Oh darn, my wife is heading back to school and needs to have the car to drive there, 25 miles. The truck gets 14mpg so I talked her into letting me get my first Vulcan. Owned 6 bikes in days gone by but back in the saddle after 25 years. I think I'm going to like it here....

Welcome to the Vulcan madness chiller. And 14 mpg, why are you driving my truck ?....,oh never mind it`s still here.
Skim over the Vulcan verses so you have an idea of what is there when you need it. We also have a good list of stuff you will want to do in the link below.
Enjoy the ride here and on your new set of wheels.

Welcome to the best resource for your ride! If you've never taken the MSF basic rider's course, or have but find your skills a little rusty, I would highly recommend it. Even seasoned riders who've taken it say they learned something.

Thanks everyone for the nice welcome! This site reminds me of another group I belong to at regalgs.org. I know I'll like my new ride. I come to you as an electronic engineer with an ASE certification so I may be useful in some instances. My first order of business is to remove the carbs and give them a through going through and change all fluids. Like to have a good baseline to start with.

Welcome Chiller, No words of wisdom to offer up to you yet... but I am sure as time goes on we will be batting out questions and answers to each other on a regular basis.

Welcome. The vulcan is a nice choice to come back to. You will like it.

Welcome to the club, remember you can only have fun riding the VN. You seem to have a lot of work coming up. Along with the fluids, clean up all the electrical connections, they cause a lot of problems on theis bike. If you have read any of the threads a simple volt meter is really needed to keep a close watch of the charging system.

 

[chiller]

Thanks for the tips and welcomes folks. I look forward to my VN experience both here and on the road!

take a look at a mf battery and spline lube, the lube is really important since the factory failed to do it on many models!
welcome to the show!

I got back into riding for the same reason, good gas mileage. I rode about 70 miles round trip and my truck was getting a little better mileage than yours at 18mpg. Now 2 years later I only work about 1-1/2 miles from my house, I miss the long rides to work but I at least I get to keep the bike.
