The Ninja 300 is now not only affordable to buy, but is pocket-friendly to maintain as well
The Ninja 300 is now not only affordable to buy, but is pocket-friendly to maintain as well
- Certain parts like the fairing, wheels and brakes see a ten-fold drop in price.
- New prices are in the same ballpark as the KTM RC 390’s spare part costs.
- The bike has been localised heavily, which explains the huge drop in the spare part prices.
In a bid to make the Ninja 300 more alluring, Kawasaki launched a heavily localised (and heavily stickered) Ninja 300 in July last year. And now, the benefits of localisation have trickled down to spare parts too. Anzen Automotive, Kawasaki’s Mumbai dealership has revealed the price list of some of the most common spare parts and here’s how the prices have changed:

The prices have been slashed because instead of importing them, the parts are now made in India. With all extra expenses such as import duties, handling charges and others effectively eliminated, the prices are now around the same ballpark as those of the KTM RC 390. For example, the front wheel assembly in the KTM costs around Rs 5600 while, for the Ninja, it is only around Rs 300 more. Even the Ninja’s clutch cable costs only Rs 80 more than the RC 390’s. The fairing (left side) is also just around Rs 1700 more expensive than the RC 390’s. And given how Bajaj has priced KTM parts very competitively, the new spare part prices for the Ninja are really commendable.

Given the significant drop in price, one would naturally suspect that the quality of parts might have worsened. However, being a Japanese brand that’s obsessed with precision, we hope Kawasaki has stringent quality standards in place for manufacturing these parts in India too. We’ve ridden the new localised motorcycle and found the quality to be on par with the earlier version.
Now with the spare part price drop, expect the sales volumes of the Ninja 300 to go up by quite a margin. The motorcycle costs Rs 2.98 lakh (ex-showroom) and competes with the KTM RC 390, Yamaha YZF-R3, Benelli 302R and the TVS Apache RR 310.
Kawasaki Ninja 300 User Reviews
- Kawasaki Ninja 300 STD | 2022 Model | Lime GreenIt is a fantastic bike. Dual engines. Aesthetically pleasing. Smooth driving and cruising experience. Authentic servicing and maintenance could be a little challenging given the limited number of Kawasaki stores. It offers 25-30 KMPL mileage in the city, and over 30 on highways. The fuel tank capacity is also huge at 17 liters of petrol. Amazing control of the driver on bike even at top-notch speeds.Read More1 1
- A Budget BeastBeen using it for almost 5 years now and never had it left me on the road stranding. The bike is a superstar with almost 26-30 mileage, it is just an unbeatable combination of power and efficiency. Cornering is so much fun after I upgraded the three and barely I was ever unsatisfied with the looks and styling its got.Read More5 7
- Performance and reliabilityI chose Ninja 300 for its performance, strong top-end power as I was about passionate about riding. Its good beginner- friendly and revs without being jerky. Has comfortable ergonomics and is a balanced bike with reliability. So far engine was smooth and linear. Sporty but not aggressive and power is usable for city and highways. Longer rider are somewhat comfortable and is stable. Display and techs are basic and is slightly heavy. Braking could be sharper to some extent. Yes, I would recommend Ninja 300 for smooth, reliable and well-balanced to ride easily and still have fun on rides. It tend to have better performance but lacks some basic features which other bikes in the same segment offer.Read More6 3
- Smooth engine, strong highway performance and sporI choose this bike mainly because of its smooth engine and highway comfort. It feels very stable at high speed and gives confidence while riding. Looks are sporty and premium which I liked. In city suspension feels little stiff but I was ok with that compromise. Ride experience is mostly positive. On highways it feels planted and smooth even at higher speed. Handling is very good and cornering feels safe. Mileage is decent not too low not too high. In city traffic and bad roads you feel bumps little more. Yes I will recommend this bike to people who love riding on highways and enjoy sporty riding style. It is not for someone who want soft suspension or only daily city use. Buy it if you want performance and feel, avoid if mileage is main concern.Read More2 3
