Watch a 2021 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom being unboxed and built completely. From crate to showroom floor.
I never knew how helpful a forklift could be building this bike. Cool stuff!

Do they come prefilled with all the fluids?

They do come filled with oil. Not sure about brake fluid and coolant. Gas and battery acid added at time of purchase.

What happened to torque down the axle, pinch bolt, handlebars, fender bolts, and everything else he used an impact gun on. The manufacturer puts torque values on fasteners for a reason. Wouldn’t want him working on my bike.

PS: Thanks as always Tripp for posting the videos.

Hmm, watching that guy assemble a motorcycle with an impact wrench. 🙄 Now I understand why they want you to bring the bike back for a first inspection and tightening of bolts, after that nutty way of putting it together. Can you buy a new bike in the crate, so you can put it together yourself?

That's a really good question. Years ago it was common to do that. I think today it might void your warranty or go against their insurance policy. Bleh.

Hmmm, nope. Don't want that bike. And if I decide to buy one, I'll ask the dealer to guarantee the bolts are torqued.
