Overview

The Kawasaki Ninja 300 ABS is a sportbike from the 2014–2016 model years. The 2016 model uses a 296 cm³ liquid-cooled parallel-twin four-stroke engine producing 39 hp (29 kW) and 27.0 Nm of torque at 10,000 rpm, with a wet weight of 174 kg.

The 785 mm seat height gives a clear measure of how high the rider sits, while the 174 kg wet weight is the mass to manage at low speeds and while parking. Peak torque arrives at 10,000 rpm, so the engine needs to rev high to reach its maximum torque. Fuel consumption is estimated at 3.41 L/100 km, and the 17-liter tank gives a calculated full-tank range of about 499 km. ABS is fitted to both disc brakes, and the rear suspension’s five-way adjustable preload lets riders adapt it to different loads.

Pros and cons

Advantages

  • ABS on both brakes

    The front and rear disc brakes have ABS to help reduce the chance of wheel lock during hard braking.

  • Adjustable rear preload

    Five preload settings let the rider adjust the rear suspension for different loads.

  • Long calculated range

    The 17-liter tank and estimated 3.41 L/100 km consumption give a calculated range of about 499 km.

Things to consider

  • Chain final drive

    The chain needs periodic cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.

  • Peak torque at high rpm

    Maximum torque arrives at 10,000 rpm, so the engine must be revved to reach its torque peak.

How to measure

Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.

Estimated ground reach

Both feet likely flat

You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
