Engine and Transmission
Engine Type Refers to the design and configuration of the engine. Most petrol bikes typically use either a single-cylinder, twin-cylinder, or occasionally a multi-cylinder (like a four-cylinder) engine. | 4st, 2-cyl, Liquid-cooled |
Displacement | 649 cc |
Max Torque Represents the highest rotational force output by the engine, usually measured in Newton-meters (Nm) or pound-feet (lb-ft). It indicates the engine's pulling power. | 62.4 Nm @ 6600 rpm |
No. of Cylinders Indicates the total count of combustion cylinders in the engine. Common configurations include single-cylinder, twin-cylinder, and four-cylinder setups.
| 2 |
Cooling System Describes the method used to dissipate heat from the engine. Petrol bikes often use air-cooling or liquid-cooling systems to maintain optimal operating temperatures. | Liquid Cooled |
Valve Per Cylinder Refers to the number of intake and exhaust valves present in each cylinder. Most modern petrol bike engines have two or four valves per cylinder. | 4 |
Starting Describes how the engine is initiated. Most petrol bikes use electric starters, kick starters, or both, to commence engine operation. | Self Start Only |

Comfort User Reviews of Kawasaki Vulcan S
- You can feel the power
You can feel the power when you sit in this bike, my ratings are 4.2 as it was asked about mileage and maintenance which obviously will be higher.
- Overall verdict of jawa
Overall bike is good but maintenance cost is much higher comparatively. But I love the looks of this
- Good For Riding
The bike is too good on highway’s but the problem is ground clearance, for every road hump we must slow down.
- Wolf in sheep's clothing
Very smooth to ride within and out side the city, negligible heating up in heavy traffic like the Harley's. Amazing pick up in any gear. Can easily be mistaken for a sports bike. Slick handling inspite of long wheelbase .Read More
- Great "Sports Cruiser"
Great Sports Cruiser and a Head turner. It is surprisingly highly maneuverable compared to its size. One issue though is its low 130 mm Ground clearance which often creates issues around Speed bumps in Cities.Read More
