with the heavy battery, battery box, starter motor, and weird subframe. The only good parts are that they lowered the swingarm pivot, and it has a 1 down and three up shift pattern. The tank and shrouds look OK, but most of the bike is basically bunk as hell. --L*64

Yeah, if your going to keep the bike stock, then the stock carb would be fine. However most if not all of the people I know that would consider buying one of these bikes would at least add an aftermarket pipe.

So, if the carb on the new 110 is anything like the carb on the current 110, then like I said, it will suck.......................

Wow, that must account for hmmm... about .003% of actual klx110 buyers! Obviously Kawasaki should change the bike so that it runs like crap with the stock pipe because the carb is wrong, anticipating that everyone you know who buys one will be getting an aftermarket pipe for it.

Maybe you should expect to replace the carb when you buy an aftermarket pipe?

Hmmmm, that response is about as juvenile as your last one, complete with name calling and all. I guess childish banter is all you have to offer huh?

Well good luck with that. I'm sure your attitude will take you far in life.

Wow, sorry if my being silly toward our debate didn't carry across clearly in text. I was just having fun with it...yes, complete with name calling and all. It seemed appropriate when my logical arguments flew right by...

And thanks for the "good luck"...things are going pretty well for me so far, but it never hurts to have a little extra help!
