Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

You and me share the same anxiety. I guess that Kawasaki has been a little slow in delivering the bikes (so I feel) I mean its now close to a month since the launch and only two or three members have confirmed receiving one. In my case also at the time of booking on 2nd Apr I was told that I would receive my bike by end of Apr but this has now been stretched to 3rd week of May. So the anxious wait is continuing, also the wait is more painful as I have to pick up the bike almost 300 Kms away from the place of my residence . But the silver lining would be that I would get a decent running in mileage in one shot.

I will service my bike this weekend

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

Wait for couple of weeks, the posts will come in hard and fast ... Just a few more days to go for delivery of my bike. I got a call from the Vashi showroom asking if I wanted Zero depreciation insurance. Since it costs about Rs. 2,500/- more than standard one, I thought it worthwhile to go for the same.

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

Well I would be very glad if you can pour in your reviews. Put the pictures too when you get the bike.

Btw, I have a question for the N300 owners. What tyres do you have? IRC? And how good are they?

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

Hey buddy when are you expecting the delivery of your Ninja? I've booked on April 11 however since then the showroom guys have not yet contacted me even once!!

It is not that I am in a hurry since I'll be taking delivery on 10th June but I am still anxious and wondering why didn't the showroom guys contact me yet...for any communication as such

I think I'll go and pay them a visit tomorrow and check exactly what's happening with my order. As far as I remember you booked the bike after I did, right?

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

It's quite normal. If you booked your bike in a tier 1 city, obviously there is pressure on the showroom for delivery who booked earlier. Your delivery date semms quite late. For my story I booked unofficially first on 29th March in WB. But still arun and some others from different states received their bike I didn't get a single call from them. (Vide. My earlier post in this thread). I escalated the matter to higher authority and they told that the first bije in WB is to be delivered aroynd third week of May, and which will be mine. So Bajaj is already being very late ti deliver it. So I think it's normal. Even after the confirmation from higher official, I still didn't get the exact delivery date from my showroom. But I will show my adherence..

Abhimanyu: When did you book your bike mate?

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

Hi Abhimanyu,

Great choice mate! I've been following your (modding) adventures on the R16 since the very beginning and would love to read what you have to say about the Ninja 300 once it's in your possession. Your detailed posts and writing style are excellent!

I think all of us can take it for granted that your 300 will not remain stock for long too! Judging by the reviews abroad this is an excellent machine, and I feel this is more than enough power for any kind of road in India. Congrats & Cheers!

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

It's been quite some time since I posted something and I do apologise to guys who are waiting for their machines. I know how I was during my waiting period. My only defense is the 13 + work hours I have been going through.

Met with a minor accident on the super smooth (read slippery) JVLR road at a speed of around 20 kph. Chawl boys racing and cutting dangerously forced me to break suddenly and caused me to slip. I had to use the front breaks as my legs were tucked on footpegs and didn't have enough time to use the rear break. Fell to my right and landed straight on my knee and I am thankful for the kneepads without which my knee would have taken the maximum impact. Absolutely no injury to my knee, but since my toes were on the footpegs, my calf got stuck beneath the silencer which inturn caused a burn on my calf. Minor scratches to the fairing, a burnt patch on my leg and a broken heart are the only reminders I have of the unfortunate incident. Any good wax options I can use to polish off the scratches?

I have completed around 650 kms till now and the rides are still as enjoyable as my first. Have taken her to 78 kph max and can feel the power waiting to be unleashed. 800 km mark and then the 1st servicing should be up soon. The second filling gave me a mileage of around 22 kpl taking the average to 25 kpl.

Getting a lot of stares and some idiots who jump in front to slow me down so that they can get a better view of the bike. One guy in a car almost squashed me between his car and the divider so that he could tell me that the headlights were on. I don't approve of murderers but at that moment I could empathize with some of them. .

Planning on getting frame sliders this weekend after checking out the options with nikunj (arsenic). And if I am unable to remove the one deep scratch I have, use a decal on it.

Will try updating this thread on a regular basis. Hope the soon to be owners get their rides asap.

Cheers to all.

Damsels and hot looking bikes have one thing in common. They tend to attract unwanted attention, irony of indian public.
Thank God you escaped with minor injuries. Take care mate

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

I booked my bike about 20 days back. You should be getting a call any time now. Or you can call them up and get the details of delivery of your bike.

Hi Neoakshay, I do remember you. You were one of the first persons to post on my thread. I was and am still waiting for the Triumph Daytona. Its been a frustrating wait for more than a year now. When I told my wife about the introduction of Ninja 300, she insisted that I buy it and when the Daytona becomes available I can buy that one too.

Yes, you are right about my bike not remaining stock for too long. I have the eternal bug to tinker around. However, the first few months will go in getting a complete understanding of how the stock bike performs and identifying areas where changes will give the right results.

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

Sad to hear the incident
