The air cleaner is the engine’s only defense against 
damaging foreign particles. It is very important that 
the air cleaner element is inspected prior to each 
use. Remove the element and tap its sides in order 
to remove debris. Do not blow the filter out using 
compressed air. Doing so will greatly reduce the air 
cleaner’s effectiveness. Replace yearly; more often 
in  dusty environments. Adhering to these practices 
will help prevent loss of power and premature 
engine failure. 

3.3 Changing the air cleaner:

1) Unlock the air cleaner cover and remove

to access the air cleaner.

2) Remove the paper element and pre-

cleaner.

3) Replace or wash pre-cleaner in warm

water with detergent. Rinse and allow to

air dry.

4) Lightly oil pre-cleaner with new engine oil;

squeeze out excess oil.

5) Replace paper element and place pre-

cleaner onto new paper element.

6) Install onto base and place cover back on

and lock into place.

3.4 Changing the spark plugs and checking the spark plug gap: 

1) Remove the wire on the spark plug

and use a 5/8” socket to remove the
spark plug.

2) Check the gap on the spark plug to

verify that it is 0.03 in using a feeler
gauge.

3) If the spark plug is worn, overheated,

wet or carbon fouled replace the
spark plug.

4) Install the plug into cylinder head and

torque to 20 ft-lbs. Be careful not to
overtighten the spark plug.

Kawasaki FX730V 

This machine has an oil drain hose installed 
on the engine to allow for easier oil changes. 
Bad Boy  recommends that the oil and filter 
be changed after the initial 8 hrs of use, and 
at intervals of 50 usage hours or yearly, 
whichever occurs first after that. The oil 
capacity is 2 quarts. Bad Boy 10W-30 
synthetic blend engine oil is recommended for 
maximum protection.

 

3.1 Changing your engine oil and oil filter:

 

1) Remove oil dipstick and open oil drain

using a 10 mm socket or a flat head

screwdriver until oil begins flowing.

Allow oil to completely drain. (Make

sure to have an oil pan ready to

capture old oil and properly dispose old

oil.)

2) The oil filter is located on the right side

of the engine. Clean area around oil

filter. Place a container under the oil

filter to capture any oil and remove

filter. Wipe off mounting surface and

reinstall drain plug. Torque to 10 ft*lb.

3) Place new filter in shallow pan with

open end up. Fill with new oil until oil

reaches the bottom of the threads.

Allow 2 minutes for oil to be absorbed by

filter material.

4) Apply a thin film of clean oil to rubber

gasket on new filter

5) Refer to instructions on oil filter for proper

installation.

6) Fill crankcase with approximately 2 quarts

of new oil. Level should top of indicator on

dipstick.

7) Reinstall oil fill/dipstick and tighten

securely.

8) Start engine; check for oil leaks. Stop

Engine; correct oil leaks. Recheck oil level

9) Dispose of used oil and filter in

accordance with local ordinances.

The fuel filter is located in the fuel line on the left side of 
the engine by the starter motor. Replace the filter yearly. 
Prior to the removal of the old filter, note the direction of 
fuel flow as indicated on the filter. Have towels readily 
available in order to quickly remove any fuel leakage. 
Always use new hose clamps and ensure the security of 
the new filter by lightly pulling on each hose. Always 
perform maintenance outdoors or in a well ventilated 
area. Do not smoke or allow any open flames in the 
vicinity of any maintenance activities. 

3.2 Changing your fuel filter: 

The air cleaner is the engines only defense against 
damaging foreign particles. It is very important that the 
air cleaner element is inspected prior to each use. 
Remove the element and tap its sides in order to remove 
debris. Do not blow the filter out using compressed air. 
Doing so will greatly reduce the air cleaner’s 
effectiveness. Replace yearly; more often in dusty 
environments. Adhering to these practices will help 
prevent loss of power and premature engine failure. 

3.3 Changing the air cleaner: 

1)

Locate the air filter and unbuckle the air filter
cover.

2)

Remove the cover and take out the outer white
element and the inner blue element.

3)

Clean or replace elements.

4)

Reattach the cover making sure the air intake
is facing down.

1) Locate your fuel filter and mark the direction it is

facing.

2) Clamp each side of the fuel filter to minimize any gas

spills.

3) Remove the clops from each side of the fuel filter and

remove the filter.

4) Place the new fuel filter in the same direction as the

old one and place the clips back into place and

remove clamps.
