Kawasaki FX691V 

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 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 : 

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 clips from each side of the fuel filter

and remove the fuel filter.

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

the old and place clips back into place and

remove clamps.

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) 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.

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

1) Remove the wire on the spark plug and use a

13/16" 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 it 16

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