Overview
The 2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom SE is a cruiser powered by a 903 cm³ four-stroke V-twin. It produces 79 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm and weighs 277 kg.
Its 686 mm seat height gives the bike a low seating position, while the 1,646 mm wheelbase and 277 kg weight can make tight, low-speed maneuvers demanding. The rear suspension has seven-way adjustable preload, and the Kevlar belt final drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment; 140 mm of ground clearance leaves limited room for tall obstacles.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
The 686 mm seat height makes it easier for many riders to reach the ground at stops.
Belt final drive
The Kevlar belt does not need the cleaning and adjustment required by a chain.
Adjustable rear preload
Seven-way preload adjustment lets the rear suspension be set for different loads and preferences.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speed
At 277 kg, the bike takes more effort to maneuver through tight spaces and parking lots.
Limited obstacle clearance
The 140 mm ground clearance leaves less room for tall road obstacles.
