Kawasaki Ninja description
* Price shown is based on the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) and is subject to change. MSRP excludes destination fees, optional accessories, applicable taxes, installation, setup and/or other dealer fees.The Ninja 300 is the best lightweight sportbike available today, bar none. It is more than capable of surprising hard-edged competitors with twice its displacement in tight and technical conditions. That exceptional dynamic capability shouldn't be a surprise; considering the Ninja 300 boasts many of the same performance-enhancing features found on larger Ninja models, such as a digital fuel injection system and an F.C.C. clutch with assist and slipper functions. Compared to most sportbikes, the Ninja 300 also offers a more comfortable seating position and an easy reach to the ground, for ease of use and max day-to-day riding enjoyment. Key Features Low 30.9-inch seat height and tapered seat boosts confidence for smaller riders 296cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin design offers far superior highway passing power and clearly dominant acceleration compared to other lightweight sportbikes Digital Fuel Injection (DFI) system uses dual 32mm throttle bodies and provides outstanding throttle response and superb fuel economy F.C.C. clutch with assist and slipper functions provides excellent power handling capabilities with a light feel at the lever. Design also makes clutch easy to modulate and reduces the effect of back-torque to help minimize wheel hop when downshifting Sportbike bodywork features an aggressive and edgy design with strong Ninja family DNA that sets the Ninja 300 apart from its lightweight sportbike competitors High-tensile frame provides optimum flex for superior feel and agility compared to the competition 10-spoke 17-inch sportbike wheels look great and can fit premium sportbike rubber for optimum handling 6 gear transmission features a roller-type shift drum for smooth actuation coupled with strong gears for max 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 Kawasaki Air Management System (KAMS) uses a special deflector to channel hot air from the back of the radiator, so that it exits the bottom of the motorcycle, instead of being blown onto the rider when the fan is active. This makes hot days and slow traffic much cooler than it would be if riding another brand of lightweight sportbike296cc Parallel-Twin Cylinder Engine Compact parallel-twin design offers good mass centralization for nimble handling Tuned to deliver smooth, step-free power with excellent mid-range and high-rpm power for effective highway performance Low-friction cam chain design promotes max power and efficiency Moderate 10.6:1 compression ratio allows the use of regular 87-octane unleaded gasoline and helps reduce operating temperatures High-tech pistons reduce reciprocating weight and feature a hard anodized coating to minimize friction and boost performance at every rpm Sleeveless open-deck die-cast aluminum cylinders are minimize weight and feature a friction-reducing T-treatment plating Crank journal bearings are made from a strong alloy for max durability Large-volume 2.4 liter oil pan features cooling fins and excellent ground clearance Easy-to-access cartridge type spin-on oil filter helps simplify maintenanceExhaust System 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 three emission standards with a single catalyzer in the collector sectionLiquid Cooling with KAMS 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 coolingSix-speed Transmission with New F.C.C.
