2013 Kawasaki Vulcan® 900 Classic LT

41 mm Front Fork

• Classic look with wide fork pitch
• 32-degree rake angle offers excellent straight line manners
• Excellent rigidity and 5.9 in. of travel

4-valve Cylinder Head

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

903 cc V-twin

• Gear-driven balancer allows use of single-pin crankshaft without excessive vibration
• Smooth and reliable engine tuned to deliver a healthy dose of torque at low rpm
• Rubber mounted to reduce engine vibration at all speeds

Double Cradle Frame

• Very rigid, large-diameter box section backbone allows for a larger fuel tank and lightweight handling at low speeds
• Triangular swingarm has a hardtail appearance, with a single shock hidden beneath the seat
• Fork offset and frame geometry combine for light, low-effort handling at low speeds
• Long and low chassis for minimal seat height, maximum visual impact
• Long wheelbase contributes to a relaxed highway ride

Dual Slash-cut Mufflers

• Big slash-cut mufflers look great and contain emission-reducing honeycomb catalyzers

Electronic Fuel Injection

• Superb performance and rideability thanks to dual throttle bodies with sub-throttles
• Fine-atomizing fuel injectors produce a fine fuel mist for optimal acceleration, combustion and fuel consumption
• The ECU controlled sub-throttles are located behind the main throttle valve, allowing the DFI® system to provide more precise throttle response, similar to a constant velocity carburetor

Front and Rear Disc Brakes

• The 300 mm front and 270 mm rear brake rotors are gripped by twin-piston calipers for some of the best stopping power in the class

Kevlar-reinforced Belt Drive

• Lower unsprung weight than a shaft drive to improve ride quality and suspension action
• Cleaner and lower maintenance than chain drive
• Efficiently transfers power to the rear wheel
