Bike used KLX 110


Tools needed:
8mm socket with extension
16mm open end wrench
9mm open end wrench
8mm open end wrench
Feeler gauge
Flat head screw driver (Aftermarket style head)
Needle nose pliers (Stock style head)



Step 1
Remove the four 8mm cam cover bolts using the 8mm socket with extension. Inspect the O-ring for damage, replace if necessary.



Step 2
Use an 8mm open end wrench to remove the left bolt from the upper tappet cover. Use the 8mm socket to remove the right side bolt. Inspect the O-ring for damage, replace if necessary



Step 3
Use your 8mm socket with extension to remove the two bolts from the lower tappet cover. Inspect the O-ring for damage, replace if necessary



Step 4
Set the motor at top dead center by using a 16mm open end wrench. Turn the sprocket counterclockwise until the T marked on the cam sprocket lines up with the bolt hole and casting projection mark inside the head.



Step 5
To adjust the valve clearances, loosen the adjusting screw locknut with a 9 mm open end wrench.


Step 6
Insert the feeler gauge between the adjusting screw and the valve stem. If the clearance is too loose/tight turn the adjusting screw until there is a light drag on the feeler gauge.

Intake/Exhaust valve specification: .002 – .005

Hold the adjusting screw with the pair of needle nose pliers. Tighten the locknut with a 9 mm wrench. Make sure it doesn't interfere with the adjustment. Be careful when tightening the locknut making sure not to turn the adjuster screw. Always recheck the clearance after tightening the locknut.



Step 7A (Aftermarket style head)
