We here at The Watercraft Journal have provided you with many articles and videos on intake grate manufacturers, installs and education. KSPEED makes their intake grates custom for the Kawasaki brand and Jamie Eade the owner himself released a video installing one on a 2022 Kawasaki Ultra 310 LX-S with a couple of extra tips.
In order to take off the stock intake grate, there are 6 bolts; 4 in the back and 1 in the front. Jamie recommends loosening them using a ratchet instead of electric tools so that you can feel the threads and then you can finish them off with your electric tools if you wish.
Open up your new install packet that includes installation instruction and hardware. Add a dab of blue locktite to each bolt. Slide your new KSPEED intake grate into place and insert your new Allen bolts into place. Do not reuse the stock bolts.
Just start each bolt so that it holds your intake grate, and then you can tighten the rest of the way with your electric tools. Be sure to check the tightness with your ratchet by hand to ensure everything is properly tight. If you haven’t picked up your KSPEED intake grate for the 2022+ Ultra platform, you can orders yours today HERE!
