Optional supplementary plans offer a max of 48 additional months of Kawasaki's Protection Plus coveragebumping the total possible warranty to an amazing SIX YEARS!Adjustable Wind screenHandlebar-mounted and optically correct, the adjustable wind screenis shaped for optimum airflow management without compromising the Nomad's cruiser styling Strong, chrome-plated steel supports Two-position height Sub-windshield and deflectors further increase wind protection The sub-windshield covers the area between the windshield and headlamp when the windshield is in the raised position, while fork-mounted deflectors help direct air away from the rider's legsTouring Seats and Passenger back rest Sculpted rider and passenger seats offer all-day comfort and support Sturdy backrest with integrated passenger grab bars contributes to passenger confidence Passenger floorboards add extra comfort to the 2-up equationHard, Lockable Side Cases The Nomad features hard, lockable, top-opening side cases that each provide ten gallons (38L) of sealed storage space for overnight touring Front and rear guards help protect the bike's engine and hard side cases in the event of a tip-over Helmet locks are conveniently located on the left- and right-side saddlebag guardsPowerful 1,700cc V-twin engine Liquid-cooled, 4 valves per cylinder, fuel-injected 1,700cc 52-degree V-twin engine Long-stroke 102 x 104mm bore and stroke helps deliver high levels of torque with a distinct V-twin feel Valve system uses a single overhead camshaft arrangement instead of pushrods for quicker revving and enhanced mid-high rpm power Semi-dry sump design allows a lower crankshaft placement and a longer piston stroke without increasing engine height Single-pin crank accentuates the engine's V-twin character by providing stronger 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 Dual mufflers, 1 on each side of the bike, allow max clearance for luggage Engine tuning offers superior acceleration in the 50 to 70 mph range Even in overdrive, the engine pulls strongly in this speed range, facilitating overtaking at highway speedsDigital Fuel Injection The touring-oriented Nomad utilizes DFI and exhaust systems tuned to reach peak torque and horsepower at a higher rpm than the engines pre-owned in standard Vulcan 1700 cruisersOn Board Diagnostics Onboard diagnostic system allows self-testing of the electronic systems on the Vulcan 1700 System displays codes on the instrumentation, which can be read by owner using accessory manualElectronic 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, powerful engine response Control of both fuel injection and airflow provides easy starting and precise cold-engine idle speed control From the rider's perspective, the ETV works like a standard cable-operated throttle; the throttle grip is still 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 failureCruise Control Cruise control can be engaged and adjusted entirely from the right handlebar Cruise control 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 will automatically disengage the cruise control, as will manually rolling off the throttleSix-speed Transmission / Final Drive 6 gear transmission with positive neutral finder fifth and sixth are overdrive gears for excellent fuel economy when cruising at highway speeds 28mm carbon fiber final drive belt has a tensile strength that's 40 percent greater compared to current Kevlar belts, allowing the Vulcan 1700 to use a slim belt only 2mm wider than the Kevlar unit on the Vulcan 900 Belt drive system is quiet, efficient and offers reduced maintenance compared to a chainLight Handling Chassis The frame features a short wheelbase for optimal ergonomics and easy maneuverability Lightweight and slim, the 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, engine brackets, side-stand bracket, and rear fender/shock absorber bracket This compact design contributes to light handling and facilitates low-speed handling, especially maneuvers such as parking or U-turns43mm Telescoping Fork Provides superb steering feedback 5.5ins of travel for fantastic ride quality Optimized damping and spring settings for a plush but controlled rideDual Adjustable Rear Air Shocks Air-adjustable shocks can be tuned to match varying rider and passenger loads 4-way rebound damping adjustments help the shocks compensate for changes in spring pressure Chrome shock covers contribute to the bike'
