BS6 Kawasaki Ninja 300 Features

Apart from introducing new colour schemes, Kawasaki India has implemented no other cosmetic changes in the BS6 Ninja 300. This is a bummer because the baby Ninja has been rocking the same design language for years and the Japanese company should have used this opportunity to give the motorcycle a makeover.

Some of the key features include:

• Twin headlamp setup with halogen bulbs
• Semi-digital instrument cluster
• Petal disc brakes with ABS (290mm front, 220mm rear)
• Side-mounted 2x1 exhaust
• Clip-on handlebars
• Aluminium footpegs
• Split seats
• Alloy wheels
• Conventional 37mm telescopic forks at the front with 120mm of travel
• Gas-charged monoshock at the rear with 5-way preload adjustability

BS6 Kawasaki Ninja 300 Specs

The prime change in the new Ninja 300 is its engine. Although it’s the same 296cc twin-cylinder motor, it now complies with the BS6 emission regulations. The 8-valve, DOHC mill produces 39PS of max power at 11,000rpm and 26.1Nm of peak torque at 10,000rpm. Handling the transmission duties here is a 6-speed gearbox accompanied by an assist and slipper clutch.
