2007 Kawasaki Vulcan® 900 Classic

41 mm Front Fork

• Excellent rigidity and 5.9 inches of travel
• 32 degrees rake angle for excellent straight line ability
• Wide fork pitch for classic look

Additional Features:

• Curved engine fins add visual interest to the traditional look of the big, fuel-injected V-twin, while the four valves per cylinder, liquid-cooled reliability, and smooth highway cruising aided by the engine’s counter balancer make this a worthy rival its competition.
• The Vulcan 900 features belt drive that not only keeps the overall weight down, but also improves rear-end styling and provides the rider with additional customizing opportunities. With the largest rear tire in its class providing a beefy, “big bike” look and a single-pin crankshaft helping to produce a guttural, classic V-twin sound, the Vulcan 900 EVOkes the feel of a much larger motorcycle.
• The Vulcan 900’s look and feel need not exclude any potential rider. The low seat height makes it accessible to shorter riders and its tapered seat flows comfortably into the large capacity fuel tank and lower chassis rails to provide a narrowed shape, for an effortless reach to the pavement.
• At home, around town or when the open road calls it, this motorcycle is built for hour upon hour of riding pleasure. The wide handlebars offer an ideal relationship between the seat and floorboarDual Sport, making for an extremely comfortable mount. The ergonomically designed front bucket seat is comfortable enough for any distance, and the rear pillion pad makes it effortless to share the two-wheeled experience with a friend.
• Some of the other features that make it so appealing to such a wide audience are a fork offset and rake designed for light, low-effort handling when maneuvering at low, in-town speeDual Sport. Similar to the Vulcan 2000, the 900 is equipped with an auto-fast idle system, featuring an rpm feedback relay that helps ensure a fixed engine speed in all starting conditions. Easy-to-control fuel-injection makes ultra-low speed riding surprisingly easy, while abundant low-rpm torque provides thrilling roll-on acceleration.
• Available in four color selections—New Candy Caribbean Blue, Candy Cardinal Red, Metallic Titanium, and Ebony—the Vulcan 900 Classic offers stylish aesthetics in a platform that’s perfect for customization with Kawasaki accessories.

Belt Drive

• More efficient so more power reaches the rear wheel
• Low maintenance and low noise

Concealed Automatic Cam Chain Tensioner

• Maintains precise valve timing with maintenance
• Assures greater reliability
• Hidden from view to preserve the engine’s clean, basic look

Custom Spoke Wheels

Dual Slash-Cut Mufflers

• Big slash-cut mufflers look great and contain honeycomb catalyzers to reduce emissions

Electronic Fuel Injection

• Dual throttle bodies with sub throttles provide optimum performance and rideability
• The sub throttles, located behind the main throttle valve, are controlled by the ECU so that the DFI system retains more precise throttle response, similar to a constant velocity carburetor

• Provides maximum valve area for optimum flow
• Single overhead cam design is simple, lightweight and practical
• Extremely efficient intake tracts feature ports that narrow near the combustion chamber to increase intake flow speed for more efficient filling and increased torque
• Long intake tracts for great low-end response

Front and Rear Disc Brakes

• A 272 mm front and 242 mm rear disc have twin-piston calipers for some of the best stopping power in the class

Liquid and Air Cooling

• Finned cylinders and head combine with liquid cooling to provide exception thermal control
