2015 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS Review

2015 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS on www.Totalmotorcycle.com

Cruiser Style with Complete Touring Credentials… Designed for those riders who set their sights beyond the horizon, the Vulcan 1700 Voyager offers everything needed for comfortable long-distance touring with or without a passenger. Offering a metric alternative to V-Twin tourers, the Vulcan 1700 Voyager combines Kawasaki reliability with the performance, comfort and amenities that long-distance touring riders demand.

While any motorcycle can be ridden long distances if the rider is determined, only a special few truly deserve to be called a touring cruiser. The Vulcan® 1700 Voyager® ABS motorcycle is one of those rare machines. It offers a stylish alternative to run-of-the-mill V-twin tourers, combining Kawasaki reliability with the performance, V-twin feel, comfort and amenities that a long-distance touring rider and passenger demand. Its torquey 1,700cc V-twin powerplant delivers muscular performance. And when mixed with Kawasaki’s legendary engineering and reputation for dependability, you’ve got a motorcycle that will carry you reliably from coast to coast – and back again. 2015 KAWASAKI VULCAN 1700 VOYAGER ABS HIGHLIGHTS: ” Powerful 1,700cc V-twin ” Six-speed transmission ” Kawasaki’s sophisticated K-ACT II ABS braking system ” Electronic cruise control ” Stylish, frame-mounted fairing provides superior wind protection ” Superb comfort for rider and passenger ” Lower color-matched fairings increase wind protection ” Large, color matched trunk holds two full-face helmets ” Weatherproof, lockable, color matched, top-opening hard saddlebags ” Feature-rich, AM/FM/WB audio system with iPod® and SiriusXM® radio compatibility ” Navigation Audio Prompt Capability plays voice prompts from Garmin® Zumo® 600/665 GPS devices through the motorcycle’s audio system ” Low 28.7″ seat height ” Compact and upright ergonomics improve rider comfort for all-day rides ” Includes a best-in-class 36-month limited factory warranty! TOURING COMFORT Comfortable, long-distance touring is all about a bike’s carrying capacity and comfort of both a rider and passenger for days – or even weeks – in the saddle. Voyager features a large frame-mounted fairing, beautifully integrated luggage that stows your gear, an extremely comfortable saddle, electronic cruise control, and high-fidelity sound system all to offer the perfect platform to watch the scenery change along with the time zones. As if that weren’t enough, the Voyager also includes the K-ACT II anti-lock/integrated braking system while still keeping the MSRP lower than comparable models. KAWASAKI K-ACT II ABS Since touring cruisers can encounter inclement weather on the road, the Voyager’s braking system is enhanced by the Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology (K-ACT II) ABS system. K-ACT II uses advanced electronics to translate the rider’s braking inputs from both the front lever and rear pedal into smooth, balanced deceleration and provide maximum stopping performance. The front lever also activates the rear brake, and the rear pedal also engages the right front caliper. K-ACT II helps ensure all this happens seamlessly and efficiently, and the second-generation system uses the same smaller, lighter ABS unit and faster, higher-spec brake ECU found on the Kawasaki Concours®14 ABS motorcycle for smooth, precise operation. The K-ACT II coactive function does not engage when braking is applied at speeds below 12mph, and the ABS function is automatically disengaged at speeds below four mph. POWERTRAIN There’s much more on the unique technology front, including Kawasaki’s fully electronic throttle valve system, which works in concert with the Voyager’s Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®) system to enhance engine response without diluting the big 1,700cc V-twin’s distinctive throb. The system also helps the ECU deliver ultra-precise air/fuel metering and more accurate idle speed control. The setup utilizes an Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) and Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) that feed data to the ECU, which adjusts the throttle plates to tailor intake airflow accordingly. The system offers natural throttle feel, as APS is activated by a throttle-body pulley connected by cables to the throttle grip. Kawasaki was the first to provide, as standard equipment, an effective air management system to help increase rider comfort when stopped. The primary component of the Kawasaki Air Management System (KAMS) routes radiator heat to the ground, below the engine, while the secondary part of the system draws heat away from the rear cylinder and exhaust pipe and directs it to the ground on the left side of the motorcycle. This system is particularly effective in warm weather while stopped in traffic or for extended periods of low-speed operation, such as during staging for group rides or parades. All of this technology is a marvel of engineering and functionally capable. Featuring liquid cooling, four-valve cylinder heads and a single overhead cam setup for big-time mid-range power, the engine utilizes a pair of big pistons to pump out a massive quantity of torque over an unbelievably wide rpm range – a key to this engine’s superb flexibility. There’s a boatload of torque located throughout the RPM zone where riders will spend the most time – and more than enough from idle all the way to 5,000rpm, so major-league, arm-straightening thrust is available every time you twist the grip. Voyager’s fuel injection and exhaust systems are tuned to deliver peak torque and horsepower at the optimal rpm for an open-road tourer. Voyager’s mufflers have excellent sound quality and a tapered, classic look. Additional touring functionality is provided by Voyager’s beefy but easy-to-squeeze hydraulic clutch, which features six damping springs and progressive three-stage engagement for easier shifting under hard acceleration. Voyager touring cruiser employs innovative technology matched with essential touring features such as electronic cruise control and a six-speed transmission with overdrive fifth and sixth gears. The cruise control is easily operated from the right handlebar and can be activated between 30 and 85mph in any of the top four gears. Conveniently, the cruise control can be disengaged by applying the front brake lever, clutch lever, rear brake pedal, or by manually rolling off the throttle. Featuring overdrive ratios and a super strong carbon fiber reinforced drive belt, the Voyager’s drivetrain is ideally suited to its role as a relaxed touring machine. Its tall fifth and sixth gears contribute to relaxed riding and better fuel economy at highway speeds, and its carbon fiber reinforced drive belt has a 40-percent higher tensile strength than the latest Kevlar units, allowing use of a 28mm belt that minimizes drivetrain width. WIND PROTECTION A long-haul touring motorcycle needs superior wind and weather protection, and the Voyager packs plenty in the form of its large frame-mounted windshield and fairing, as well as leg shields that incorporate effective venting to help keep the rider’s legs cool. Directly mounting this beautifully sculpted fairing to the frame transfers any wind buffeting to the bike rather than the handlebar, which reduces rider fatigue on longer trips. INTEGRATED LUGGAGE A full complement of stylish and integrated luggage is also part of the Voyager package. Sealed, lockable and top-opening side cases with 10 gallons (38L) of volume partner with a color-matched, 13.2-gallon (50L) lockable tail trunk that’s big enough to swallow two large full-face helmets. Besides ample storage, the Voyager also has a pair of lockable glove boxes up front that provide a handy place for storing small items and accessories. SUSPENSION This full-dress touring cruiser handles like a much lighter machine thanks to optimal chassis design and excellent suspension. Dual air-assisted shocks offer 3.1″ of adjustable rear suspension travel and feature settings unique to the Voyager. The shocks feature 4-way rebound damping adjustability to help ensure predictable handling and a comfortable ride. ERGONOMICS Comfortable seating for rider and passenger is a must on a touring bike. The Voyager delivers again with deluxe touring seats sculpted to provide support for all-day touring. Contributing to long-distance passenger security and relaxation are a luxury backrest and floorboards for both the rider and passenger. Built-in instruments and radio controls mounted on the Voyager’s classic automotive-style dash offer exceptional functionality and classic muscle car styling. The image is reinforced by the classic typeface used on the large, round instrument dials, as well as a radio styled to with 1960s inspiration. A multi-function LCD display is mixed in with the retro analog dials in the center of the instrument console. It’s controlled by switches on the right handlebar and features a gear-position indicator, clock, odometer, dual trip meters, remaining fuel range and average fuel consumption. The intercom headset-compatible, 40-watt, twin-speaker audio system features navigation audio prompts, a three-band (FM/AM/WX) radio that is also compatible with an iPod®, SiriusXM® radio tuner, select GPS devices or a CB radio unit. The audio system (and iPod) can be operated by an integrated controller on the left handlebar. In addition to volume, the rider can also adjust the bass, treble and balance levels of the system. Navigation audio prompt capability allows voice-prompting audio to be heard through the speakers, or Kawasaki Genuine Accessory helmet headsets, when using Garmin® Zumo® 600/665 GPS units. For an even more powerful sound, the Kawasaki Genuine Accessories rear speaker kit plugs right into the Voyager’s factory sound system, adding twin speakers that are styled to match the tail trunk. A water-cooled, rare earth magnet alternator produces an impressive 46.8 amps of electrical output – enough to power add-on navigation systems and other electrical accessories that add to the modern touring experience. The Voyager also features a convenient cigarette lighter-style power port on the dash and two accessory power feeds under the seat – ideal for additional accessories. APPEARANCE Kawasaki designers packed the Voyager with advanced technology without dulling its dramatic styling and attractive visual appeal. Like the dashboard, the Voyager’s bodywork continues the ’60s muscle car inspiration with its curved, muscular lines. The meticulous attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship of the bodywork and engine covers is obvious in contoured shapes that look good from any angle and are as pleasing to the touch as they are to the eye.

2015 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS www.Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology (K-ACT II) ABS – Voyager ABS features Kawasaki’s sophisticated K-ACT II system, which helps riders to execute balanced braking. Designed to complement the riders’ brake inputs, the system distributes the ideal amount of brake pressure to maximize braking efficiency – Low battery mode maintains ABS function while reducing signal frequency to conserve power when needed – For increased controllability in tight parking lots and when executing U-turns, K-ACT’s coactive function does not engage when braking is initiated at speeds below 12 mph – ABS function is disengaged at speeds below four mph – Dual 300mm front disc brakes with four-piston calipers and a two-piston rear disc brake for sure, powerful stops Powerful 1,700cc V-twin engine – Liquid-cooled, four valves per cylinder, fuel-injected 1,700cc 52-degree V-twin engine – Long-stroke 102 x 104mm bore and stroke dimensions help deliver high levels of torque with a distinctive V-twin feel – Valve system uses a single overhead cam arrangement instead of pushrods for quicker revving and enhanced mid- to high-rpm power – Semi-dry sump allows a lower crankshaft placement and a longer piston stroke without increasing engine height – Single-pin crank accentuates the engine’s V-twin character by providing stronger power pulses – Large capacity airbox is located on both sides of the engine – Small-diameter iridium sparkplugs reach deep into the combustion chamber for high combustion efficiency, especially during low-load operation – Dual mufflers, one on each side of the bike, allow maximum clearance for luggage – Engine tuning offers superior acceleration in the 50 to 70 mph range – The engine pulls strongly even in top gear, facilitating overtaking at highway speeds Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®) – Dual 42mm throttle bodies with atomizing fuel injectors produce a fine fuel mist for better combustion and fuel consumption Electronic Throttle Valve (ETV) System – Fully electronic throttle actuation system enables the ECU to control the volume of intake air (via throttle valve angle) and fuel (via fuel injector timing) delivered to the engine – Optimized fuel injector timing and throttle valve position result in accurate, powerful engine response – Control of both fuel injection and airflow provides easy starting and precise cold-engine idle speed control – From the rider’s perspective, the ETV works like a standard cable-operated throttle; the throttle grip is still connected to cables, so the feel at the grip is the same – Twisting the throttle turns a pulley on the throttle body which triggers the Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) to send a signal to the ECU, which then modulates the throttle valves via a DC motor – Accurate throttle position is relayed to the ECU by a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) – APS and TPS send two sets of signals to the ECU for system redundancy in the unlikely event of a sensor failure Cruise Control – When activated, the system maintains a desired speed – Cruise control can be engaged and adjusted entirely from the right handlebar – Cruise control can be activated in 3rd gear or above at any speed between 30mph and 85mph – Pressure on the brake lever, clutch lever or rear brake pedal automatically disengages the cruise control, as will manually rolling off the throttle On Board Diagnostics – Diagnostic system allows self-testing of the electronic systems on the Vulcan 1700 motorcycles – Display codes on the instrumentation can be read by the owner using the accessory manual Six-speed Transmission / Final Drive – Both 5th and 6th gears are “overdrive” ratios, which contributes to stress-free riding and better fuel economy when cruising at highway speeds – 28mm carbon fiber reinforced final drive belt offers a 40-percent increase in tensile strength compared to current Kevlar belts. This allows the Vulcan 1700 to use a slim belt only 2mm wider than the Kevlar unit on the Vulcan 900 motorcycles – Belt drive system is quiet, efficient and offers reduced maintenance compared to a chain drive system Light Handling Chassis – The relatively short wheelbase and shorter distance between the seat and steering head contribute to rider comfort and easy maneuverability – Large, steel, box section backbone frame is very rigid and helps contribute to high stability as well as light handling at low speeds – The compact design contributes to light handling and facilitates handling at low speeds, especially when executing precise slow-speed maneuvers like parking or making U-turns 45mm Telescopic Fork – Provides superb steering feedback – 5.5″ of travel helps provide excellent ride quality Dual Adjustable Rear Air Shocks – Features air-adjustment to help compensate for passenger and luggage variations – 4-way rebound damping adjustments help tune the suspension to suit the rider’s preference – Voyager-specific settings match the load carrying and long distance touring requirements inherent in this type of motorcycle Nine-spoke Cast Wheels – Allow the use of tubeless tires and complement the Voyager’s muscular styling – 130/90 front and 170/70 rear tires offer optimal traction and wear characteristics – Tire choice and suspension settings augment the chassis’ light handling characteristics Classic V-twin Appeal – Basic architecture has a significant impact on a V-twin engine’s appearance – The line created by the top of the airbox and the cylinder heads forms a curved shape that continues to flow through the bike – Deeply chromed engine covers have curved upper surfaces. Their three-dimensional form adds volume and gives a quality appearance – The edges of the cooling fins receive a special nickel-carbide treatment that makes them gleam in sunlight – All the non-chromed parts of the engine have a matte black finish that further accentuates the chromed parts Bodywork – Muscular fairing is reminiscent of classic American muscle cars in its sculpted, flowing design – Chromed headlamp cover and twin fog lights contribute to the muscle car theme – The fuel tank’s hand-sculpted contours employ constantly varying radii, giving the bike a dynamic flow that is pleasing both to the eye and to the touch – The lines flowing through the rest of the bike and its elegant fuel tank contribute to the Voyager’s curvaceous figure – Liberal use of chrome contrasts nicely with the bodywork’s deep, lustrous paint. The engine, front and rear guards, accents on the side cases and trunk, and the trunk brackets are fully chromed – Design motif from the front fender continues on the rear fender, which features an elegant LED taillight – Front and rear guards help protect the bike’s bodywork in case of a tip-over – Dual 35W fog lights have a dedicated On/Off switch and can be adjusted vertically – In addition to the taillight on the rear fender, the Voyager also has a large, highly visible LED taillight mounted on the rear of the trunk that contributes to its appearance Classic Retro Dashboard – Instrument layout and large round dials give the Voyager’s console a classic automotive elegance, which is reinforced by the font used in the instrumentation – Even the radio has a classic look, reminiscent of a 1960s radio – Multi-function LCD display in the center of the instrument console is controlled by switches on the right handlebar. Features include a gear position indicator, fuel gauge, clock, odometer, dual trip meters, remaining range and average fuel consumption – Analog displays include speedometer, tachometer and coolant temperature gauge – Audio system with twin speakers features radio (FM/AM/WX) and compatibility with optional iPod®, SiriusXM® tuner or CB radio units – The audio system (and iPod) can be operated by switches on the left handlebar – GPS Navigation Audio Prompt Capability can play navigation voice prompts from Garmin® Zumo® 600 or 665 series GPS devices through the motorcycle’s audio system or Kawasaki Genuine Accessory helmet headsets – Ignition switch allows key removal in the on position; preventing keys from damaging the chrome finish around the ignition area during operation – Turning the ignition switch collar to the ACC position allows accessories to be used while the engine is off and turning it to the “OFF” position turns the engine off and secures the ignition when parking Wind Protection – Large windshield and fairing help protect the rider and passenger from the wind and elements – With the front fairing mounted to the frame, any wind buffeting is transferred to the bike rather than the handlebar, helping to enhance highway stability and reduce rider fatigue – Leg shields have adjustable vents to tailor the amount of airflow to the rider’s legs Ample Storage – 13.2-gallon (50L) lockable trunk is large enough to fit two full-face helmets – Top-opening side cases are sealed and lockable, with a volume of 10 gallons (38L) each – Up front, lockable glove boxes provide a handy place for storing small items and accessories.

2015 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS Features and Benefits:

Kawasaki advanced coactive-braking technology (k-act ii) abs.

• Voyager ABS features Kawasaki’s sophisticated K-ACT II system, which helps riders to execute balanced braking. “Designed” to complement the riders’ brake inputs, the system distributes the ideal amount of brake pressure to maximize braking efficiency

• Low battery mode maintains ABS function while reducing signal frequency to conserve power when needed

• For increased controllability in tight parking lots and when executing U-turns, K-ACT’s coactive function does not engage when braking is initiated at speeds below 12 mph

• ABS function is disengaged at speeds below four mph

• Dual 300mm front disc brakes with four-piston calipers and a two-piston rear disc brake for sure, powerful stops

Powerful 1,700cc V-twin engine

• Liquid-cooled, four valves per cylinder, fuel-injected 1,700cc 52-degree V-twin engine

• Long-stroke 102 x 104mm bore and stroke dimensions help deliver high levels of torque with a distinctive V-twin feel

• Valve system uses a single overhead cam arrangement instead of pushrods for quicker revving and enhanced mid- to high-rpm power

• Semi-dry sump allows a lower crankshaft placement and a longer piston stroke without increasing engine height

• Single-pin crank accentuates the engine’s V-twin character by providing stronger power pulses

• Large capacity airbox is located on both sides of the engine

• Small-diameter iridium sparkplugs reach deep into the combustion chamber for high combustion efficiency, especially during low-load operation

• Dual mufflers, one on each side of the bike, allow maximum clearance for luggage

• Engine tuning offers superior acceleration in the 50 to 70 mph range

• The engine pulls strongly even in top gear, facilitating overtaking at highway speeds

Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®)

• Dual 42mm throttle bodies with atomizing fuel injectors produce a fine fuel mist for better combustion and fuel consumption

Electronic Throttle Valve (ETV) System

• Fully electronic throttle actuation system enables the ECU to control the volume of intake air (via throttle valve angle) and fuel (via fuel injector timing) delivered to the engine

• Optimized fuel injector timing and throttle valve position result in accurate, powerful engine response

• Control of both fuel injection and airflow provides easy starting and precise cold-engine idle speed control

• From the rider’s perspective, the ETV works like a standard cable-operated throttle; the throttle grip is still connected to cables, so the feel at the grip is the same

• Twisting the throttle turns a pulley on the throttle body which triggers the Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) to send a signal to the ECU, which then modulates the throttle valves via a DC motor

• Accurate throttle position is relayed to the ECU by a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)

• APS and TPS send two sets of signals to the ECU for system redundancy in the unlikely event of a sensor failure

Cruise Control

• When activated, the system maintains a desired speed

• Cruise control can be engaged and adjusted entirely from the right handlebar

• Cruise control can be activated in 3rd gear or above at any speed between 30mph and 85mph

• Pressure on the brake lever, clutch lever or rear brake pedal automatically disengages the cruise control, as will manually rolling off the throttle

On Board Diagnostics

• Diagnostic system allows self-testing of the electronic systems on the Vulcan 1700 motorcycles

• Display codes on the instrumentation can be read by the owner using the accessory manual

Six-speed Transmission / Final Drive

• Both 5th and 6th gears are “overdrive” ratios, which contributes to stress-free riding and better fuel economy when cruising at highway speeds

• 28mm carbon fiber reinforced final drive belt offers a 40-percent increase in tensile strength compared to current Kevlar belts. This allows the Vulcan 1700 to use a slim belt only 2mm wider than the Kevlar unit on the Vulcan 900 motorcycles

• Belt drive system is quiet, efficient and offers reduced maintenance compared to a chain drive system

Light Handling Chassis

• The relatively short wheelbase and shorter distance between the seat and steering head contribute to rider comfort and easy maneuverability

• Large, steel, box section backbone frame is very rigid and helps contribute to high stability as well as light handling at low speeds

• The compact design contributes to light handling and facilitates handling at low speeds, especially when executing precise slow-speed maneuvers like parking or making U-turns

45mm Telescopic Fork

• Provides superb steering feedback

• 5.5” of travel helps provide excellent ride quality

Dual Adjustable Rear Air Shocks

• Features air-adjustment to help compensate for passenger and luggage variations

• 4-way rebound damping adjustments help tune the suspension to suit the rider’s preference

• Voyager-specific settings match the load carrying and long distance touring requirements inherent in this type of motorcycle

Nine-spoke Cast Wheels

• Allow the use of tubeless tires and complement the Voyager’s muscular styling

• 130/90 front and 170/70 rear tires offer optimal traction and wear characteristics

• Tire choice and suspension settings augment the chassis’ light handling characteristics

Classic V-twin Appeal

• Basic architecture has a significant impact on a V-twin engine’s appearance

• The line created by the top of the airbox and the cylinder heads forms a curved shape that continues to flow through the bike

• Deeply chromed engine covers have curved upper surfaces. Their three-dimensional form adds volume and gives a quality appearance

• The edges of the cooling fins receive a special nickel-carbide treatment that makes them gleam in sunlight

• All the non-chromed parts of the engine have a matte black finish that further accentuates the chromed parts

• Muscular fairing is reminiscent of classic American muscle cars in its sculpted, flowing design

• Chromed headlamp cover and twin fog lights contribute to the muscle car theme

• The fuel tank’s hand-sculpted contours employ constantly varying radii, giving the bike a dynamic flow that is pleasing both to the eye and to the touch

• The lines flowing through the rest of the bike and its elegant fuel tank contribute to the Voyager’s curvaceous figure

• Liberal use of chrome contrasts nicely with the bodywork’s deep, lustrous paint. The engine, front and rear guards, accents on the side cases and trunk, and the trunk brackets are fully chromed

• Design motif from the front fender continues on the rear fender, which features an elegant LED taillight

• Front and rear guards help protect the bike’s bodywork in case of a tip-over

• Dual 35W fog lights have a dedicated On/Off switch and can be adjusted vertically

• In addition to the taillight on the rear fender, the Voyager also has a large, highly visible LED taillight mounted on the rear of the trunk that contributes to its appearance

Classic Retro Dashboard

• Instrument layout and large round dials give the Voyager’s console a classic automotive elegance, which is reinforced by the font used in the instrumentation

• Even the radio has a classic look, reminiscent of a 1960s radio

• Multi-function LCD display in the center of the instrument console is controlled by switches on the right handlebar. Features include a gear position indicator, fuel gauge, clock, odometer, dual trip meters, remaining range and average fuel consumption

• Analog displays include speedometer, tachometer and coolant temperature gauge

• Audio system with twin speakers features radio (FM/AM/WX) and compatibility with optional iPod®, SiriusXM® tuner or CB radio units

• The audio system (and iPod) can be operated by switches on the left handlebar

• GPS Navigation Audio Prompt Capability can play navigation voice prompts from Garmin® Zumo® 600 or 665 series GPS devices through the motorcycle’s audio system or Kawasaki Genuine Accessory helmet headsets

• Ignition switch allows key removal in the on position; preventing keys from damaging the chrome finish around the ignition area during operation

• Turning the ignition switch collar to the ACC position allows accessories to be used while the engine is off and turning it to the “OFF” position turns the engine off and secures the ignition when parking

Wind Protection

• Large windshield and fairing help protect the rider and passenger from the wind and elements

• With the front fairing mounted to the frame, any wind buffeting is transferred to the bike rather than the handlebar, helping to enhance highway stability and reduce rider fatigue

• Leg shields have adjustable vents to tailor the amount of airflow to the rider’s legs

Ample Storage

• 13.2-gallon (50L) lockable trunk is large enough to fit two full-face helmets

• Top-opening side cases are sealed and lockable, with a volume of 10 gallons (38L) each

• Up front, lockable glove boxes provide a handy place for storing small items and accessories. An iPod jack (optional connector required) is located in the left-side glove box

• Sculpted seat designed for both comfortable long-distance ergonomics and an easy reach to the ground

• Upright riding position and floorboards contribute to all-day touring comfort

• Roomy passenger seat is complemented by padding on the trunk that provides back and arm support

• Rear floorboards contribute to passenger comfort

• Dual adjustable rear air shocks use settings optimized for load carrying and long-distance comfort

• 5.3-gallon fuel tank offers a substantial range, helping to minimize fuel stops when out on the open road

Accessories

• A large number of Kawasaki Genuine Accessories are available, including iPod® connector, SiriusXM® radio module, Kawasaki KQR™ quick-release passenger backrest, standard gel seat, dual gel saddle, saddlebag liners, auxiliary lights, DC power sockets, GPS mount, billet handlebar clamps, engine cover trim, saddlebag top rails, custom cover and more.

1700 Aftermarket Drive Belt

• Add to quote

I'm just wondering if anyone has gotten an aftermarket belt from Gates, etc. If you have successfully done this, please share your part number here. Please only people who have direct knowledge of an aftermarket belt definitely fitting a 1700 need respond just to keep things organized. Thank you  

It appears as tho I am the guinea pig. I ordered the Gates HTD 1-1/8 139T 14mm pitch belt yesterday. I will give you my thoughts once I receive it.  

New Aftermarket Gates Belt Has Arrived My new belt has arrived. It looks to be the exact same type teeth as the OEM belt. I have a new front pulley as my current one has a pretty pronounced groove that the belt runs in. I'm going to wait until next year to change it as I don't want to run a new belt on a fairly used pulley. This is the belt I ordered from Mocabike and the Gates part number: Gates HTD Rear Belt For For Harley-Davidson (CC640077) Here is a picture of the fitment:

Thx for info@!  

No problem, hopefully it saves some people some cash  

So, just out of curiosity; why did you replace the belt? What advantage does this give? Since the 1700 comes stock with a carbon fibre belt that will last the life of the bike; what advantage is there to the Gates? Just curious!  

Ok, my front drive pulley has a very noticeable ridge that it runs in that you can easily see and feel but the rear pulley is good. I think I may just change out the front one first to see what difference it makes. If I still have the whining I will change the belt also.  

don't click the picture - click the yellow bar on top  

I don't see a yellow bar......anyone see a yellow bar? I get what you're talking about anyways  

"this image has been resized..." It's at the top of the picture  

Insteresting http://www.vulcanforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=171201&thumb=1  

That one I see perfectly. I don't know whats up with the other one :nerd:  

Yellow bar is clearly there for me.  

I have this little soap-box that I pull out whenever I hear of someone changing the front pulley. "Do not re-use the tab washer, Do not use loctite on the threads" Follow the service manual procedure, use molybdenum disulphide grease on the spline, thread and seating surface of the nut. Use a new tab washer. Torque the nut to 175 Nm. Failure to follow the procedure will eventually result in a destroyed shaft, gotta pull the engine and split the cases to replace it. As for my drive belt life, i replaced the first one early trying to reduce the noise, replaced the second one due to stone damage, since then I've been getting 200,000 kms from a set of pulleys and belt and change them just to feel better, never broke a belt yet. And I've run the Alcan 4 times with this bike.  

Thanks for the info. You sure ride the heck out of your bike, good to see. My buddy blew a belt on his 900 Classic last summer about half way between Watson Lake and Whitehorse which cost us about 3 days waiting on a belt. I am going to change the belt and front pulley as it has a pretty pronounced groove in it. We are headed for Dawson City in the middle of June so I don't want to lose any days because of a break down.  

Garry will be your go-too person for belt replacement, as he was mine when I tackled the job... While my bike has had 3 belts, it's only the last one that I had to do myself - the others were put on (too tight obviously) by a dealer the previous owner trusted (wrongly, clearly). I followed Garry's advice over the new tab and molybdenum disulphide grease, and check periodically that all is well under there. It's important to clean any crud out from the belt teeth, and scrape any foreign objects out of the pulleys. I occasionally find small stones caught in tar between the pulley teeth, which will slowly change the shape of your belt if left for any length of time. Most importantly, don't over-tension the belt. I have mine to about HD spec, and once it's in the sweet spot I don't ever touch the adjusters. You can get the rear wheel out by simply removing the shocks and raising the bike on a lift until the belt is slack enough to pull the axle. You'll probably need to take the rear two bolts out from the left side muffler under the saddlebag supports. The clamp on the front of the pipe can stay tight, the muffler will swivel down out of the way to let the left shock mount past. I don't ever need to loosen the right side muffler at all. That side misses. To swap out the belts you'll need to take the swingarm off as well, but that's just an excellent opportunity to grease it up in there.  

There's a heap of mud in the corner of my garage, and the Tenere is inside it somewhere! 22k on it, I was hoping it could replace the Voyager but wifey hasn't bonded with it, not comfortable she says, so Voyager stays. :smile2:  

i have to replace my belt because i noticed a fault in it..i think i hit something on a bumpy road...the original belt is @500 usd i found this one : drag specialties 1 inch 139 , 14 mm made by Falcon this one is @150 usd ..this one i found fast because i will go tomorrow in a 3000 km trip and i just noticed the fault .. i will take this just to have a replacement if something goes wrong. the belt besides this fault was in perfect condition..
