Owners of a Vulcan 1700 Vaquero bagger have the best of both worlds. The traffic stopping attractive 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. Key Features Blacked-out looks accentuate the lines and body shapes through the use of varied surface texture and subtle, contrasting highlights Sporty, one-piece saddle with low seat height emphasizes the classic, long, low bagger look Muscle car inspired instrumentation delivers essential details with style Powerful 1,700cc V-twin delivers impressive levels of torque and immediate passing power 6 gear transmission for effortless acceleration and relaxed cruising at highway speeds Electronic throttle actuation system combines optimized injector timing for throttle valve position, delivering accurate, powerful engine performance Kawasaki's sophisticated K-ACT II ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM system builds rider confidence by helping execute controlled, balanced braking Electronic cruise control maintains speed and reduces rider fatigue on long trips Stylish, frame-mounted fairing keeps steering feel light by directing aerodynamic forces into the chassis Feature-rich, AM/FM/WB audio system with iPod and XM radio compatibility is standard equipment Twin tapered mufflers maximize saddlebag capacity and improve the engine's power delivery Includes a 36 mon limited factory warranty. Optional supplementary plans offer a max of 36 additional months of Kawasaki's Protection Plus coveragebumping the total possible warranty to an amazing SIX YEARS!Powerful 1,700cc V-twin engine Fuel-injected 52-degree 1,700cc V-twin is liquid-cooled and features 4 valves per cylinder Long-stroke 102 x 104mm bore and stroke dimensions deliver high torque levels with a powerful and distinct V-twin feel Valve-actuation system uses a single overhead camshaft arrangement instead of pushrods for quicker revving and enhanced mid-high rpm power Semi-dry sump design allows lower crankshaft positioning and a longer piston stroke without increasing engine height Single-pin crankshaft 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, especially during low-load operation Engine tuning, combined with long-stroke design, offers superior acceleration in the 50-70 mph range Even in overdrive (fifth and sixth gear) the engine pulls strongly, making highway passing easierDigital Fuel Injection The touring-oriented Vaquero utilizes DFI and an exhaust system tuned to reach peak torque and horsepower at a higher rpm than the engines pre-owned in standard Vulcan 1700 cruisersElectronic 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 injector timing and throttle valve position results in accurate, powerful engine response Control of both injection and airflow provides easy starting and precise cold-engine idle speed control From the rider's perspective, the ETV system works like a standard cable-operated throttle; the throttle grip remains connected to cables, so the feel at the grip is the same Twisting 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 motor Accurate 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 System System maintains a desired speed even on uphill climbs Cruise control can be engaged and adjusted entirely from the right handlebar Cruise system can be activated in third gear or above at any speed between 30 mph and 85 mph Pressure on the brake lever, clutch lever or rear brake pedal automatically disengages the cruise control, as does manually rolling off the throttleOn Board Diagnostics Diagnostic system allows self-testing of the electronic systems on the Vulcan 1700 System displays codes on the instrumentation, which can be read by owner6-speed Transmission / Final Drive Durable and easy-shifting 6 gear transmission with positive neutral finder fifth and sixth are overdrive gears for excellent fuel economy when cruising at highway speeds Carbon fiber-reinforced final drive belt offers a 40 percent increase in tensile strength compared to current Kevlar belts Belt drive system is quiet, efficient and offers reduced maintenance compared to a chainChassis The strong steel frame allows a relatively short wheelbase for optimal ergonomics and easy maneuverability The Vaquero frame minimizes the number of forged parts and trims any unnecessary metal to help keep weight in check. The only forged parts are areas that require additional strength: the down-tube joint, engine brackets, side-stand bracket and rear fender/shock absorber bracket45mm Telescoping Fork Provides superb steering feedback 5.5 ins of travel for terrific ride quality Optimized damping and spring settings for a plush but controlled rideDual Air-adjustable Rear Shocks Air-adjustable shocks can be tuned to match varying rider and passenger loads 4-way rebound damping adjustability helps the shocks compensate for changes in spring pressure9-Spoke Cast Aluminum Wheels Light and strong wheels allow the use of tubeless tires, while flat black paint nicely complements the Vaquero's styling treatment Fat and long-wearing 130/90 front and 170/70 rear tires Tire choice and suspension settings augment the chassis' light handling characteristicsStyling and Bodywork Basic engine architecture supports the Vaquero's factory-custom look, while its blacked-out color with machined and bare-aluminum accents sets off the bike's color scheme Gloss and matte finishes on the engine highlight aesthetics even further Hand-formed body shapes create a highly customized appearance Many of the parts are exclusive to the Vaquero, which add to its factory-custom look and feel. These include the engine shrouds, rear fender, one-piece side covers, saddlebags, fairing and seat Cut-down fairing looks like a true custom piece, right down to the abbreviated smoked wind screenand headlamp cover Sculpted strut covers seamlessly fill the space between
