Here we have a beautiful 2012 Kawasaki Vulcan that we took in on a trade. That bike is in great condition with no issues whatsoever. The oil was changed when we took it in and the entire bike was inspected. The bike comes with a windshield, ase guards with pegs, addle bags, ackrest, uggage rack, ider floorboard, obra passenger floorboards, nd a throttle lock! Super nice bike and cleans up extremely well. Reliable bike with great comfort and style!
A lot of bike for the money! A local trade! Great bike for long trips! Plenty of power.
The stunningly beautiful Vulcan� 1700 Classic cruiser evokes that certain feeling in riders: one that beckons you aboard with its gorgeous curves and drop-dead custom styling and says �let�s ride.� It�s beautiful from so many angles � from its raked front end to the fat rear fender complemented by a fat rear tire � exemplifying classic boulevard styling. And the deep paintwork, hick chrome and detail touches will rock your world the first time you lay eyeballs upon it.
Key Features
� Liquid-cooled 1,700cc V-twin engine produces massive torque
� Fuel injection system optimized for power in the low to mid-rpm range
� Compact frame for easy maneuverability and handling
� Electronic throttle valve system helps produce smooth power
� Adjustable rear suspension
� 9-spoke cast wheels add to the classic V-twin look and feel
� Instrumentation includes digital LCD screen that displays a wealth of information
Powerful 1,700cc V-twin engine
� Liquid cooled, our valves per cylinder, uel-injected 1,700cc 52-degree V-twin engine
� Long-stroke 102 x 104mm bore and stroke dimensions help deliver massive torque and distinctive V-twin feel
� Valve system uses a single overhead cam arrangement instead of pushrods for quick revability and enhanced mid to high-rpm power
� Semi-dry sump allows low crankshaft placement and long stroke without increasing engine height
� Single-pin crank accentuates the engine�s V-twin character by providing strong power pulses
� Large capacity airbox is located on both sides of the engine
� Small-diameter iridium sparkplugs reach deep into the combustion chamber for high combustion efficiency, specially during low-load operation
� Dual staggered mufflers offer a rich sound and stylish appearance
� Engine tuning offers superior acceleration in the 50 to 70 mph range
� Even in overdrive, he engine pulls strongly, acilitating overtaking at highway speed
Fuel Injection
� The Vulcan 1700 takes advantage of FI and exhaust tuning optimized for maximum performance in the low to mid-rpm range, iving it plenty of grunt on the boulevard
� Utilizes one sensor in place of the usual three for simplicity and light weight
� Based on the systems used by the Ninja� 650R and Vulcan 900 motorcycles
Electronic Throttle Valve System
� Fully electronic throttle actuation system enables the ECU to control the volume of intake air (via throttle valve angle) and fuel (via fuel injector timing) delivered to the engine
� Optimized fuel injector timing and throttle valve position results in accurate, owerful engine response
� Control of both fuel injection and airflow provides easy starting and precise cold-engine idle speed control
� The ETV works like a standard cable-operated throttle; the throttle grip is connected to cables, o the feel at the grip for the rider is the same
� Twisting the throttle turns a pulley on the throttle body that triggers the Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) to send a signal to the ECU, hich then modulates the throttle valves via a DC motor
� Accurate throttle position is relayed to the ECU by a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
� APS and TPS send two sets of signals to the ECU for system redundancy in the unlikely event of a sensor failure
On Board Diagnostics
� Diagnostic system allows self testing of the electronic systems on the Vulcan 1700
� Displays codes on the instrumentation that can be read by owner from the accessory manual
Six-speed Transmission / Final Drive
� 5th and 6th gear are overdrive ratios, ontributing to stress-free riding and better fuel economy when cruising at highway speeds
� 28mm carbon fiber final drive belt offers a 40 percent increase in tensile strength compared to current Kevlar belts. This allows the Vulcan 1700 to use a belt only 2mm wider than the Kevlar belt on the Vulcan 900
� Belt drive system is quiet, fficient and offers reduced maintenance compared to a chain
Light Handling Chassis
� Compact frame features a shorter wheelbase and short distance between the seat and steering head for an ideal ergonomic layout and easy maneuverability
� Light and as slim as possible, he frame minimizes the number of forged parts and trims any unnecessary metal. The only forged parts are areas that require additional strength � the down-tube joint, ngine brackets, ide-stand bracket, nd rear fender/shock absorber bracket
� The compact design contributes to light handling and facilitates maneuverability at low speeds, specially when executing precise slow-speed maneuvers like parking or making U-turns
43mm Telescopic Fork
� Provides superb steering feedback
� 5.5 inches of travel for excellent ride quality
Dual Adjustable Rear Air Shocks
� Air-adjustable spring preload can be tuned to match varying rider and passenger loads
� 4-way rebound damping adjustments help the shocks compensate for changes in spring pressure
� Chromed shock covers contribute to the bike�s luxurious finish
9-Spoke Cast Wheels
� Allow the use of tubeless tires and complement the Vulcan 1700�s muscular styling
� 130/90 front and 170/70 rear tires
� Tire choice and suspension settings selected to augment the chassis� light handling characteristics
Brakes
� Dual 300mm front and a single 300mm rear disc are squeezed by twin-piston calipers. This braking system is tuned to provide sure, owerful stops
Classic V-twin Appeal
� The line created by the top of the airbox and the cylinder heads forms a curved shape that continues to flow through the bike
� Deeply chromed engine covers have curved upper surfaces. Their three-dimensional form adds volume and gives a high quality appearance
� The edges of the cooling fins receive a special NC treatment that makes them gleam in sunlight
� All the non-chromed engine parts have a matte black finish that further accentuates the gleaming chrome
Bodywork
� The fuel tank�s hand-sculpted contours employ a constantly varying radius, iving the bike a dynamic flowing style that�s pleasing both to the eye and the touch
� The elegantly shaped fuel tank contributes to the Vulcan 1700�s curvaceous figure
� LED taillight looks elegant and provides years of trouble-free service
Instrumentation
� Ignition switch allows on-position key removal, reventing keys from scratching the instrument cluster or tank while the bike is in operation
� Turning the ignition switch collar to the �OFF� position turns the engine off and necessitates re-insertion of the key to restart
� Multi-function LCD displays on the tank-mounted instrument cluster are controlled by switches on the right handlebar. Features include a gear-position indicator, uel gauge, lock, dometer, ual trip meters, emaining mileage range and average fuel consumption
� Liberal use of chrome on the engine, ender brackets, ight stays, nd rear shock covers contrast nicely with the bodywork�s deep, ustrous paint
� The sculpted shape of the seat complements the rich visual tone of the bodywork
