| Introduction |
|
| 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, thick chrome and detail touches will rock your world the
first time you lay eyeballs upon it. |

| Details & Features |
|
| 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, four valves
per cylinder, fuel-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, especially 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, the
engine pulls strongly, facilitating 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, giving
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, powerful 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, so
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, 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 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, contributing 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, efficient 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, 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
• The compact design
contributes to light handling and facilitates maneuverability at low speeds,
especially 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, powerful
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, giving 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, preventing 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, fuel gauge,
clock, odometer, dual trip meters, remaining mileage range and average fuel
consumption
• Liberal use of chrome on
the engine, fender brackets, light stays, and rear shock covers contrast nicely
with the bodywork’s deep, lustrous paint
• The sculpted shape of the
seat complements the rich visual tone of the
bodywork | | |
