Features

Chassis Management Technology

  • K-ACT (KAWASAKI ADVANCED COACTIVE-BRAKING TECHNOLOGY) ABS: At its heart, K-ACT ABS is an advanced anti-lock braking system, designed to keep tires from locking up during braking. But K-ACT ABS was designed to be used on touring models weighing in excess of 300 kg (661 lb.) – and that is before adding a passenger and luggage. Complementing its standard ABS function, K-ACT ABS links the front and rear brakes. It monitors the brake force the rider is exerting at both the front and rear, and takes into consideration vehicle speed to ensure highly effective braking while maintaining chassis stability. For example, let's say the rider pulls on the front brake lever. To keep the bike from pitching forward, the ABS ECU actuates the rear brake (via fluid pumps) to ensure that front-rear balance is maintained. Should the rider push the rear brake pedal, the system actuates the front brake as well to distribute the load more evenly so that the rear wheel does not lock up. Based on the vehicle speed, K-ACT decides the optimum hydraulic pressure to send to each caliper, ensuring that even with a heavy motorcycle, stable braking performance is possible.

Engine

  • MASSIVE V-TWIN MUSCLE: A roaring fuel-injected 52-degree liquid-cooled 1,700cc V-twin engine powers the Vulcan® 1700 Voyager® ABS touring cruiser.

Engine Management Technology

  • ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL: Electronic Cruise Control allows a desired speed (engine rpm) to be maintained with the simple press of a button. Once activated, the rider does not have to constantly apply the throttle. This reduces stress on the right hand when traveling long distances, enabling relaxed cruising and contributing to a high level of riding comfort.
  • ELECTRONIC THROTTLE VALVES: Kawasaki’s fully electronic throttle actuation system enables the ECU to control the volume of both the fuel (via fuel injectors) and the air (via throttle valves) delivered to the engine. Ideal fuel injection and throttle valve position results in smooth, natural engine response and the ideal engine output. The system also makes a significant contribution to reduced emissions. Electronic throttle valves also enable more precise control of electronic engine management systems like S-KTRC and KTRC, and allow the implementation of electronic systems like KLCM, Kawasaki Engine Brake Control, and Electronic Cruise Control.

Performance

  • COMMAND THE OPEN ROAD: A frame-mounted fairing combined with Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology (K-ACT II) results in highly-effective braking and light steering with exceptional protection from the elements. These innovative performance features help deliver a smooth, reassuring ride.

Technology

  • AUDIO & COMMUNICATIONS: Featuring a host of modern amenities and backed by a 36-month limited warranty, the Vulcan® 1700 Voyager® ABS motorcycle rides in a class of its own. Powerful speakers accompany the standard AM / FM / WB audio system with SiriusXM® and intercom-headset compatibility. It also features Navigation Audio Prompt Capability in conjunction with select Garmin® GPS devices (sold separately).

Touring

  • COMFORT & CONVENIENCE: Large trunk can hold two full-face helmets while high-capacity, locking saddlebags carry supplies and your long-distance gear. A comfortable saddle, passenger backrest and floorboards maximize passenger comfort on long rides. Small locking storage compartments allow you to stow electronics, sunglasses and other necessities in a convenient spot.
