POWER ANDPRECISIONVULCAN® S MOTORCYCLES
1 ENGINE Derived from the Kawasaki Ninja® sportbike, the 649cc parallel twin engine of the
Vulcan® S ABS motorcycle turns out incredibly smooth power, tuned for a strong
delivery in the low- to mid-range. Predictable roll-on power helps build confidence
while the sportbike DNA of the Vulcan S cruiser shines through as the revs climb,
offering a surprisingly spirited ride in the high-rpm range. The compact engine
contributes to the overall lightweight and effortless handling of the Vulcan S, making
it both friendly and appealing to riders looking for some sport muscle.
2 SUSPENSION The Vulcan S is built to accommodate a variety of riders not only with its
adaptable ergonomics, but with its suspension, too. The rear shock features a
seven-position preload adjuster that can optimize the rear suspension for the
rider and/or cargo weight, ensuring a smooth, comfortable ride for a wide range
of riders. Adjustments can be made to suit rider preference—a softer setting for
a plush feel or stiffer setting for a sportier ride.
3 WHEELS & TIRES Sportbike-inspired wheels and performance tires enable responsive handling
and highlight the generous lean angles of the Vulcan S. With a focus on fun, the
stylish twin-spoke alloy wheels and radial tires grip the ground with sure-footed
control for a predictable ride. Working in tune with the slim, lightweight chassis,
the ground-gripping proficiency of the Vulcan S provides confidence for riders,
while also offering sporty capability.

KAWASAKI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD. (KHI)
KAWASAKI STRONG
MOTORCYCLES
Since KHI built its first motorcycle engine in
1953, it has never stopped pushing technology
to arm riders with what they need to dominate
the streets. Advanced engineering, exhaustive
testing and tireless passion go into every
motorcycle every time rubber hits the road.
From industry-first features to the features
that have evolved over a long history, KHI’s
innovations will never stop feeding the
insatiable appetites of riders around the world.
BULLET TRAINS
You already know KHI builds machines that
move people. But, did you know it also builds
machines that move thousands of people—all
at once? We’re talking trains here. From New
York City subway cars to Japan’s hyper-speed
bullet trains, Kawasaki has been in the business
since 1906. Whether a 186-mph bullet train or
a 1,441cc Ninja® ZX™-14R motorcycle, KHI likes
to believe that the technology that goes into
moving thousands of people has a positive effect
on how it goes about moving just one.
ROBOTICS
If robots are the future, then KHI has been
shaping it since 1969 when the company built
its first industrial robot. KHI continues to be a leader
in the development of robots for a diverse number of
processes including: assembly, handling, welding, painting
and sealing. Kawasaki robot technology is being used every
day to manufacture motorcycles and other products.
KAWASAKI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD. (KHI) With 130 years of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI) engineering building the heaviest, most durable and complex
machines on the planet, Kawasaki STRONG is a name we can claim. KHI builds tunnel-boring machines that connect
continents and trains that carry millions of New Yorkers in and out of the city 24 hours a day, seven days a week. From
these engineering monsters to the last bolt on the Vulcan® S cruiser, KHI engineering says, over and over: Use me. Rely
on me. I’m built to ride.

You already know KHI builds machines that
move people. But, did you know it also builds
machines that move thousands of people—all
at once? We’re talking trains here. From New
York City subway cars to Japan’s hyper-speed
bullet trains, Kawasaki has been in the business
since 1906. Whether a 186-mph bullet train or
a 1,441cc Ninja® ZX™-14R motorcycle, KHI likes
to believe that the technology that goes into
moving thousands of people has a positive effect
on how it goes about moving just one.
ROBOTICS
If robots are the future, then KHI has been
shaping it since 1969 when the company built
its first industrial robot. KHI continues to be a leader
in the development of robots for a diverse number of
processes including: assembly, handling, welding, painting
and sealing. Kawasaki robot technology is being used every
day to manufacture motorcycles and other products.
KAWASAKI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD. (KHI) With 130 years of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI) engineering building the heaviest, most durable and complex
machines on the planet, Kawasaki STRONG is a name we can claim. KHI builds tunnel-boring machines that connect
continents and trains that carry millions of New Yorkers in and out of the city 24 hours a day, seven days a week. From
these engineering monsters to the last bolt on the Vulcan® S cruiser, KHI engineering says, over and over: Use me. Rely
on me. I’m built to ride.
