    Availability of spare parts will be less concerning now and the service model might be changed.
    Localization does not mean availability of spares at low cost. You will need to consider the spares pricing of RR310 which is manufactured locally. With just 27 outlets across the country servicing options are still going to be limited and costly compared to KTM.

    Today I was going through this forum to know about ownership reviews, read many posts and frankly I'm kind of shocked to learn about the state of affairs wrt the availability and price of spares and service.

    Being in Mumbai, I think might get spares, but due to scarcity, service would be exorbitantly charged 'by the hour', as I got to know they are charging after breakup with Bajaj. But overall, to me, it seems like a pain, that even after paying 3.5L, we can't have peace of mind during ownership. It sort of breaks my heart. [emoji29]

Stock headlights felt really good for me.
    Stock front are pretty good, I agree. But since I was going all LED, indicators included, I thought I might do the front as well.

    Better identification in highways during touring

    I am planning to go all LED on mine, so wanted to check if anyone has done anything similar.

    Any inputs would really be appreciated.

    i found the Brembo DISC ROTOR (solid disc) for the front and its awesome

    Now searching for the rear disc as the company is way too expensive
    There are some local Thai and Indonesian models that fit 300. But I am unsure about the quality. Best bet will be to claim insurance on the current one as it costs around 14k for the rear rotor. Or maybe, just maybe the prices are coming down with the new update that 300 is getting today. Lets wait.
    Or if someone is travelling from Indonesia(Its 250 there) or Thailand, ask them to get from there. Its like 3k only in Indonesia.


    Edit: Ninja300 launched today has rotor and caliper made by endurance, hence should not cost anything more than 2k-3k max. Go ahead and order.

    I am also using the ROLON chain Kit and the chain is reasonable at 10.5k against the 18-20k the company charges. the Rolon is also the same specs as OEM chain.

    BTW any idea for a reasonably priced rear disc rotor

    I got my front rotor from BREMBO (solid disc) for 7.5k but brembo doesnt seem to make the rear rotor

    Today I went to a Kawasaki showroom to check for ninja 650. The showroom was selling it's ninja 300 (test ride vehicle) ridden for 6500 KMS for 2.8 lacs. Is it worth buying?
    Bro, I also had similar offer on z250 earlier. This will be bad than a roughly used single owner bike. When the bike was offering me, the km was much lesser. Just imagine how much abused driving it would have gone through. Even though Kawasaki offer you support only buy if you know a professional mechanic and he certified it. Or please add some more money and buy a new or neatly maintained used one. Just remember, it's hell expensive to repair or replace any parts.

    Ok I will ask about this. Thanks
