Thanks for the review I’ve got a 2022 and agree with all what you said Good bike for a ride in town Tried to hit some highway but wasn’t good idea without my windshield Thanks again Natheer from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Es ist so ein schönes Video. Dieses Motorrad sieht vollkommen anders aus, wie hier in Europa. Beinahe, wie eine Indian Polizei Maschine. Grüße aus Frankfurt. Gute Fahrt. 😊
Your videos are always helpful. Is there anyway that you could tell me which way the two fuel lines on the left side of the tank get connected? I think one is a fuel return and a vent maybe? My tank is marked with a blue dot but neither hose is marked. One of the hoses runs down through the bike and out by the kickstand, should it be connected to the port on the tank with the blue dot or the other port? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was hoping I could see it in your video but you didn't go that far with the tank removal
Hey thanks for dropping by and commenting. So in this video I wasn't going to take the tank off but I can help you with the tube hanging down by the kickstand. That is an overflow tube from the fuel tank. It doesn't get plugged in anywhere it just hangs there. I hope this helps some, have a good one and stay safe.
BigKat, I too swapped out the OEM brakelight for the chrome glow. What is the name of the rear turn signals? I've also had similar complaints about the rear turn signals and visibility. Thanks
Hey thanks for the view and comment. I bought a set of Kuryakans that were on the shelf of my local Kawasaki dealership. I believe it would have been these... www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/kuryakyn-by-kellermann-atto-turn-signal?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgqGrBhDtARIsAM5s0_l-6K8d1Icvzm65JMgLyLOKpaUHhZv2DDVOuJQfcL0Fmz5-BwZMOTwaAq01EALw_wcB
*Thanks ‘BigKat Motorvlogs’ Informative content. I’m 74 years old biker. Started riding two years ago. First motorcycle =RE= Meteor 350 Built in India. 30,000 km that baby cruiser gave me Wry Neck, still hurting in the mornings. Those nasty vibrations! Neuropathy, too after one-two hours in the saddle. I love touring, long rides to northern Thailand. Mountain Carving. NO more ROYAL Enfield 350 cc! How about the new =RE= Super Meteor? No Thank. I chose KAWASAKI Built in Thailand. Because of their fireproof legacy, reputation and service throughout THAILAND. I’am Johnny BikeSanooK! TH-camr, too. My channel CarSanooK*
Hey thanks for the compliment and the comment. I hope to still be riding at 74, that's very cool! I don't have any experience with RE but I know of at least one person that had some wild adventures on hers but it was a Himalayan. You may have seen her channel "Itchy Boots". But for the reasons you listed, you're right the Kawasaki is much better for you. Keep riding buddy!
I have a 2023, and it seems the twitchy throttle has been addressed a bit over the earlier bikes, but it pays to be careful. And a gear indicator has been added to the LCD a few years ago.
That's good they addressed the twitchy throttle some as it can be jarring if you don't expect it. And also cool they put the indicator on the LCD. I can see on mine where it should have gone but for whatever reason they didn't add it in the earlier models. Have a good one and thanks for the comment.
Hey thanks for the comment and compliment. So I went with the little sniffer option as I wasn't intending on keeping this bike for more than a year or two. But now I'm thinking I might want to see if there's a legit ECU flash for something a bit more complete and ditch the sniffer option altogether.
BigKat, 1.) The SHAD saddle bags-cost & measurements? 2.) The Matt Gecko LED head light & light bar! Cost? 3.) That "angry sewing machine" exhaust pipe, 😱🥺, my mom would be ripping it right off with her bare hands-shes been seeing for near 60 years, if she heard that vile thing-she'd come after it with a bazooka to get rid of that "noise polluter"!😫 These are the two items that I need to change. The pipe can "live" for about 10 minutes. Doug🏍️👍😎🤓
Thanks for watching! The Shad SH23 bags are going for 199.00 right now and the dimensions are W: 19.37" x H: 13.58" x D: 10.43". The Matt Gecko light is 298.00 , not a bad deal, cheaper than what I paid lol. The light bar is Kawasaki OEM and costs 458.95 currently. If I were to change the pipe I believe I would roll Delkevic 410MM 2 into 1 black ceramic slash cut.
Thanks for the review

Thanks for the comment, and wow Saudi Arabia!! Ride safe!!
I have a 2022 Vulcan S and what a dream of a ride to own. Absolutely love owning it.
The KVS is definitely a solid platform and shouldn't be overlooked. Enjoy your ride man 😊.

@@BigKatMotovlogs much appreciated. Did you drill into the back fender?

Nice review. I had an 06 650 ninja w the same on/off low speed twitch. Power commander and a laptop, smoothed it out. No real loss of mpg.

Your mom determines what exhaust you have on your motorcycle?
