  • Nice bike. You have a great wife my friend, So let her know it.lol I have one as well a 04 model, that is. My wife did not give me a bike. I like the way the gauges are on your bike, There where they should be. Mine is on the gas tank, and it makes it harder to see the speed while riding. I do have a ? for you. How much oil does it take to fill with a filter change. Another what MPG to a tank do you get ? BTW I like your wheels better then the spooked type mine has. Thank's in advance, yl

  • @ylism Thanks. The '96 takes 3.2L to change the oil and filter. Gas mileage is somewhere between 50-60 MPG depending how you ride. 2.5 gallon tank.....so 100-120 miles to the tank. I think yours is like a 3-4 gallon tank?? Mag wheels are kinda nice...no need to tune anything. Belt drive....the older Vulcans are pretty low maintenance.

    Enjoy your ride, and ride safe.

  • @p0kerp1aya what's the mgp?

  • @ilikesuzuki between 50-60 mpg....depends on how you ride

  • If you need help figuring anything out with her check out vulcan500 . com

  • @quimrider1 thanks :)

  • Nice... my first bike also was a Vulcan 500... a 1994... loved that bike.

  • @p0kerp1aya I just took note that I said my wheels where Spooked, Instead of having spoke's. Yes mine does have a 4 gal tank, and I get around 200 -220 miles before needing around 3.24 gal of gas. Would be nice to have the belt drive. I would like to find an older bike with all those parts. I would change some over. Unless the bike was a good running bike. Then I would have 2. Thank's for the info on the oil. I would think there the same in that respect.. Thank's again, yl

  • I think I like 'Christine'.... Christine! Evil Kawasaki of Doooooooom!

  • Looks like you have belt drive. In mid 1996 they switched to chain drive.

    With the mags and belt drive it makes for way less maintenance.

    My Vulcan 500 is a 1991 named CruNinja.
