Vulcan S story. Total miles riden: 460km, still in breakin.

Just came back from a 76km journey. It has been like 12 years since I last rode a bike for a long trip and boy I really need to be fit because it's quite tiring even after that short distance. 

As for the exhaust, the keyword is 'AHM vulcan s'. Pics inside fb together with YouTube video link. Mine is the single barrel.

Hmm. Hardly can justify any sound coming from Youtube but it should be loud enough to ring your neighbors at 2-3am. A friend of mine said, in the dead silence morning 1am, he still can hear my exhaust 600m away to tell that I dont rev the engine.

Well you put jealous, tired and misunderstanding you'll get the heat.
Tq bro. Cash can do rm30k but you know la poison like side bag, engine guard, radiator guard and accessories whatelse sure cannot do with just 30k. Atleast prepare to spend 33k. Yes with aeon credit. It's like 43k for 7 years. I rushed to buy this to mess with my bank statement so that I won't be able to straight jump from a kapcai to a Ducati Diavel last month or prolly this year. Am waiting for XDiavel really.

It's in the package of like rm3k. Side boxes and the rack, rad cover and exhaust. The rad guard prolly 150 or so.

And the akrapovic just sounded like AHM. Different shape but almost the same note.

How's Vulcan for short lady? 5'4 inch tall and skinny amoy....

my GF wishes to ride with me without being a pillion, but dont' want to invest so much on another Barley....

Oh, don't use motul 300v, motul 7100 or 5100 is fine.

300v is not formulated for a long distance/oci. Racing sure fine but some people after an event straight flush out. 7100 is fully while 5100 is semi are good enough.

That's one of the reason why I want a bike with liquid cooling system just to ease the bike pain unloading those heat when getting caught by heavy traffic.

I only once tried sitting on an SG 2016 at juru showroom. Very intimidating for a short person like me.

Well, after like more than 3k km riding my Vulcan S:

1. Reached speed 170kmh without a windshield but really it's not comfortable at that speed.

2. can go like 250km with a full tank of 8+ worth of petrol but highly recommend to fill up around 200km mark.

3. With custom exhaust on and LS2 FF370 helmet XXL size you need a good earplug.

4. It can lean but I wont dare more as this thing is a cruiser.

5. Have yet to enter service but I already have a Motul 7100 fully syn in mind. So too the cost to renew the bike's insurance not until September I will know. Estimated around RM700. (please correct me if i'm wrong)

Btw, Yamaha Stryker looks awesome really. Liquid cooled too. V twin air cooled is cruiser really but lotsa people I found commented on the casual rise of hot air especially when you stop.

Last time went to wash the bike and talked to pomen there he said Vulcan S is quite unusual bike really, looks like a cruiser but behave not like it. Engine power, lean angle is not like cruiser at all. Harley 103 without mod cannot do the speed like Vulcan S does and so the lean angle an HD would be scrapping the engine really. It's not a cruiser bike but a sportbike hiding behind a cruiser looks.

Hmm yea that sounds better.

Tomolo I think I will go service my vulcan s. Oil change and filter hopefully. Will update if it's done.

Not yet. Spring problem?

Further reading seems to point at bent shift rod and spring. It's external stuff but uea there's no universal fix for that, have to point to kawasaki parts. Sure outside shop can do the job

I think ia have an extra because i changed to reduce reach set so i have a a mid reach seat, handle bar and that shift rod. RM50 include post and it's yours, the rod only lol

I just serviced mine as well.  Silkoline Fuch full synthetic RM70x2, Oil Filter Kawa ori-RM50. Btwmy mechanic recommend service every 3,000km. I tot its every 5,000km?

If you don't mind Chinese Bikes, this is pretty sweet for town ride
