Forget the fuel gauge. Find out how far your bike will go on a tank of gas and reset your trip meter each time you refuel. When you have gone about 100 miles, fill up.

SOURCE: remove the seat

First, remove the pillon seat behind the driver seat. Use a metric socket wrench to remove the mounting bolt at the back center of the pillon. Note the 'retaining strap' over the pillon. You can remove one of the side screws that hold this strap and swing it aside, but this is not absolutely necessary. Once the pillon mounting bolt is out, lift the pillon slightly and pull it to the rear. Be careful not to let metal parts scratch your rear fender. Now look at the hex socket bolts holding the driver seat to the rear fender. These are removed with a metric hex wrench (Allen wrench). Don't mess with these unless you can fit the bolt socket exactly. There should be a hex wrench in your Vulcan toolkit. When these have been removed, the driver seat can be lifted up and back to remove. It's a real mess under there, isn't it? To re-install, reverse the order of the above -- driver's seat goes in first, bolts secured and then the pillon. Don't force anything. If either seat is hanging up above its mounting position, you don't have the seat 'tongue' in its socket.

SOURCE: horsepower rating

I can tell you what mine is. I have a K&N Air filter and Cobra Power pro 2 into 1 pipes on it. Also a Power Commander USB III. I had it dyno tuned (each cylinder) and the results are Maximum HP 75.01 and 78.24 ft-lbs torque. I'm not sure what it is stock. Probably in the 62 to 68 range. The dyno tuning made a HUGE difference in how smooth the power curve is.

SOURCE: how to change oil on a 2003 Kawasaki Vulcan 750

Firstly run your engine till you reach its normal running temp .The engine drain plug will be found under neath the engine normally at the lowest part .Warm oil drains out of the engine much more quickly that cold oil ..when all the oil stops dripping then remove the oil filter ,make sure that the sealing ring is removed ,take care the oil in the filter will be very hot .replace with your new filter make sure you do not cross thread the oil filter unit and any seals have been fitted . Refit your drain plug and fill up to the required level . start engine ,your oil level will drop because the oil filter will fill up and the new oil will be pumped around the engine. make sure that the engine level is topped up when all the oil has reached all the parts of the engine .Do not over fill the engine as this will cause unwanted pressure .and oil leaks .Remember to replace the oil filler cap and that its tight .

My odometer stopped working on my 1995 Vulcan 800.

Real easy. Look down at the back of your instrument cluster (you said '95 so I'm giving directions for tank cluster) you'll see three bolts in a triangle. the one at the bottom holds the cluster to teh tank. Remove it, speedo cable simply unscrews from the back of the speedo. Note very very carefully how the cable is routed it is absolutely essential that you route it right or you won't have a happy result. The bottom end is simply 1 screw undo and pull it out. Both ends simply have a squared off hard steel shaft that slide in no problems with little gears, very simple BUT make very sure you route the new one exactly the same as the one you take out. If you need any more help let me know
