How about Beartooth Kawasaki, the owner of this site? They give a 15% discount to forum members.

I used 89-91 and 93 mixed with 87 when i first got the bike. all it did was carbon up the end of the pipes. One load of seafoam and 3 tanks of 87 later and the bike runs great.. No ping's no knocks and no more carbon on the pipe ends.

Nice blue 900 Lee.. Now we know there are at least 2 in this state.

Hi everyone. I'm new here and I'm picking up my new bike in a couple of weeks. I'm going for a VN900. Any feedback regarding this bike will be very much appreciated.

Welcome ! Can't help you very much with the 900 though only what is similar to the 800A.

Hello
I found a website to buy a few more accessories for the Vulcan 500. Highway bar and a light bar, plus a few other things. The website is: www.baddogstyles.com

Mercury · 08-20-2006

from what i read on the 900 bike - it looks SWEET!

Belt drive!!! The ltd model has bags and floor boards too!

It may even come with a windshield

cant beat all that for the price

good luck!

Kenny

Ditto for my '06 where the manual states to use only 91+ octane so I obey.

Mercury · 08-26-2006

i dint know the manual stated that - i use regular, burns cleaner

Recently bought an '06 Vulcan 500 LTD and I'm wondering if anyone makes a saddlebag support for my bike? Kawasaki wants over $100 and they're out of stock. Ideas?

I have the same problem with my 2005 vn 800 it just died with no warning like someone hit the kill switch, to me it sounds like it is an electrical problem if it was a vacuum would it not sputter a bit before it dies. Did you manage to fix the problem?

FERRARI FOXX · 09-15-2006

The Neutral Light On My 1996 Kawasaki Vulcan 750 Stays On. Then I Noticed The Headlight Goes Out When I Pull The Clutch In And Come Back On When I Release The Clutch...sometimes. Everyone Is Telling Me It's Wiring...where Do I Start? First Bike!

I bought my 900 in March of 06. I really like the bike and the belt drive is great. what i don't really like about it is that i seem to have all kinds of noises. I owned an 05- 800 Classic before this and it was very quiet. I'm told by some older members that the Kawa is a very noisy bike but some noises are hard to ignore. Other than that, well..... I've added a few things to mine allready, including a new exhaust system and power commander and a bit of chrome. I get a ****load of compliments on it and really enjoy long distance rides on it. The gas miliage is good as well.

I Have a 92 vulcan 500 and am trying to adjust the rear brake as well as make sure the tire is aligned after tightening the belt up a bit. Any tips? Thanks
I still have to find a manual for the darn thing.

Mercury · 10-02-2006

jah - I would keep checking ebay for a manual - thats where I got one for mine... or get a good floor manual (technical manual) from kawasaki

kenny

Jehamlin · 10-02-2006

Yeah I have been keeping an eye out. The closest I got was a 93 and was out bid at 25 bucks. Talk about taking advantage, and that was for the regular owners manual.
