Cruise Control

• Pressure on the brake lever, clutch lever or rear brake pedal automatically disengages the cruise control, as will manually rolling off the throttle
• Cruise control can be activated in 3rd gear or above at any speed between 30 mph and 85 mph
• Cruise control can be engaged and adjusted entirely from the right handlebar

Digital Fuel Injection

• The touring-oriented Voyager utilizes DFI® and an exhaust system tuned to reach peak torque and horsepower at a higher rpm than the engines used in standard Vulcan 1700 cruisers

Dual Adjustable Rear Air Shocks

• Voyager-specific settings match the load carrying and long distance touring requirements inherent in this type of motorcycle
• 4-way rebound damping adjustments help tune the suspension to suit the rider’s preference
• Features air-adjustable spring preload to help compensate for passenger and luggage variations

Electronic Throttle Valve System

• APS and TPS send 2 sets of signals to the ECU for system redundancy in the unlikely event of a sensor failure
• Accurate throttle position is relayed to the ECU by a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
• Twisting the throttle turns a pulley on the throttle body which triggers the Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) to send a signal to the ECU, which then modulates the throttle valves via a DC motor
• From the rider’s perspective, the ETV works like a standard cable-operated throttle; the throttle grip is still connected to cables, so the feel at the grip is the same
• Control of both fuel injection and airflow provides easy starting and precise cold-engine idle speed control
• Optimized fuel injector timing and throttle valve position result in accurate, powerful engine response
• Fully electronic throttle actuation system enables the ECU to control the volume of intake air (via throttle valve angle) and fuel (via fuel injector timing) delivered to the engine

Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-Braking Technology (K-ACT) ABS

• Dual 300 mm front disc brakes with 4-piston calipers and a 2-piston rear disc brake for sure, powerful stops
• ABS function is disengaged at speeds below 4 mph
• For increased controllability in tight corners and when executing U-turns, K-ACT’s coactive function does not engage when braking is initiated at speeds below 12 mph
• Low battery mode maintains ABS function while reducing signal frequency to conserve power when needed
• Voyager ABS features Kawasaki’s sophisticated K-ACT II system, which helps riders to execute controlled, balanced braking. Designed to complement the riders’ brake inputs, the system distributes the ideal amount of brake pressure to maximize braking efficiency.
