- Long, curved 2-into-1 header design contributes to the Ninja 300’s low
- and mid-range torque and smooth, step-free power curve
- Complex geometry silencer design offers modern styling and meets all regulations without compromising engine performance
- Large brushed-finish metal silencer guard reduce noise and helps protect passenger from exhaust heat
- Meets strict Euro 3 emission standards with a single catalyzer in the collector section
- Kawasaki Air Management System (KAMS) uses a special deflector to redirect hot air from the radiator fan, so it exits the bottom of the motorcycle instead of being blown onto the rider
- Lightweight Denso radiator offers effective engine cooling with minimal space and weight
- Fan design uses a quiet-running motor that also saves space
- Fins on the lower side of the crankcase provide additional engine cooling Six-speed Transmission with F.C.C. Assist & Slipper Clutch
- Premium F.C.C. clutch with assist and slipper functions can handle more power with significantly less lever effort than traditional clutches
- Clutch design also makes it easy to modulate and helps reduce the effect of back-torque for reduced wheel-hop when downshifting
- Six-speed transmission features a roller-type shift drum for smooth actuation and strong gears for maximum durability. It also offers wide selection of ratios to match varied riding conditions and its positive neutral finder makes it easy to find neutral when stopped
- Involute splines minimize friction and backlash between gears and shafts for easy gear-meshing and smooth shifting under power
- Dual 32mm Keihin throttle bodies and a digital ECU offer easy starting, crisp throttle response, and help provide low fuel consumption ABS Disc Brakes with Petal-type Rotors
- ABS brakes feature an incredibly compact Nissin ABS unit.
- The entire ABS system weighs only 4.5 lbs.
- Large-diameter, 290mm front petal disc and a balanced action two-piston caliper offer excellent braking performance and a natural, direct feeling at the lever
- Two-piston caliper grips the rear 220mm petal disc Rigid Sportbike Chassis
- High-tensile steel frame uses rigid main pipes for optimum chassis response and steering precision
- Frame design and chassis tuning offer confidence-inspiring stability at both high and low speeds
- Beefy swingarm bracket contributes to the frame’s rigidity and helps achieve an optimal balance of chassis stiffness
- Square-beam swingarm complements the frame’s rigidity Suspension
- 37mm telescopic front fork complements the rigid frame and wide rear tire
- Uni-Trak® rear suspension linkage helps provide predictable sportbike handling and good ride comfort
- Rear shock features 5-way adjustable preload to help manage rear ride height whether riding solo or with a passenger
- Attractive 17-inch 10-spoke wheels allow fitment of modern sportbike tires
- IRC RX-01R tires were developed in conjunction with Kawasaki and are a perfect match for the sporting dynamics of the 2014 Ninja 300 sportbike. They also provide excellent performance over a very wide range of operating conditions High-Tech Instrumentation
- Large easy-to-read analog tachometer
- Multifunction digital display features an easy-to-read speedometer, odometer, dual trip meters, fuel gauge, digital clock and warning lights
- Economical riding indicator (ECO) illuminates to let the rider know when they are operating the Ninja 300 in a manner that will maximize fuel economy Aerodynamic Bodywork
- Sportbike bodywork features an aggressive and edgy design with strong Ninja family DNA that sets the Ninja 300 apart from its lightweight sportbike competitors
- Modern floating windscreen design helps reduce turbulence and rider fatigue
- Aggressive dual-lamp headlight design, minimalist tail section and separate seats further enhance this sportbike’s aggressive appearance
- Two helmet holders conveniently located under the rear seat
