Technical Overview
1992 Kawasaki EN 400 Vulcan Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 1992 Kawasaki EN 400 Vulcan custom - cruiser motorcycle, Kawasaki features a 399 cc (24.4 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 45 HP (32.8 kW) at 9,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 112.8 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the EN 400 Vulcan measures 182 kg (401 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.25 HP/kg (4.04 kg per horsepower). The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 200 km (124 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 150 km/h (93 mph).
