The muscular engine utilizes an overhead cam to help boost acceleration, while the long-stroke design helps deliver more torque and horsepower. The Vulcan 1700 Classic is also fitted with Kawasaki's first fully electronic throttle valve (ETV) system that provides better performance, throttle response and increased fuel mileage. [. . . ] * Dual primary engine balancers and rubber engine mounts help isolate high-frequency vibration while providing the rider with the core power-pulse feeling of the muscular engine. * Single-pin crankshaft for that classic V-twin rumble and characteristic pulse. * A cam damper mounted to the end of the crankshaft protects the drive train by damping large torque fluctuations yet helps emphasise the pleasant torque pulse. 4-Valve Cylinder Head Overhead cam with hydraulic valve lash adjusters for performance and ease of maintenance. Digital Fuel Injection * Dual 42mm throttle bodies with Atomising Fuel Injectors produce a fine fuel mist for better combustion and fuel consumption. * Using a cable-operated APS eliminates expensive switch housing electronics that can be damaged and costly to replace should the motorcycle get tipped on its right side. TCBI with Digital Advance * Microprocessor controlled timing provides precise engine management. Dual Slash-Cut Mufflers * Big slash-cut mufflers look great and contain honeycomb catalysers to reduce emissions. 6-Speed Transmission * Overdrive 5th-6th gear reduces rpm at higher speeds and helps increase fuel mileage. * Gear position sensor communicates with the ECU to help reduce fuel consumption and adjust timing to provide better power feeling, and an indicator on the speedometer allows the rider to monitor current gear position at a glance. Belt Drive * Lower unsprung weight than shaft drive to improve ride quality and suspension action. * Carbon fiber belt provides much more strength than Kevlar while allowing the belt to be narrower. * More efficient so more power reaches the rear wheel. * Low maintenance and low noise. Frame * Large steel box-section backbone frame is very rigid and helps contribute to high stability and lightweight handling at low speeds. * Shorter wheelbase than the Vulcan 1600 and 2000 models add to the Vulcan 1700's low-speed agility. * Low profile reduces seat height for an easier reach to the ground. * Compact but not cramped riding position. * Tank, seat, fenders and details designed with a classic 1960`s feel. * Adjustable front brake and clutch levers and master cylinders enhance rider comfort and styling. Front Forks * Large inner tubes, wide pitch and low offset for rigidity and stability. [. . . ] * An evolution of the system first seen on the 2009 Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS, this 2nd generation system makes use of a smaller, lighter K-ACT ABS unit and a higher spec ECU capable of more calculations resulting in even smoother operation. * Improved heat management with a revised front header piper exhaust cover and hot air heat guide plate behind the radiator. * 2nd Generation K-ACT ABS more compact with higher specs for smoother operation. * New colour: Ebony See the current applicable Kawasaki accessory catalog or www. kawasaki. com. au for all of the latest Authentic Kawasaki Accessories available for this model. for 2010 Authentic Kawasaki Accessories Classic Styling * LED taillight provides excellent visibility when activated, and makes a strong visual statement with chrome surround.
