    I hope this is just a hoax. Even tier 1 cities which have kawa showrooms are scarce on parts. Anyone from Bangalore or delhi confirm the status of Kawasaki in tier 1 cities ?

    you could probably use the r3 oil filter.
    Oil Filter - Yamaha R3 Forum
    looks like it would fit the n300. dig a little further online, and reviews/cross references say it should work just fine.

    re-use the same old filter if you are not comfortable going with an alternative.

    Another suggestion is to look for a matching size Purolator oil filter from a dealer. The oil filter is not something extra ordinary and is actually a industry standard size oil filter.

    Btw anyone has any idea on by when would Kawasaki resume their service support in Mumbai?

    In Kawasaki website, there is some information on their new showroom at Hubtown, Andheri.

    They'll deny. This is just a hoax and I'd request you/others to avoid spreading false information.

    Kawasaki is (re)starting as a separate individual entity in India. It's not leaving one of the hottest markets for automobiles in South Asia.

    Finally had a R3 for whole day for myself. Rode it all day. Those extra 20ccs are felt right away in the low and mid range. Bike is more flickable than than the N300. Although the quality is no less in its own sense but the premium feel of the N300 wasn't there. It does not give you the big bike feel. May be it's a quality of its own.

    Yes it would. But considering the N300 sells for around US$ 5500 abroad. Does one honestly think this will happen?

    When I bought my bike around 3 years ago at approximately 3.85 Lac, I was surprised to see the same bike costing more at present times.

    There are a couple of rumours that Kawasaki would start building there bikes here in India just like KTM. Fingers crossed for that cause then Ninjas would be around 2.4L only and Er6n around 4.5L

    Must find out about Kawasaki building their own bikes from some biker buddies who work at Bajaj though it seems unlikely.
