Specifications for a 2006 Kawasaki KLX 110

Deciding on a dirt bike can mean the difference between waiting for help in the woods and covering miles of rough terrain with a smile on your face. The 2006 Kawasaki KLX 110 is built for the younger rider and even has an adjustable throttle limiter so parents can limit kids' speed. This is a durable four-stroke that's perfect for new riders or those looking for a small dirt bike.

  1. Function

    • The 2006 Kawasaki KLX 110 is a user-friendly 111cc, air cooled, two-valve, four-stroke bike capable of delivering a range of power depending on the screw-controlled throttle limiter setting. A great choice for motorcycle-minded parents who want to get their kids involved in their two-wheeled passion. The Kawasaki KLX 110 is comparable to riding a bicycle with training wheels because of the speed limiter and centrifugal clutch.

    Identification

    • Designed for youth or brand new dirt bike riders, the 2006 Kawasaki KLX 110 retailed at release for $1,699 but it has undoubtedly come down in price since new models have been released. If parent-friendly dirt bikes exist, this one would get the mom sign of approval because of the speed limiter. As the new rider becomes more comfortable with the set speed, the screw-type limiter can be adjusted for the next level of performance.

    Significance

    • An easy to operate semi-automatic, three-speed transmission complete with centrifugal clutch leaves room for a new rider to focus on the basics of getting through a trail, maneuvering turns and staying upright without the risk of crashing or stalling due to clutch error. Taking focus off shifting and accelerating speeds the dirt bike learning curve. Lowering risk of injury with the speed limiter and simple-to-use shifter keeps kids on the track instead of at the doctor's office.

    Features

    • The 2006 Kawasaki KLX 110 is powered by a Keihin carbureted single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine kept cool from the air rushing in while riding. The front and rear brake are mechanical drum, which helps to slow the 2.50-inch by 14-inch front tire and 3-inch by 12-inch rear tire. The swing arm has a single hydraulic shock and to the front is a 30-mm hydraulic telescopic fork to keep the ride smoother over rough terrain and small jumps.

    Considerations

    • The 110cc dirt bike class is wide and includes a long list of youth-oriented motorcycles from every one of the major manufactures (Honda, Suzuki, KTM and Yamaha). Considering each of the options available within a set price range will lead to the smartest buying decision. The 2006 Kawasaki KLX 110 has a long list of safety features for parents interested in teaching their kids to ride dirt bikes.
