Top 20 2011 kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager - Page 6 Questions & Answers

If the fuel isn't all over the floor, I'd be checking that your riding buddies aren't playing a prank. Otherwise, debris in inlet valve or bad valve or float.

With this much info, its going to be hard to diagnose... Replace all 3 spark plugs with the correct "surface gap" ones. Make sure the battery is FULLY charged! Check the rotor button and the cap for signs of shorting..(dark streaks or smudges inside the cap). The rotor button and the cap condition are CRITICAL!

Try unplugging the Handle Bar Kill Switch.....Sounds like the CDI is grounded.....Make sure the Pick Up wire from the Engine case is plugged into the wiring harness...This is what triggers the CDI to fire the Spark Plug........

you have to supply your own bolts

Try looking at the main fuse (30amp) on the starter solenoid. Make sure handlebar run switch is to on position - we all do it! and also check battery connections are tight - especially the negative lead.

What do you mean by overloaded? Do you mead too high of RPM's? Floating the valves can result in the valves hitting a piston and bending one of them or worse.

While it is possible there is bad battery connections or a relay your description is typical of a discharged battery or likely a battery with a bad cell. Remove and charge the battery and hope that is the end of your problem but if it isn't, replace the battery.

you need to pull the code up and see what it points to

You need 3 thing to fire, air spark and fuel, can you smell fuel at the exhaust tip ? That lets you know you have fuel. Air is a bit trickier to check, but normally it would start or at least fire up and splutter to a stop which would then point to carb needing checked for a blocked jet.

From a dealer or Canadian Tire, or a parts place , maybe Walmart.
