Hey all,
new to kawasaki motorcycles and just bought a 2000 Vulcan vn800a with 14K miles. it didn't come w/ the owners manual, i have ordered one but in the meantime, how do i check the oil level and what oil should i use in the bike. i live in TX so the heat in the summer is an issue.

one other thing. what is the PRI setting on the fuel selector valve for? i have had Hondas in the past and they did not have this position.

thanks

 

i'd like to know, too. same situation basically. 2002vn800a w 6000 miles. beautiful. haven't ordered my owners manual yet, but i need to check the oil and such. i'm putting the miles on it as quick as i can and i want to keep it working great.

 

PRI stands for prime. as far as oil i don't know

 

there should be a little sight glass on the right side of the motor and should be up to the top line.

 

Does anybody have a link where to get the owners manual? With my bike I got two service manuals but no owners manual also.

 

ok the oil sight glass is on the left side way under the bike. i just happened to notice mine when i had it towed to the shope after my clutch broke. :-) its ok now though. as far as oil, still not sure. i had the shop change mine because i got busy and was desperate.
