I have a 2008 kawasaki klx 110.i am wanting to replace my stock fork springs with heavy duty ones. How do i get the old springs out?

Normally, the fork oil level is set with the spring out, and the fork fully compressed. Fill the fork to 110-120mm from the top.

Upside down
540 + 4 mL (completely dry)
Conventional
633 ± 4 mL (completely dry)

Install stiffer springs. Raise fork oil level.

Under the front of the engine, Remove skid plate, and you will see an oblong houseing held on with two bolts, remove and filter is inside. Do not overtighten when you replace... Good Luck

Depending on your size and weight, I would suggest that you obtain a set of KX65 forks, get the mod tripple clamps, and replace the whole front end. Its pricey but worth it.. look at fastminnis.com or any pitbike website for further information on klx110 mods. Good luck

The owners manual says to do the following if you don't want to remove the forks:
*raise the front wheel
*remove the fender, meter cable & unit, headlight, handle bar, fork protectors
*loosen the fork upper clamp bolts
*remove the caps from the top of the fork tube
*fully compress the fork tube so the dust cover touches the bottom and place a stand to hold it
*remove the springs
*set the oil level 68mm (standard) or 60 - 90 mm (adjustable) from the top of the tube

It may be easier to remove the tubes and you could replace the leaky seal at the same time. I did this recently and put in new springs too. It was my first time working on forks. With help from TT members and the service manual it was fairly easy. I didn't buy an oil gauge, seal driver, or spring holder. I used a ruler to measure the oil and a medicine dropper to remove any excess. For a seal driver I used a piece of PVC pipe cut in half then secured around the lower tube to drive the seal. Try a search on replacing fork seals for more info. 5w oil is standard but i have heard that 7 works well Good luck.

While sitting still the gears are not moving. This sounds like a slightly bent shift fork. In the diagram below the slider gear moves left and right to engage the gears. The gear "dogs" fit into holes cast into the stationary gears. The grinding takes place as the fork moves the slider into first gear but the dogs are not getting moved the full distance needed to fully engage the gear because of the bent fork. The center case must be split to gain access to the gears and shift forks.

A “very helpful” rating for this answer? Thanks!
