Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

^^^ I have got my Leo Vince LVI full exhaust. I have not installed it yet. Waiting for my AreaP micro fuel controller and BMC air filter.

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

I think the reason for the high brake pad wear and Engine stalling is this... People tend to just go full clutch and brakes instead of dropping gears along with the reducing speed... My brake pads hardly ever used to wear out on the 220... Let's see what they are like with this bike... And seems the slipper clutch on my bike works over time...

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

Thanks... I actually use right gear at right engine speed but it was just an accidental finding while sudden braking.

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

How much did it cost buddy? and from where did you get it? PRS?

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

Well, I took the most expensive version, the carbon fiber one. Its expensive and with the crazy way the rupee is depreciating it going to get even more so. I got it from Bachoo Motors. Contact Zulfi for the same. Actually, a slip on will cost you about 55% to 60% less vis-a-vis a full exhaust. If you are not looking for increased performance then its better to go for a slip on. A full exhaust will entail a fueling change and you will need to additionally invest in a fueling unit.

The slip on is available off the shelf, while the full exhaust was not available. I had to place a special order with Zulfi for the same.

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

I had seen Ninja 300 in the showroom a couple of times.. No TD though..
Only saw one on road today.. Man, you all guys are so lucky to own one.. N300 is simple awesome..

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

Hey Guys

This weekend I'm planning to go for Bangalore to kannur trip, total km updown will be 700 approx. Is there any way I can make ninja 300 seat little more comfortable for long drives.
Right now I need some temporary solution for this trip to avoid backpain and numb ass.

Need some urgent solution

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

Are you using the exhaust with the baffle on or have you removed it?

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

I will be using the exhaust with the DB insert. Interestingly, in Europe, a 'performance' version of the 300 is officially sold by Kawasaki, which comes installed with a Leo Vince LVI Carbon slip on as street legal.

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive


Hello Sir! Long time, hope you remember me. I have a D200 with a remapped ECU. I saw a Leo Vince full exhaust system for Duke on Motozone site. Will installing the exhaust require fueling change on my bike as well as you mentioned? How do I do it?

I am sorry if I sound too naive.

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

Hi Chimanyakar, of course, I remember you. You were one of the first ones to post a comment on my thread detailing the mods to my R16 . First off, let me point out; no question is naive or stupid. All questions are welcome and I am more than glad to help if possible. Your question is bit of out of topic question on this thread, but anyway the answer is applicable to Ninja 300 also.

The answer to your query is; anytime that you change the complete exhaust system including the headers, you are changing the flow of exhaust gases. Essentially, you are de-catting the exhaust and depending upon what the exhaust is trying to achieve, the size and length of the exhaust varies considerably. A exhaust system can be designed to offer better drive in the lower and mid range, or it can be designed to offer max power at upper range of the engine revs. These are just 2 of the possible scenarios.

Now, coming to the Leo Vince full exhaust systems. As I mentioned earlier, all exhaust systems are not equal. Even in Leo Vince, different models of exhaust are designed with different agendas in mind. For example, take a look at the dyno charts of the full exhaust system Corsa and LVI for Ninja 300. As you will note the Corsa exhaust actually shows a drop in power below 5,000 rpm before it starts making very healthy power and torque right up to 9,000 rpm where it dips and picks up again at 10,000 rpm. The LVI on the other hand starts making more power than stock right from 3,000 rpm to 9,000 rpm, where it dips quite sharply and pick up again only after 10,500 rpm.

So to answer your question, the full exhaust system that you have identified for your Duke will require a fueling change. To make these fueling changes you have 2 choices, the first one being the ECU remap that is currently being discussed in the KTM 200 Duke thread. The other is to use a new aftermarket ECU like the one that Race Dynamics has designed. I don't know if ECU remapping guys have tested and developed a map for a full exhaust replacement. I do know that Race Dynamics has a dyno and your could be tuned for your configuration if you talk to them.

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

I have heard of people use gel pads to increase the comfort, maybe someone who has used these can help you better.
Here is DIY vid of it

But it will take quite some time I guess. If you are looking for a quick fix, you need to look at other options.

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

Thanks for the post. I am done with Ghatkopar SVC and will never vouch for them. Will be going to the workshop at either Phoenix Mills or New Bombay from now on.
After my last post I had revisited the Ghatkopar SVC and thankfully they had the mirror replacement. Spoke to Mr. Praveen on the engine over-heating light and after checking the bike he said that there is nothing wrong with it and that the light might be coming on due to the electrical being messed up due to the pressure wash THEY did (the bike was pressure washed from the outside only). He said that the engine was not really heating up and that it was just the light malfunctioning which would be looked into after he spoke with his superiors from Bajaj. Also, the coolant level was low so it was topped up.
I, like a fool, believed this so called "supervisor", took my bike out in the evening and got stuck in traffic. The overheating light came on as usual and although I wished to stop at the side, I couldn't due to the heavy traffic. The engine started making noises as if something was boiling inside!!! I decided to throw my dignity to the gutter, switched off my bike in the middle of the road and started directing traffic away from my bike after pushing her to the side. I cancelled all my plans and went back home riding her at 4.5 to 5 K rpms with 3 breaks in the 7 km stretch just to ensure the engine doesn't overheat.
I have called the BAL engineer to meet me on Saturday at the Ghatkopar SVC. Till then I am deciding on the juiciest words I can use when I meet Mr. Praveen.

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

^^^ that's terrible. How does he say that it's nothing. The facts that the light is coming on and coolant was low itself show that the engine is heating up abnormally.

Just one pointer; since the engine has over heated so badly, it's advisable to change the oil. Most people will say there is no need, but consider the fact that the oil has been operating at the higher end of spectrum and will have deteriorated much faster than in normal use. Therefore it's prudent to change the oil.
