New Feature for 2010:

• Improved heat management helps deflect engine heat

• A shorter coolant pipe simplifies oil screen maintenance

• New two-tone color combination

• Liquid cooled, 4-valve per cylinder, fuel-injected 1700cc 52° V-twin engine

• Long-stroke 102 x 104mm bore and stroke helps deliver massive torque, distinctive V-twin feel

• Valve system uses a single overhead cam arrangement instead of pushrods, for quick revability and enhanced mid-high rpm power

• Semi-dry sump allows low crankshaft placement and long stroke without increasing engine height

• Single-pin crank accentuates the engine’s V-twin character by providing strong 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 staggered mufflers offer a rich sound and stylish appearance

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

• Even in overdrive, the engine pulls strongly, facilitating overtaking at highway speeds

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

• Displays codes on the instrumentation, which can be read by owner from the accessory manual

• Ignition switch allows on-position key removal; preventing key bunches from scratching the instrument cluster or tank while the bike is in operation

• Turning the ignition switch collar to the “OFF” position turns the engine off and necessitates re-insertion of the key to restart

• Multi-function LCD displays on the tank-mounted instrument cluster are controlled by switches on the right handlebar. Features include a gear position indicator, fuel gauge, clock, odometer, dual trip meters, remaining mileage range and average fuel consumption

• Liberal use of chrome on the engine, fender brackets, light stays, and rear shock covers contrast nicely with the bodywork’s deep, lustrous paint

• The sculpted shape of the seat complements the rich visual tone of the bodywork

• The fuel tank’s hand-sculpted contours employ a constantly varying radius, giving the bike a dynamic flowing style which is pleasing both to the eye and to the touch

• Its lines flowing through the rest of the bike, the elegantly shaped fuel tank contributes to the Vulcan 1700’s curvaceous figure

• LED taillight looks elegant and provides years of trouble-free service
