DescriptionHead-turning Looks Miles of AttitudeWho says you can’t have a well-deserved attitude and still be practical? Owners of a Vulcan® 1700 Vaquero® bagger have the best of both worlds. The traffic stopping good looks will make you smile every time you throw a leg over this blacked beauty. A frame-mounted abbreviated fairing sets the stage while the swoopy tank leads the eye to the shapely luggage of this V-twin bagger. The multi-textured blacked-out engine and chassis treatment includes components (like the air-cleaner cover wheels fork assembly and tank cover) that would normally be chromed leaving only a special few parts (engine guards exhaust mirrors etc.) to receive plating and act as bright accents to either the Metallic Flat Spark Black or Two-tone Candy Burnt Orange (SE model) paint.SpecsManufacturerKawasakiModel Year2014ModelVulcan® 1700 Vaquero® ABS SEStarting at MSRP$18699.00*DimensionsLength98.8 in.Height50.8 in.Width38.2 in.WeightCurb: 835.7 lbs.Ground Clearance5.7 in.Wheelbase65.6 in.Seat Height28.7 in.EngineEngine4-stroke SOHC 4-valves per cylinder 52° V-twinDisplacement103.7 ci (1700 cc)Bore x Stroke102 x 104 mmTorque108 ft. lbs. @ 2750 rpmCompression Ratio9.5:1Fuel SystemDFI® with (2) 42 mm throttle bodiesFuel Tank Capacity5.3 gal.IgnitionTCBI with digital advanceCoolingLiquid plus cooling finsDrivetrainTransmission6-speed with overdrive and positive neutral finderFinal DriveBeltBrakes/Wheels/TiresBrakesFront: (2) 300 mm discs (2) 2-piston calipersRear: (1) 300 mm disc 2-piston caliperTiresFront: 130/90x16Rear: 170/70x16OperationalFrameSteel double-cradle with box-section single-tube backboneSuspensionFront: 45 mm hydraulic fork;

the throttle grip remains connected to cables so the feel at the grip is the sameTwisting the throttle turns a pulley on the throttle body which triggers the Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) to send a signal to the ECU which then modulates the throttle valves via a DC motorAccurate throttle position is relayed to the ECU by a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)APS and TPS send 2 sets of signals to the ECU for system redundancy in the unlikely event of a sensor failureElectronic Cruise Control SystemSystem maintains a desired speed even on uphill climbsCruise control can be engaged and adjusted entirely from the right handlebarCruise system can be activated in 3rd gear or above at any speed between 30 mph and 85 mphPressure on the brake lever clutch lever or rear brake pedal automatically disengages the cruise control as does manually rolling off the throttleOn Board DiagnosticsDiagnostic system allows self-testing of the electronic systems on the Vulcan 1700System displays codes on the instrumentation which can be read by owner6-speed Transmission / Final DriveDurable and easy-shifting 6-speed transmission with positive neutral finder5th and 6th are overdrive gears for excellent fuel economy when cruising at highway speedsCarbon fiber-reinforced final drive belt offers a 40 percent increase in tensile strength compared to current Kevlar beltsBelt drive system is quiet efficient and offers reduced maintenance compared to a chainChassisThe strong steel frame allows a relatively short wheelbase for optimal ergonomics and easy maneuverabilityThe Vaquero frame minimizes the number of forged parts and trims any unnecessary metal to help keep weight in check.
