Electrical Problems

I bought a Custom 900 several months ago and have really enjoyed it (it is my first bike).



The problem is, it's been in the shop three times now for electrical problems. I got shocked when I started it, the blinkers all died, the battery died one day and now the back lights are dead.



Wish I ha...d bought another bike. Read Full Review

Noises

this is a great bike except for the rubbing noise that hits at 20-122 mph. sounds like the belt. Dealer is deaf and cant seem to hear it even though it vibrates through the handle bars as well as emitting a loud humming sound. its not the tranny nor the engine and is consistent with wheel tur...n speed. also the choke idle will periodically run the rpms way high. like 20mph in first without touching the throttle Read Full Review

new owner

I purchased my 900 in april,10. Have approx 4,000 miles. Like the bike a great deal with a couple of exceptions. A strange noise coming from the rear wheel--appears to be consistant with rear tire speed.Seem to get louder if the bike has been out on the hwy for time at speed. Also has a scraping so...und coming from the belt---dealer can't figure it out. Have installed a lot of accessories that have made the bike very comfortable on the road. Ultimate seat w/backrest for driver and pass.rack, hwy pegs,cruise control, leatherlyke hard bags, w/s amd handlebar risers.--it all makes a big difference. Did 1700 miles on one trip-very happy except noises. Read Full Review

FUN FUN FUN

A week ago I purchased a new 2010 vn900 Custom SE I rode KZs back in the day and was skeptical about riding a cruiser style bike. This bike handles like a dream very comfortable to rideand good power. My only complaint would be a 6th gear as highway riding has the motor thumpin really good. Read Full Review

2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom

I bought a 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom back in March 2001. It was a birthday present to myself. Sense I bought the bike I haven't had any problems with it. It rides smooth and it is very comfortable bike to ride. I have changed the stock exhaust to a set of Road Burner Street Pro's. They ar...e kind of loud even with the baffles in them. People hear you coming down the road with these pipes. When I bought the bike it came with 2000 dollars worth of extras already on the bike. Read Full Review
