Review

The 2012 Kawasaki KLX 110L is a small-displacement off-road motorcycle designed for younger riders and those new to the sport. Building on the popular KLX 110, the "L" model offered a slightly taller seat height and longer travel suspension. It directly competes with models like the Honda CRF110F and Yamaha TT-R110E, all aiming to provide an accessible entry point into the world of dirt biking.

Powering the 2012 KLX 110L is an air-cooled, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 111.0 ccm (6.77 cubic inches). This compact powerplant provides manageable power for beginner riders. The fuel capacity is 3.79 litres (1.00 US gallons), which allows for a decent amount of riding time before needing to refuel, important for longer off-road sessions. While not a powerhouse, the engine is known for its reliability and ease of maintenance, making it a good choice for learning the fundamentals of throttle control and gear shifting.

The KLX 110L's riding position is upright and comfortable, suitable for learning proper technique. The seat height is 729 mm (28.7 inches), a slightly taller stance compared to the base KLX 110, offering more legroom for slightly larger riders. The suspension is tuned to absorb bumps and provide a smooth ride on varied terrain, making it forgiving for novice riders who are still developing their skills. It is easy to handle and lightweight, contributing to rider confidence.

The 2012 Kawasaki KLX 110L is targeted towards young riders transitioning from smaller machines or adults new to off-road motorcycling. Its manageable power, durable construction, and user-friendly design make it a solid choice for learning the ropes. While it might not offer the most thrilling experience for seasoned riders, it provides a fantastic platform to develop essential skills and enjoy the fun of off-road riding in a safe and controlled manner.

Pros (Advantages)

✅ Why buy this bike?

• Reliable and forgiving 112cc engine is perfect for beginners learning throttle control and basic riding skills. • Low seat height (28.7 inches) inspires confidence for shorter riders and makes it easy to mount and dismount. • Automatic clutch simplifies operation, allowing new riders to focus on balance and steering without clutch coordination. • Durable steel frame and robust suspension components can withstand the rigors of off-road riding and learner mistakes. • Relatively lightweight (167.5 lbs) makes it manageable for younger or smaller riders to maneuver and pick up. • Simple air-cooled engine design reduces maintenance complexity and enhances overall reliability for worry-free ownership.
👎
Cons (Disadvantages)

⚠️ Things to consider

• Limited suspension travel (5.5 inches front, 5.4 inches rear) can become overwhelmed on rougher terrain or larger jumps. • Low power output restricts its suitability for experienced riders or tackling challenging obstacles and steep inclines. • Drum brakes offer less stopping power compared to disc brakes, especially in wet or muddy conditions, reducing rider confidence. • Basic instrumentation lacks features like a speedometer or odometer, hindering tracking of speed and distance covered. • Small fuel tank capacity (1.0 gallon) results in frequent refueling stops during extended riding sessions.
