Edaran Modenas Sdn Bhd (EMOS) and Kawasaki have a strategic partnership in Malaysia, with Modenas serving as the country's official distributor of Kawasaki motorbikes. Through a licensing deal with Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd. of Japan, Modenas assembles and sells Kawasaki motorcycles in Malaysia. The collaboration allows both organizations to benefit from each other's knowledge, resources, and distribution networks in the Malaysian market.
Up until now, Modenas had been marketing Kawasaki's premium models in Malaysia still badged under Kawasaki branding. However, for the 2023 model-year, Modenas has released the Vulcan S in the Southeast Asian country, not under Team Green's marque, but rather, under the Modenas brand. Apart from the branding change, however, the Malaysia-spec Vulcan S is mechanically identical to the one available in the global market. It retails for RM36,500 ($8,125 USD) for the Metallic Flat Spark Black colorway, and RM37,200 ($8,280 USD) for the Matte Sage Green paint scheme.
