2010 VULCAN 1700 VOYAGER ABS
The Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS takes its place as Kawasaki’s agship
touring cruiser. Not only is it equipped with full touring amenities
like a large frame-mounted front fairing and windshield, leg shields,
ample storage, audio system and six-speed transmission with
overdrive, but it has high-tech features like Kawasaki’s rst fully
electronic throttle valve system with electronic cruise control. Fitted
with an advanced ABS system with Kawasaki Advanced Coactivebraking Technology (K-ACT) that electronically controls brake force
distribution between the front and rear brakes to enhance overall
braking performance. The new Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS is designed
for riders who set their sights beyond the horizon.
50° V-Twin Engine
* Long stroke, liquid-cooled, SOHC muscular engine designed to
deliver high levels of torque and raw power.
* Liquid-cooled A/C generator reduces the temperature of generator
stator coils and thus increases output to handle additional
accessories.
* Semi-dry sump design reduces overall engine height and keeps
excess oil away from the crank to prevent power-robbing stirring loss.
Oil is stored in the transmission, which eliminates the need for an
oil tank. Triple oil pumps (2 scavenge and 1 feed pump) help reduce
stirring loss and provide superb oil circulation.
* Water jackets surround only the top quarter of the cylinders and
the polished-edge ns match the cylinder heads while attractively
tapering to the cylinder bases.
* High-performance forged pistons are lightweight, stronger and
more heat resistant than cast versions. Oil jets help cool the pistons
for added durability.
* 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 uctuations yet helps emphasise
the pleasant torque pulse.
Electronic Throttle Valve (ETV)
The throttle pulley operates an acceleration position sensor (APS)
that uses the ECU to send a signal to a small motor that actually
operates the throttle valves. This makes throttle pull very light for
reduced rider fatigue and the more precise throttle control results in
better performance, smoother running and increased fuel mileage.
* 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.
Electronic Cruise
Control
* Works in conjunction with the ETV to automatically maintain a set speed when in third gear or higher and when travelling
between 50 and 125 kph.
* Convenient controls located within easy thumb reach on the right
handlebar.
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
ne fuel mist for better combustion and fuel consumption.
TCBI with Digital Advance
* Microprocessor controlled timing provides precise engine
management.
Dual Slash-Cut Mufers
* Big slash-cut mufers look great and contain honeycomb catalysers
to reduce emissions.
6-Speed Transmission
* Overdrive 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 ber belt provides much more strength than Kevlar while
allowing the belt to be narrower.
* More efcient 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 prole reduces seat height for an easier reach to the ground.
* Compact but not cramped riding position.
Front Forks
* Large inner tubes, wide pitch and low offset for rigidity and
stability.
* Steering lock incorporated into ignition switch secures the front
forks.
Dual Air-Assisted Rear Shocks
* Air shocks provide a wide range of adjustment to match the load or
riding preference.
* Special spring rates to match the increased weight of the trunk and
saddlebags.
Generation II K-ACT ABS
Triple Disc Brakes
* Generation II K-ACT is lighter and more compact and the
brake ECU uses a faster processor for improved braking
performance.
K-ACT (Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology) ABS
enables riders to execute controlled, balanced braking. Designed
to complement riders’ applied brake force, K-ACT ABS ensures ideal
brake force distribution to maximise braking efciency.
* K-ACT ABS also incorporates an anti-lock braking function to help
prevent the wheels from locking up during hard braking in a straight
line for enhance control.
* Dual 300mm front discs and a single 300mm rear disc stop with
authority.
* For maximum controllability in tight corners or when making
U-turns, K-ACT does not engage when braking is initiated at speeds
below 20 kph. The ABS disengages at speeds below 6 kph.
* Generation II K-ACT is lighter and more compact and the
brake ECU uses a faster processor.
Large Front Fairing
* Large front fairing and windshield help block the wind for increased
rider comfort.
*The fairing is mounted to the frame to help maintain light steering.
* Retro-style dashboard is located within the fairing with a 1960sstyle speedometer and digital audio system display.
* Leg shields on the front engine guards minimise wind on the rider’s
legs. Adjustable air intakes allow the rider to control the amount of
air reaching the legs for added touring comfort.

Electric Speedometer
* Thin, integrated instrument package provides less protrusion from
the top of the tank.
* Electric design reduces weight and eliminates the front wheel drive
unit and cable for a cleaner look.
* Analog speedometer face evokes memories of the ‘60s.
* Digital displays include odometer, trip meter, clock, fuel range and
average fuel consumpion.
* Gear position indicator makes it easy to determine which gear the
transmission is in at a glance
.
Push-to-Cancel Turn Signals
* No fumbling, just a simple push on the switch cancels the turn
signals.
Huge Saddlebags and Tail Trunk
* Large trunk is big enough to hold two full-face helmets and provides
a convenient backrest for the passenger (50litre).
* LED tail/brake lights are located high on the trunk for better visibility to following motorists.
* Locking saddlebags carry an amazing amount of long-distance gear.
* Sturdy saddlebag and trunk locks keep gear secure.
* Large frame-mounted chrome saddlebag guards emphasise cruiser
image.
Standard Audio System
* AM/FM tuner with front fairing-mounted speakers is standard
equipment.
* Easy-to-use audio controls are located within easy thumb reach on
for 2010
* Improved heat management with a revised from exhaust cover and
hot air heat guide plate behind the radiator.
* New colour: Metallic Midnight Sapphire Blue with Metallic Moondust
Gray TBC.
the left handlebar.
* Standard audio system is equipped to easily expand with optional
iPod™ and CB radio attachments (not available in all markets).
Classic Styling
* LED taillight provides excellent visibility when activated, and makes
a strong visual statement with chrome surround.
* Tank, seat, fenders, saddlebags and details designed with a classic
1960‘s feel.
* Adjustable front brake and clutch levers and master cylinders
enhance rider comfort and styling.
* Rider and Passenger footboards add to comfort and style.
