Would you be able to tell me the correct way to connect the vent hoses on the left side of the tank. My tank is marked with a blue dot but the hoses are not? Should the hose that runs down the bike an out by the kickstand connect to the port with the blue dot or the other one? Any help would be appreciated thanks great video.
I had the same issue, the cables are not marked therefore I marked the cables accordingly to avoid confusion. I marked the cable with two bands of rubber where the blue spot is so I would know how to plug it back in
@@nathangarciamuro yes I watched your videos, very helpful. My only issue was figuring out which hose went to which port. I was able to find a diagram online and get it sorted. Thank you very much for your help and responding.
@@nathangarciamuro I would have changed it at 8,000 miles or 12,000 kilometers. I thought maybe you went overboard, but seems the service manual calls for it to be replaced at 18,000 kilometers.
@@joemann7971 thanks. Maybe I went over board. It was time to learn how to dismantle the gas tank and I took the time as well to learn to change the filter.
Do you have a video on how to replace the spark plugs? That will be a great thing to learn. For the common things is not that hard once you see it done for the 1st time. I guess there are bikes out there much more difficult to mess around with. I would not imagine to do anyrthing for example in a BMW
@@nathangarciamuro on my 300X it is much easier, just remove seat and the top of the filter box is right there, my Vulcan S is situated almost like they don’t want it to be changed!
@@nathangarciamuro here inThailand it’s very different, the labour is so low it’s almost a joke, buuuuut the original Kawasaki parts are expensive, but then if you take a bit of time you can find a lot of much cheaper parts from alternative manufacturers, and most of them as good as original. Some people say oh shock horror would never use a copy and stick with originals, like everything else in this world you have the choice.
@@ragbag46 I don’t use original Kawasaki parts. For the filter for example I got a high performance filter and reusable for the same price as a normal Kawasaki filter. I rather do the maintenance myself since the Vulcan S is quite easy to work on. My next job will be to change the breaks.
Nice! Would you happen to have a video outlining the spark plug replacement?
Sorry, i don’t have one. I wish. I haven’t gone that far yet.

By the way I have a video on how to remove the gas tank which shows you where the breather tubes connect.

Good job!! How long do you recommend replacing the filter? I have a vulcan 2018/2019
I changed mine at 18000Km and it was quite worn out and dirty.
How many miles does the air filter of the Kawasaki Vulcan 650 change?
Read the maintenance manual, it should give a good estimate. I changed my at 18000 Kilometers and it was quite dirty and worn out.

ill give you thumbs back
It's a bitch of a bike to work on because of the space and wiring, the left side spark plug is a nightmare to get out

@@nathangarciamuro I dont but may record myself next time I change the plugs

that a pain in the ass that filter location omg
Sure it is but I believe the placement of the air filter in all bikes are a pain in the bud.

@@ragbag46 of course, they need to make some money with maintenance time.
