2012 Kawasaki Vulcan® 900 Classic LT

41 mm Front Fork

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

4-valve Cylinder Head

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

903 cc V-twin SOHC Engine

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

Disc Brakes

• Both the 300 mm front and 270 mm rear rotors feature twin-piston calipers for great power and feel

Double Cradle Frame

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

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

Kevlar-reinforced Belt Drive

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

Key Features

Liquid and Air-cooling

• Finned cylinders and head combined with liquid cooling result in exceptional thermal control
• Includes temperature warning light
• Automatic fan helps keep things cool
• Maintains consistent engine temperatures for long engine life and sustained power

Low Stepped Seat

• Detailed with half-inch diameter chrome plated brass studs
• Ultra-low 26.8-inch seat height allows riders to easily plant both feet on the ground at stops
• Laid-back riding comfort for two
