Motorcycle Throttle and Choke Cables for Kawasaki Vulcan 1500

In 1987 Kawasaki launched its signature 1500 series. Always the champion of the twin-V engine, Kawasaki expanded its power stroke concept in 2002 with the 1600 Nomad and advanced the concept further in 2006 with the 1700 Nomad. The power supply for each of these bikes is regulated by a motorcycle throttle and a choke cable of advanced design.

Kawasaki began offering motorcycle models in 1985. The Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 series sported a 1.470 cc engine controlled by a throttle cable for quick acceleration and deceleration. Kawasaki built the 1600 Nomad bike with a 1.552 cc engine that was placed into production in 2002 and continued until 2008. The motorcycle throttle or choke system was essentially the same. The 1700 Nomad has a 1.700 cc power unit controlled by a throttle or choke cable.

A hesitation in acceleration or deceleration is dangerous for any motorcycle operator. The problem, at the worst, may be due to worn rings which will require a power unit overhaul of your Vulcan. However, the likely reason for the acceleration or deceleration problem is the throttle or the choke cable.

These cables are constructed for longevity. However, like any other moving part, damage hampers the smooth action of the cable. This cable increases and decreases the aperture through which fuel flows. Any buildup of material in the cable that may block smooth action causes the aperture to remain in its former position. Kinks along a Vulcan choke cable are a big cause of this problem. Weather wear is not a normal suspect, though rust can contribute to the issue.

If you have an accident, you should inspect your Kawasaki motorcycle to see if your choke cable needs to be replaced. Every bike should be inspected after an accident. It does not matter the type of accident, as any accident can cause harm to more than the chrome and paint of your vehicle. There may be damage not observable to the eye. Also, gunk buildup in the cable line can interfere with a smooth transfer of instructions. Oil, dirt, or any other debris can cause a buildup of gunk. If there is gunk buildup or rust in your cable, it may be time to replace it.

Replacing your choke cable works along the line of replacing your tires, front spokes, or brake pads. The replacement of the cable is considered an essential upkeep of any Cruiser like the Vulcan 1500 Classic.
