Re: Ninja 300: Ninjette Calling

Got my shipment of clutch levers through ebay from Singapore. Great quality and less than half the cost at which they are available here in India. Also no customs duty. The best part was that it took me less than 10 minutes to change both the levers.

This is Mitra right if I am not wrong !! congrats mate on your booking...

Not sure if any1 here has done it personally I stick to manual guide..

Correct me if I am wrong but Moto-man run-in requires you to change Oil and Oil filter every 240 odd kms till your cross 1000 kms mark which means total 4 Oil and Oil filter change, considering the fact each service with Oil & Filter change costs around 3400 INR in Mumbai we are talking about 13K + expense just to cover your run-in

Again I am no expert in this matter but this is what my understanding is so don't curse me

Mitra bugger, I think we met very recently and there you did not open your mouth even once about this latest plan. Your Doomed next time we meet if what you write here is true

Regarding Moto-man run in method, please go through this link - Break In Secrets--How To Break In New Motorcycle and Car Engines For More Power
It's a very debatable topic and if you are not sure how to go about it, it's better to follow normal run in prescribed in your manual. It's better to take it easy rather than damaging the piston rings of a brand new engine.

Best thing would be to follow 4K for initial 100-150 kms and then probably give short bursts till 5-6K and reduce speed gradually and repeat occasionally after all run in is all about sealing the piston ring properly.

P.S. Mitra Bhau don't run in the Kwacker as you used to ride your duke. That's not Moto-man

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

What I did with Duke was Maniac-man method !
The only problem I have with sticking to the manual-method of braking-in, is that it's too boring & I'm sure I wont follow it

So is it bad to follow the moto-man method ?

**whymail** · 06-13-2013, 06:20 PM

Re: Ninja 300: Ninjette Calling

@burninrubbr: going @ 4k & speeds in sub-100 is boring? seriously? lol i like that!

i dont mind being the 'run-in rider' for ur ride... *ahem... cough* ... the way i normally ride, is run-in period method personified itself

After waiting peacefully for complete 2 months, I finally lay hands on the Ninja! 10 June being my mum's birthday I was accompanied to the showroom by my best old buddies...10 of them

Needless to say they were as excited as I was since this is the first sports bike in the group

Had a small cake cutting ceremony, called panditji, performed the pooja, took blessings from mum and dad, posed with the motorcycle,friends clicked hell lot of pics and there I was...ready to ride my dream! Swung my leg over and made myself familiar with the motorcycle. Moment I turned the key ON the lovely display welcomed me with its beautiful gleaming lights...disengaged the killswitch and I brought her to LIFE! Also brining smile to everybody's faces...mine being the widest

This motorcycle sounds absolutely amazing! The exhaust has this bass effect which grows with the revs and grows quite dramatically...it is nothing but music to my ears - Bliss

Engaged the supersmooth clutch, shifted to first and I was rolling...I was FINALLY riding my dream, a dream which I saw some years ago. It was a special feeling, a very distinct one which I cannot express in words! I briefly looked up and thanked my God and my parents...

Some pics of my Serenity (I've named my Ninja - Serenity

), hope you like them:

Sent from my HTC One X using xBhp Connect mobile app

she looks gorgeous buddy.....cant wait to see her in flesh!!

Congrats, good to see more 300's coming into the forum. If you may I would like suggest you that during the waiting period of the bike you can pick up the essentials like a tank pad, paddock stand, helmet,guards etc as after the purchase of the bike the euphoria will take some time settling. So u can start the run up for the delivery so as to be well prepared on the D day.

Re: Ninja 300: Ninjette Calling

According to the manual 1st service should be done 800kms/2months whichever is earlier.
I'll complete 800kms in next 5-6 days, so 1st service will be done very soon

Few ques. :
Any specific thing that i should keep in my mind while going for 1st service ?
Also one of my friend told me to use Motul engine oil!!, Errm.. I'm new to this... someone explain please

I'm not able to find any cover for N300 in local market, can i buy it online? if yes kindly provide link :P

Congrats on you purchase firstly. About the engine oil Motul is perfect as that is what the probiking guys use (at least that is what I was told by the manager when I picked up my bike at Chandigarh) secondly the cover for the 300 is not available locally though its available on ebay 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300 EX300 EX 300 New Deluxe Cover | eBay
Also the manual says servicing at 1000 kms or 60 days whichever is earlier and not 800 kms.

Get them to check the oil seals and for any leakages, top up the coolant and lube the chain. I had to ASK the service guys for coolant and chain lube before they did it.

The N300 cover should be available at probiking showroom for Rs 1024 (thats what I paid on April 23 before LBT at Kanjurmarg PBK). But honestly I wouldn't recommend it cause a) it's white, and b) the front part which covers 3/4th of the tire has already started peeling/tearing off.
Try the bullet cover. Its cheaper, bigger and seems better.

Thanks for the input , in fact i was about to place an order for the cover. Never imagined that they would compromise on the quality of the cover specially when they are up to the mark with the quality of the bike.
