  • If you are reading this you are cooler than everyone and you will have a great day!!
    My coworker is away for travel and left me to protect his Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic. I have never been on a cruiser bike before and I have rode them less, so this is a new experience for me.
    If you enjoy then I am happy.
    But if you read this far I think you should subscribe and like for good luck:)

      I'm 18 years old and my dad gave me his 2021 Vulcan 900 Classic when he went to go buy his Harley. Can't wait to finally ride it this summer when I move back to his house I've never been more excited. Plus it's my first bike :)

    I can still remember the first time I rode my Vulcan. I had been riding standard and sports bikes for more than 30 years, but the Vulcan required me to totally relearn how to ride. "Big and fat" pretty much sums it up, but I would add "and very long!" Intersections were downright scary. It didn't help that everyone referred to it as a "beginner's bike." It took me well over a year to feel comfortable on it. But it is comfortable, especially for my wife.

    I had a Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide I loved it at first then I realized what flaws it had having been a machinist for many years so I went to an M109R got in trouble with the law ended up with a Vulcan 900 absolutely love it far superior vehicle to the Harley-Davidson really don't care about people's opinions about Harley-Davidsons I'm married I don't care.

    Tire pressure is 28 front and rear up to 215 lb rider.(s) Above that-rear is 32 PSI. Front still 28PSI. There is a sticker on the frame towards the rear and one under the seat that tell you all you need to know. Seat comes off w/key in left side cover.Turn key while pushing down on seat. Have fun riding it. I love mine!

    I went from a sport bike to a vulcan. It was weird at first but you get used to it. If you want to turn sharp at low speeds i find giving it a heavy push from the beginning then letting the fall in makes turning alot easier. If your going to change the oil, you don’t need to remove the the stuff in front off the oil filter. There is a bolt to the left. Take the bolt out then loosen the right bolt just a little and then you could move the arm that is holding everything out the way. A lot easier then removing everything else. Looking forward to more of your videos. 👍

    Throughout the film, you said that you didn't ride a cruiser, put on gas and give a weather report. Say something about how the acceleration feels, the direction at low speed, how it is in curves, how it changes gears, something about the brakes, something about the injection.

    you gotta rev that thing up man the vulcan 900 revs to 7500 its a light cruiser youre just not used to it second gear gets you to 40 you should only really go into third at 40 i like to go third till 50-55, 4th is cruising at 65 on a fast road and 5th is only for highway, going 30 in third gear is lugging the shit out of it. also man its actually great at slow speeds with mine, for example when you took a right turn from a stop you turned your bars and stared going which is wrong for this bike it makes you feel weird, what you should do is start going forward, turn left by pushing forward with your right hand to drop the bike to the right then quickly turn to the right and give it some nice revs and clutch out of the turn. you have to rev it a lot to make the clutch smoother since its so heavy and it has such a small engine for a cruiser, i hope you get the hang if the bike i love mine its pretty fast if you rev it out

    This is the bike I have. Super crazy comfortable bike to ride. But I’ve never ridden a sport bike. Only a vintage Harley and this bike. For me turning on the Vulcan is easy. I can ride slow and turn like I’m a CHP officer. The only thing I don’t like about the Vulcan 900 is that it’s a cow. I like torque. This guy was downshifting too much. Don’t downshift
