The 2015 Vulcan S engine is derived from Kawasaki’s Ninja 650. Changes to the camshaft profiles, intake and throttle body spacer are geared to improve low-end and mid-range performance for its cruiser application. Kawasaki is positioning the Vulcan S as a bike-for-all, highlighting that changes to the engine make for smoother power delivery, which makes it suitable for novice riders. Kawasaki goes on to say that “its (the Vulcan S) top-end power and nimble handling will also satisfy the demands of more experienced riders. It features a six-speed transmission with Kawasaki’s Positive Neutral Finder, which allows you to simply upshift from first when stopped to select neutral.
