What Buyers Should Know
Clutchless 4-speed, dual starting
The TT-R110E uses an automatic centrifugal clutch with a 4-speed gearbox, so there's no clutch lever for kids to master, and it has both electric start and a backup kickstarter. An adjustable throttle limiter screw lets parents dial power down as skills grow.
Tough engine, fussy carb
The air-cooled SOHC 110cc motor is famously durable and rarely needs more than oil and valve checks, but the small Mikuni carb gums up quickly on ethanol fuel left over winter — hard starting or no idle usually means a $30 clean, not a big repair. Also check the battery and starter clutch, as weak electric starts are the most common complaint.
Excellent resale, inspect abuse
Kid-sized Yamahas hold value exceptionally well, often selling for 60–70% of original MSRP a decade later, so don't expect a bargain on a clean one. Before buying, look for a bent subframe or fork tubes, chewed plastic case saver, rounded axle nuts, and a sloppy rear drum brake from years of jumps and neglected chain tension.
