How do you check the oil on a vulcan 1500?
It takes two people, at least on my 2005 1500 vulcan classic. There is a window on the bottom right side of the engine. Hold the bike level and look through the sight glass.

What is vulcanization?
The process of treating materials, such as rubber, to make it less sticky, and more durable. The process (named after the Roman God Vulcan) uses heat, and chemicals, such as s…ulfur. Tires for cars are made of vulcanized rubber. (MORE)

How do you turn down the idle Kawasaki Vulcan Vulcan 900?
On the side of your air filter closest to the front forks you will find a small knob about 3/4 of the way up. After your bike has warmed up adjust the idle to where you want i…t, if you have a tach around 800 -900 rpm. Without a tach adjust to the where it sounds good then check to see if there is any stalling problems or lag when accelerating under load. Adjust accordingly. (MORE)

What is the process of vulcanization?
Vulcanization is a chemical process for converting rubber or related polymers into more durable materials. It is a chemical process in which polymer molecules are linked to ot…her polymer molecules by atomic bridges composed of sulfur atoms or carbon to carbon bonds. The end result is that the springy rubber molecules become cross-linked to a greater or lesser extent. The vulcanized rubber is harder, more durable, and more resistant to chemicals and other damage. The surface becomes smoother and less likely to stick to metal or plastic. A lot of products are made with vulcanized rubber including tires, shoe soles, hoses, and hockey pucks. Today's major problem with vulcanization is the irreversibility of the process. (MORE)

Who invented vulcanizing?
Vulcanazation (the adding of hot sulpher to rubber to make it durable) was either developed or stumbled upon (depending on who you believe!) by Charles Goodyear in the U…SA. The process was developed simultaniously by Thomas Hancock in the UK - in fact, Hancock patented the process in the UK a few weeks before Goodyear patented the process in the US. (MORE)

Is it possible can you vulcanize silicone rubber vulcanize in a oven?
Yes, It is possible to vulcanize rubber in a home oven. You would still need Metal mold frames, metal covers for the mold frames and metal clamps to hold it all together. ther…e are various kinds of rubber, some are very temerature-sensitive and will not provide good results in a home oven, and some are more forgiving and can give good results. the key is to calibrate your oven - use a thermometer to measure the oven's temperature and do not rely on the oven's buttons/gauges. as a thumb rule - the shrinking kinds are more forgiving and the non-shrinking kinds require more accurate temperature settings, but the bottom line is - Yes You Can!

Why rubber is vulcanized?
Rubber is vulcanised to make it more stable and durable by adding sulphur at a high temperature. Vulcanization generates many sulfur-bond cross links between the rub…ber molecules, hardening the rubber and making it more elastic. Without these bonds rubber is a sticky gooey jelly like material.
