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.
