Does a 2002 Kawasaki Vulcan meanstreak have a kill switch when it's low on oil

Its mixn w the coolant..probly need a bottomend rebuild cause berings will b toast. Seek a privateshop

having to hold the clutch in and have the bike in neutral before it will start is more than likely a saftey feature from the manufacturer.

Without being able to inspect the engine personally it sounds to me that you have a blown headgasket. The oil preasure is higher than the coolant preasure and therefore you have the oil in the coolant. Be careful as the oil will clog the radiater which will lead to overheating. I suggest you attend to it immediatly. Good luck and let me know the outcome. Regards Jacques.

Hi is this the oil for the front suspension 10 W/20 the spcified air gap is 136/142 mm
The engine oil type is 10W40 SG, 3.1 litres

The oil filter is located/buried UNDER the motor , on the backside , between the motor and the rear tire.

The clutch slave cylinder is behind the left engine cover. Very simple job to remove. Remove foot peg and shifter and a few bolts and cover comes off. Also no oil will leak out of this cover.

You u need new clucth plates

this fault is probably your carbs need balancing, this should sort the revs rising and falling.
