Seems to have too much engine vibration. After it warms the vibration is still the same. This is a vibration that is constant just sitting still.sfair said: 1. Do not disconnect battery. 2. Follow the positive battery cable to its destination and that is the starter solenoid. The battery cable connects to one side of the solenoid and the other heavy cable on the other side of solenoid goes to the starter.I'll bet you'll find the battery is toast. Every time the battery drops below 12.4v, it sulphates. Too much sulphation, and it no longer holds an adequate charge. The Vulcan 500 should have no problems starting or operating in very cold temperatures (other than being just a little fickle like any carbed bike, but it will definitely crank)Re-check frame ground for good contact. I suggest removing the bolt or nut, scuffing the frame/engine surface and ground cable terminal with an abrasive material, apply a dielectric grease and reconnect. Make sure the ignition coils are connected properly. Visually and electrically check spark plugs and caps again.The Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 has a wheelbase of 1,655 to 1,705 mm (65.2 to 67.1 inches). Minimum ground clearance is 125 mm (4.9 inches) on the Classic FI and 135 mm (5.31 inches) on the Tourer/Nomad. Rake is 32° on the fuel-injected Classic, while trail differs per model and is between 123 mm (4.84 inches) and 165 mm (6.5 inches).

Like.Remove your brake reservoir cover and suck out the old fluid. Empty the syringe. Fill with new fluid and just lay the cover back on. Don’t install the screws.

The correct specs are: Fuel injection with 36mm throttle bodies, dry weight of 659 lb, a 5 gallon gas tank, compression at 9.0:1, and 85 ft-lb of torque. The first model year for the Vulcan 1500 Classic FI was 2000, the VN1500-N1. That year Kawasaki also made the carborated classic, the VN1500-E3.This is because Kawasaki went and upgraded the oil pump from plastic to metal. The problem was most common on the Vulcan 1500 Classic models, and owners opted to replace the oil pump with a third-party one. Replacing the oil gear pump seems to solve the symptoms listed above. 2. Regulator/Rectifier Wears Early.
