This Thread is dedicated to all Vaquero Owners and any other interested bikers.
I just got mine and love it. My only little issue, yes it does run hot. Been fairly cool and I was running in the City but but temp gauge was way over....not in the max but way hot I thought. I read somewhere it does that. I'd rather see it in the middle! Otherwise, how do you really know if it really is hot and you have a problem? I'll see the dealer in a couple of days and see what they say.Now have just about 600 miles on my new 2011 Vaquero. No stalling issues what so ever, it has plenty of pickup from a dead start.
Will be changing over to AMSOIL Oil and Filter and a K&N air filter once I have reached that 1000 miles, that may help it to run quieter and cooler.
Hey, it is a big V-Twin and they always put out heat, road a Roadstar for years, air cooled, and a lot of heat.
Here is a quick picture of the new Kawasaki Vaquero stripped down for custom paint and part development. Over the next two weeks we will be adding a bunch of custom parts to this bike to complete for Bike Week.
Great pix of the Vaquero and the new custom paint job, can not wait to see it totally finished and all back together, keep us all posted.
If you have your IPOD already set for random when you hook it up to your bike it should work. Mine does.I'm curious if any owners have the iPod connector and if so have you discovered a way to set your iPod to shuffle songs and not just play in Alphabetical by Artist order, this thing make me crazy.
