Most Important & Common Want-to-Know Information about the CRF 110
CRF 110 Horsepower
Even though it’s a kid’s bike (yes, even Honda says on their site that it’s a youth bike), adult riders, specifically pit bike riders, still want to know how much horsepower a CRF 110 has.
A parent might want to get a CRF110 for their child might also want to know the CRF110 HP to make sure it isn’t too fast for their kid to ride.
The CRF110 horsepower is about 7 hp.
Check out how this horsepower translates into CRF110 top speed.
Honda CRF110 Carburetor or Fuel Injection
The CRF 110 is fuel injected.
Yep, that’s right. A 110 pit bike is fuel injected.
We’d argue this is the biggest reason that Honda has become so popular in the pit bike racing world recently. Whether it makes an actual performance difference is up for debate, but there’s no arguing that it’s pretty neat to see fuel injection in the most popular pit bike size.
For a parent looking to buy a CRF110 for their child to ride, this isn’t too big of a deal. It may make the bike easier to maintain and ride as you don’t have to deal with tuning carburetors and the power delivery is more consistent.
But, if it does break, fuel injection systems and related parts can be more difficult to fix than a simple old-school carburetor.
Electric Start or Kick
The fuel injection was a bit of a surprise, but this shouldn’t be – the CRF110 is electric. It does have a kicker installed from Honda in case the electric start isn’t working and you need to kickstart it.
CRF110 Oil
Honda recommends the CRF 110 engine oil to be 10W-30. The engine oil capacity is 1.1 quarts for just changing the oil.
Wheels and Tires
The CRF110 comes stock with a 15-inch front wheel and a 12-inch rear wheel. The front tire is 70/100-14 and the rear tire is 80/100-12.
CRF 110 Weight
A CRF 110 weighs 169 pounds, including all fluids and a full tank of fuel.
CRF 110 Suspension
The front forks of the CRF 110 are 31.0mm telescopic forks with 3.9 inches of travel and the rear shock is a single shock with 3.8 inches of travel.
For children, or an adult just riding in the backyard, this stock suspension is fine. It’s nothing special, but it will get the job done.
For pit bike racers, you’re going to need to upgrade this suspension right away. You’ll likely want to consider BBR dampening rods and springs in the front forks and either a BBR stiff spring for the rear shock or an aftermarket shock like an Elka.
Another part pit bike racers, or anyone who is going to ride the bike hard, should add right away is a skid plate. A rock can fly up underneath the bike and crack the engine cases without a skid plate — that’s an expensive fix…
CRF 110 Seat Height
The Honda CRF 110 seat height is 25.9 inches.
Brakes
Similar to almost all Japanese 110cc pit bikes, the CRF110 comes stock with 95mm single-leading-shoe drum brakes in the front and rear.
Chinese pit bikes, like a Kayo dirt bike or an XPro dirt bike, often come with disc brakes stock. These seem like an upgrade, but the quality just isn’t there. I’d prefer drum brakes from a Japanese dirt bike manufacturer over disc brakes from a Chinese manufacturer.
Honda CRF110 Overview
Honda dirt bikes have always been one of the most beloved brands with the most devoted fans. Add in the fact that they were the first major manufacturer to include fuel injection in a 110cc pit bike and the craze for Honda, at least in the pit bike world, exploded.
The fuel injection in the CRF 110 isn’t the first time Honda has been early to the game. Did you know Honda was actually one of the first dirt bikes, or do you know what CRF stands for?
Honda dirt bikes are popular because they’ve historically been some of the most reliable machines you can buy. Not just dirt bikes, but all Honda machines – cars, motorcycles, etc.
This leads to more fun riding and less frustration and repair/parts costs. That’s happiness to a parent’s ears.
If you’re a racer, you’ll love the performance mods available for this machine from CJR Performance.
