SOURCE: oil drain plug

Hi
It is located on the right side just under the oil tank ; if you follow the rudder hose that exits the rear right side of your oil tank it leads to the bottom of the frame under this is the oil plug. This hose has a plug clamped to the end of it or stuck into a prug that is welded to the frame.
After this unclamp and pull the plug to make sure that you have the dipstick out before pulling it loose.

Please do rate the solution as "FixYa" if found useful and revert for further assistance.
Thanks Rylee

SOURCE: how do I change the oil my 1997 Kawasaki Vulcan

The drain plug is located at the center of the bottom of the engine case. Check here for filter options:
www.vulcanforums.com

I would recommend the longer filters for additional filter element surface, but you should be able to find a quality option at any auto parts store. Double check to make sure the old filter gasket does not stick to the engine case. The capacity is 3 U.S. quarts for a change w/filter, and 2.8 quarts without. Refill at the slotted cap on the left side case- if you do not want to scratch up the cover by using a screwdriver on the cap, find a large washer that fits in the slot tightly and use a screwdriver for leverage to open it. When reinstalling, hand tight is good enough.

Kawasaki problems

A 4 year old bike is too young for those kind of problems.

I would not fiddle with it, let a service tech do it. Bike is too new for driveway hack fixes.....That's just how I feel.

How do drain and add fork oil on a 2007 kawasaki vulcan 900 classic?

If you don't know by looking at the service/workshop manual, take it to a specialist suspension place. You could do more harm than good.

What type of oil is best for my 2002 Kawasaki Vulcan classic? How much does it hold with a new filter? Where is the drain plug located?

Synthetic is best but also $$$$$$. Just buy your oil from dealer, mine holds a hair under 4 qts (i use 4 qts) with filter. drain plug is under motor assy (bottom)

Need to tune and change oil on 1996 Kawasaki vulcan 1500

a complete tune up consists of new fuel filter, oil filter, oil, plugs, valve adjust, carb sync and plug wires(optional).. if there is no dipstick, there must be a sight glass on one side of the engine down low. on that model i believe the oil filter is underneath along with the drain plug. there should be (2) 17mm bolts, one for drain plug the other for filter.
