In this video I meet up with a fellow Kawasaki Vulcan 650 rider and we take a scenic ride through Canal road in central NJ. I organized a group ride on the July 4th holiday but many could not attend due to prior commitments with family and friends. I plan on organizing more group rides this summer in NJ so if you are in the NJ, NY, PA areas and would like to meet up then send me a message or leave a comment below! It's always more fun to ride together! Ride Safe!

Dropping a line to say "Thanks for your videos!" I just bought a 2021 Vulcan and your videos have helped me with some installs. I live in Canada just north of you and your scenic rides are very similar to what I have here. Keep on doing what you are doing and safe journeys!
Thanks Andy! Glad the videos help, mods are so much fun! I would love to ride in Canada one day, I am sure the views are much much more beautiful there haha. Ride safe brother!
How is it hanging !! ?? I got 2022
Ayeee I’m up in North Jersey and just bought a Vulcan S as my first bike back in August. Absolutely love it so far!
Awesome congrats man! Maybe we meet up for a ride next spring and summer
I got my 2021 Vulcan S 5 months ago and your videos really helped, I also ordered the CS Racing exhaust using your discount code so thank you. I live in PA but I’m 20 minutes away from Jersey
That's awesome! How do you like the exhaust? I am glad the videos helped! Wow your nearby we should meetup for a ride. I created a facebook group for local riders to meetup. Join here facebook.com/groups/365535114996726/?ref=share
@@Kamdorian I haven’t received the exhaust yet. CS Racing said it would take 25 days before the exhaust would be shipped. I’m assuming it has to do with parts being on back order but I’m willing to wait bc I think it has the perfect sound for the Vulcan, it’s not too quite and it’s not overly loud & annoying. Okay, I will join on Facebook.
Around 6:00, that was awesome. Lush green. 😍
Be careful on those one lane roads. 😊
yes very nice greenery! I am hearing more and more that single lane and smaller roads are more dangerous compared to multiple lane highways, guess I need to explore more roads haha
I'm looking at getting a vulcan 650 this will be my first real motorcycle i have been riding around on my X-PRO 250 THAT GOT OFF AMAZON
@@wadewolfe5316 wow Amazon bike huh..how is it? What's the top speed on it? The Vulcan will be a good step up in terms of power and weight you will love it
Thanks for the video! I work in kendall Park. When I get my vulcan I'll link up. I like the blacked out vucan. Looks great
Thanks for watching! I used to live next to Kendall park, when are you getting the Vulcan, would be fun to meet up for sure!!
Just bought my first bike! 2022 Vulcan S can’t wait to learn
Congrats man you will love it, Ride safe!
Nice Vlog. Your exhaust is awesome
Thanks man I appreciate it
Hi yeah i enjoy your videos I'm super excided I've ordered the 2023 full power and I bought myself a cs racing exhaust can't wait
Awesome man thanks for watching and congrats on the bike and exhaust! You will love them both. Enjoy and ride safe bro!
Just bought the 2021 model of this for my first bike! it will be delivered soon and I cant wait!
Congrats bud! You will love the bike. I injured my hand and haven't been able to ride for the last month so kind of bummed but it's healed now so will be riding soon! Are you planning on doing mods to the bike? Ride safe man!
@@Kamdorianbummer about the hand. good to hear its healed. I have a couple mods in mind. primarily the seat at this point. Just from what I've read it can be uncomfortable for anything longer than an hour or two. And I do plan to take some day trips on it eventually. My fam lives about 6 hours south and it would be an awesome coastal ride. So seat and then probably a better sounding exhaust.
How do you like those undermounted side mirrors?
@@codiejman533 cool yea the stock seat is terrible. I got the air hawk cushion that makes riding for 1.5hrs comfortable but even after that it gets tiresome so have to take quick breaks. I want to get a core seat one day but they so expensive.
@@codiejman533 love the mirrors. Can see way more compare to stock, and they barely vibrate at high speeds.
ayeeee im in NJ just bought my 2018 vulcan 650 abs and im LOVING IT!! we should ride sometime
Awesome congrats man! Where in NJ are you? Yea we should meet up
@@Kamdorian morristown/ morris plains but i go south to AC alot and go to upstate NY Alot too
@@cameronfoster6952 cool man I'm in central area near New Brunswick
@@Kamdorian wow! Yeah i went that way to get my learners, id love to meet up and maybe take some notes on group spots or meet ups🤟
@@cameronfoster6952 nice yea let's meetup sometime before the riding season ends..maybe in September or early October
Just purchased a 2022 Vulcan 650 really enjoy your videos would like to be added to group to get more knowledge on this bike
Congrats! Thanks for watching my videos. There are a few public Facebook groups just search Vulcan 650 and join them. Are you in NJ? If so I'll add you to the local NJ riding group.
The Vulcan S. I've always like this bike when Kawasaki introduced it. i think that was 2015 or 2016. I was considering about getting 1 for my first bike but i bought a used 2012 Vulcan 900 instead. I've got a few videos on it on my channel. Still considering the vulcan s for a 2nd bike. Like how the bike looks and how it sounds.
Nice video and I gotta say i'm a little jealous to see you ride, im still stuck at home with this whole pandemic lockdown thing going on.
Cool man I checked out some of your vulcan 900 videos that v-twin exhaust sounds soooooo good. Only thing I wish the vulcan 650 had haha but not possible with parallel twin. The vulcan 650 is very quick and looks great, you will enjoy it. I am possibly looking for a vtwin now because I miss that exhaust sound. I had a honda shadow 750 with vance and hines exhaust and it had that nice vtwin rumble.
@@Kamdorian to me i find that vtwin are all about the sound, the rumble, feel, esthetics of a classic bike and of course the straight line cruising. It wont be as quick, agile, nimble and responsive as the vulcan 650 with parallel twin. so having a vtwin and a vulcan 650 is definitely a great idea!! (there goes my future savings....)
@@reffutama2233 haha my thoughts exactly! Need both to be set for life. I might consider a harley if I can find an affordable one or maybe a more recent year model for vulcan 900. Did you get your bike used? Wife will also kill me because garage has two bikes already lol
@@Kamdorian yeah harley and its accessories are expensive, but the way it rumbles and the sound it makes is just so good. if i were to get a harley it'll be either the Softail Deluxe, Heritage or a Road King. Bought my Vulcan used. Turns out the guy who owned it before I did is a friend of a friend. Got to know him and we went riding a couple of times. Got to know the history of the bike so that's a good thing.
The only complain I have on the Vulcan 900 is the missing 6th gear. It feels like you're cruising on high RPM, it gets to me especially on long trips.
I'm not married yet but i do get a stare from my GF, even when I'm just thinking about another bike.
@@reffutama2233 yea my honda shadow had same issue, no 6th gear and cruising at higher speeds for long got tiresome because bike seemed to be over revved. I love that vulcan 650 has 6 gears it is very comfortable for long cruising. It's always good to know the history of a used bike before buying! I'll check out those harleys but I want something with smaller frame.
Buying this for my first bike. 2024 vulcan s cafe abs I'm thinking. Big guy, 5'11'' 310LBS
@@Kephers7 big indeed, definitely sit on it and make sure you get the extended reach configuration. Make sure you comfortable on it and make sure they give you the extended reach seat cuz it has a gel pad cushion so way better then the normal and reduced reach seats. Good luck and ride safe!
@@Kamdorian I did buy the bike. love it! Its so awesome. Already added some mods. 12v, relay, crash bars, heel toe shifter, radiator guard, bar end mirrors, shot adjustable clutch and brake levers. Gonna work on saddlebags and upgraded LED lights soon.
@@Kephers7 that's awesome congrats! The mods sound cool, glad you are enjoying the bike and the fun of doing mods. Good luck and ride safe!
One of the reasons a blinker flashes quickly is because one of the bulbs (front or back) is out.
Maybe check your rear blinker
I have aftermarket headlight and taillight so maybe that's causing the hyper flash. All lights are working. I'll do more tinkering to figure it out. Thanks for the tip!
@@Kamdorian ~ yeah! I love that tail light. Gonna do that. I can’t make the stands fit under my bike, anyway, without removing my license plate. Taking off the rear fender like you did will give me more room to get the arm in.
@@izzojoseph2 yes for sure, I have swingarm stands and they work perfectly after the fender delete. Good luck on the install, those 3 bolts can be a real pain!
@@Kamdorian ~ what kind of stand do you have?
Really crisp video!
What type of camera do you use?
Thanks man! I use a gopro hero 8.
I remember working in that area I love the scenic views that area of NJ even around rocky hill
Yea it's beautiful and so much fun to ride there, getting the bike ready for this riding season
Great vid, thanks for sharing. What year is your bike and what exhaust have you got on it?
Thanks it's 2017 model. The exhaust is from cs racing made in Brazil. You can buy it here with 5% discount using my link csracingusa.com/discount/KAMDORIAN
Hi. Liked your video. It's too bad I didn't know about you. Just traded in my Vulcan 650s for a new Honda Rebel1100 DCT.
I'm in NJ Seabright area. If you guys want to ride sometime it would be great.
Thanks man! I also wanted a rebel 1100 but couldn't find one to buy and then found this used Vulcan. How do you like the rebel? Would love to meet up join the Facebook group here facebook.com/groups/365535114996726/?ref=share
Buenos dias amigo, Thank you friend for your videos, they are very inspiring and your bike is very nice. It's my dream bike, I'm saving to fulfill my dream.
What is the model of glove you are using?
Do you know which sports handlebar models are available for that motorcycle?
Bless🙏🏼
Thank you for watching my friend! You will love this bike. The gloves are called Sedici Lucca gloves here is the link www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sedici-lucca-gloves. You can fit many different handle bars on the bike, some people have put nice ape hangers and drag bars do a Google search and you will see images on forums and also search Instagram. Good luck on getting the bike bro!!
Hey what’s up I’m in Somerset and have a Vulcan too 😁
That's awesome man, join the group here so we can meetup for rides facebook.com/groups/365535114996726/?ref=share
i've been looking at getting one as my first bike. I still need learn though lol but definitely want to be out there next year
Cool man I would recommend taking the msf riding course to get your license. The vulcan 650 is a great starter bike and has enough power to be the last bike you will need even as you gain more experience. Good luck and ride safe once you get your bike!
I love my vulcan my first bike was actually a shadow 1100. I went down in cc with the 650. But love it way more this bike is great to start as well into experience.
@@2mkholley that's awesome i had a shadow 750 but sold it and bought the Vulcan. Only thing I miss about the shadow is the vtwin sound from the vance and hines exhaust.
@@Kamdorian my vulcan came with aftermarket exhaust and it's alot louder then my 1100. I will check the name when I get back home. I still have the shadow the only thing I would say it's better at is comfort! The handlebars are goofy looking but man do they fit just right!
@@Kamdorian forgot to mention my shadow has stock exhaust so that's probably why vulcan is louder lol!
Is you tank mat or glossy? Hard to tell. Love your bike!
Thanks! The tank is matte. This matte black paint was only available on the 2017 model.
Just got a Vulcan 650 s 2021 brand new I can’t find no one to ride with
Congrats man, where are you located? Check Facebook Vulcan 650 groups tons of people from all over in them you could find people to ride with
Can u share the name of those bar end mirrors!! (Sweet)
They are fenrir bar ends from Amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B08PP6CB73?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details
Looking to upgrade my Honda rebel 300. Would a Vulcan S or a Iron 883 be better for a 2 day road trip?
Well for iron 883 it depends on what year the bike is and what kind of seat it has and riding position. For Vulcan the stock seat is not great for long road trips, but you can easily upgrade it. What is your height? The comfort of long ride will depend on the position of the bike handlebars, foot controls, and seat cushion. However both bikes have capable engines for long distance highway riding.
@@Kamdorian thanks for info! I’m only 5”5’ so low seat riding is nice.
@@TruthSeeker9038I am 5'5" too so yea the Vulcan is perfect seat height. I sat on some Harleys and they were a bit too high for me. Best to go try for yourself. Also Harleys can be modified alot I think so there is a possibility of lowering the bike and getting a lower seat so you can easily flat foot the ground. Good luck and ride safe my friend!
@@Kamdorian thanks I appreciate your input!
how did you install the taillight? did you make any adjustments?
Check out my install video linked here. Also check my channel I have videos on all the mods I installed. th-cam.com/video/Q7Gd5sYPokw/w-d-xo.html
👌👍
That was not a polar bear, it was a crashed ufo!
😂 crazy stuff
Theres has motorbike for handycapt
Still have your Vulcan S? I’m in eastern PA and bought one last Feb. Itching to get out. 😂
Yea still got it never gonna sell the Vulcan! Same here man the winter sucks too cold to ride, hope we have a short winter and early spring! Ride safe dude!
whats that seat pad on your saddle? does it have a big impact on your confort compared to the normal saddle and a link where I could find it would be greatly apreciated! ty!
It's a inflatable cushion from Amazon. It definitely improves comfort compared to the stock seat so I can ride for 45min -1 hr before starting to get tired. Stock seat would hurt after 30mins. You can also adjust the amount of air in it to improve comfort. It's a relatively inexpensive upgrade compared to getting new custom seat which is like $700+. Here is the Amazon link amzn.to/3ZMgTRX
@@Kamdorian cheers mate!
Nice!
What exhaust are you running?
Cs racing exhaust. Check the video description for a link to buy it with 5% discount
Glad you’re able to enjoy group rides ( 1 is solo and 2 is a group ! ).. My last group ride was in Jan 2020 😌
Here’s a short video on my Vulcan S accessories:
th-cam.com/video/hckEN90IqEU/w-d-xo.html
I hope to do more group rides this summer with many more riders! Nice video, how do you like the windshield? Does it block all wind from your chest and helmet?
@@Kamdorian My windshield is currently more for aesthetics and less for its intended functionality.. This is because it is not straight ( vertical ) as it is expected to be, so wind gets deflected on my helmet ( instead of over the helmet ) which isn’t too pleasant at high speeds.. The brackets which hold the shield have become rusted in these 2.5 years, so I don’t want to meddle with them to straighten the windshield..
But windshield adds to the beauty of the bike for sure !
i have a vulcan s i use live at bx ny i use to ride up state ny and fort lee nj area . i move to sourhern arizona 9 months ago . best decision ever here you can ride all year around . im gona post some videos . nyc is not a safe place to ride . dont go there .my vulcan s is 2018 ive got full acsesories from kawa . and puig engine guards . two brothers muffler . it looks like a small harley . if i would have been in bx ny i could have joint you guys on aride .but your are in south jersey . go to fort lee nj then up the palisades hwy to bear mountain ny near westpoint army base everybody from the city goes there in the summers lots of moto riders lots of pretty views look it up online . i also have a piaggio vespa mp3 500 3 wheel scooter i use to ride that up there to . now ride it in so az also . also in port jervis ny they got the upper delaware scenic byway that another nice bike rd they calle it the eagles nest moto rd nice . but to go to all those places you have to moto camp or go week end stay in hotel in north jersey from where you at .
Wow so many great places to ride, thanks for all the tips I will surely check them out this summer. I agree ny is too dangerous to ride so I stick to NJ. Would have loved to meet you for a ride! Arizona must be nice, I wish we had warm weather all year here but winters are too cold. One day we will move to a warm state! You should post some videos, I would watch them! Ride safe bro!!
Great vid dude 🤘 Yip, I’m gonna have to upgrade my Vulcan S exhaust now too! 😁
Thanks man, yea upgrade it you will love it..if you want the cs racing exhaust check the video description for a link for 5% discount.
@@Kamdorian Thanks man! Appreciate it
Been riding a few weeks now and already looking ahead to the bike I want after my test. This is definitely the one.
Nice what bike are you riding now? You will love the vulcan, good luck on your test and ride safe!!
Bro I’m a new subscriber, and I enjoy your videos!!😎💯
Thanks for subscribing I appreciate it! Many more videos to come!!
✌🏻
Hey has that airhawk cushion fixed the seat issue for you?
It has improved comfort and allowed me to ride for 1.5 hours before the numbness starts. Definitely better than just stock seat but still not 100% perfect. You can find some cheaper versions on Amazon that should work the same.
I looked for your IG but couldn’t find it.
I did @kamdorian but only found a Harley rider bragging about his Tesla.
Is that you?
Nope that's not me haha I don't have a harley (yet) lol. Try searching just kamdorian it should show up now, same profile pic. What's your instagram handle? I'll follow you.
@@Kamdorian ~ Joe1izzo
Appreciate it. Bunch of motivational stuff.
All my photos and my pics.
I’m thinking about doing what you’re doing.
I’m in northern CA. Near pacific coast highway, Yosemite, Tahoe, Santa Cruz, wine country.
I mean, I’m within half days ride of some of the most beautiful places on earth.
I’m thinking there’s a market for that.
But I’ll DM you on IG for sure
Once you follow me, I’ll return the favor
@@izzojoseph2 I followed you on insta! Cali is awesome I have friends and family in SF and Fremont areas. Visited Yosemite and wine country few years ago, loved it. Yea you have amazing roads and scenery over there, you should definitely start recording and make a channel.
One of the things I love about Jersey is driving to the shore with forest on both sides, then a cut out with a house set back against the trees.
So pretty
Yea many scenic places in NJ to ride, I have yet to take my bike to the beach, will do soon. If you in Jersey we should meetup for a ride. I created a NJ riders group on facebook for meetups. Join here facebook.com/groups/365535114996726/?ref=share
@@Kamdorian ~ dude, I love to meet up but I’d have to take some serious time off!
What phone mount do you have ?
It's a caw.car mount front amazon. It is not the greatest mount, very annoying to get the phone mounted in it but it is secure once mounted. Removal of phone is always annoying but it a decent low cost option. Link is below. I also just bought a quadlock phone mount so will be doing a video on that soon! www.amazon.com/dp/B079Z1CH9B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_7BEYW0Q01161C4MSGJGC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
ok that exhaust is legit
Legit indeed! It's the CS racing exhaust, check the video description for a link to buy with 5% discount.
@@Kamdorian will do
Let me ask you with out the windshield when you let go of the bars dose the front end shake?
Nope does not shake at all! Very smooth
@@Kamdorian I’m going to take off my windscreen I have a horrible vibration it almost goes in to the death wobble
@@Kamdorian at hi speeds with a helmet my head starts vibrating and my neck hurt after a while
@@abemassre1873 yea that is not safe, it could be caused by combination of mounting location and angle or just the height of the windscreen is not right for you. Make sure the angle of the windscreen is matching the angle of the front forks. If that doesn't fix it then yes I would remove.
@@Kamdorian it’s funny you say that I was just looking to see if I can adjust it and I’m unable too so I removed it I can’t wait for it to stop raining so I can take her out and feel the difference
What gear do you recommend for beginner bike
What do you mean by gear? The Vulcan 650 has a 6 gear transmission. If you are a beginner rider you could stay in gears 1-4 and still get around town easily.
@@Kamdorian oh sorry I meant like jackets, gloves and helmets
@@atff99 ohh haha sorry I misread that! I basically went to the Cyclegear store and bought my jacket, gloves, and boots. Here are some links. For gloves www.cyclegear.com/gear/sedici-lucca-gloves. For jacket www.cyclegear.com/gear/bilt-techno-jacket. For boots I have bilt brand as well but can't find the exact ones, these would work www.cyclegear.com/gear/bilt-pro-tourer-waterproof-boots. Your best option is to goto the store and try everything on so it is comfortable and fits well.
@@Kamdorian thank you, appreciate it
Does your headlight make make a ton of noise and vibrate?
I’ve torqued down all the screws multiple times but it seems to still be noisy.
Btw my Vulcan is so similar to yours since I’ve used many of your mod video items on the bike
I have not noticed any noise or vibration, I'll take a closer look and hear next time I ride. Check your tire pressure, If it's too low then it could cause more vibrations overall. What color is your vulcan? I'm glad my videos help man! Modding is a ton of fun.
