The Ninja 300 is now not only affordable to buy, but is pocket-friendly to maintain as well

  • Certain parts like the fairing, wheels and brakes see a ten-fold drop in price.
  • New prices are in the same ballpark as the KTM RC 390’s spare part costs.
  • The bike has been localised heavily, which explains the huge drop in the spare part prices.

In a bid to make the Ninja 300 more alluring, Kawasaki launched a heavily localised (and heavily stickered) Ninja 300 in July last year. And now, the benefits of localisation have trickled down to spare parts too. Anzen Automotive, Kawasaki’s Mumbai dealership has revealed the price list of some of the most common spare parts and here’s how the prices have changed:

The prices have been slashed because instead of importing them, the parts are now made in India. With all extra expenses such as import duties, handling charges and others effectively eliminated, the prices are now around the same ballpark as those of the KTM RC 390. For example, the front wheel assembly in the KTM costs around Rs 5600 while, for the Ninja, it is only around Rs 300 more. Even the Ninja’s clutch cable costs only Rs 80 more than the RC 390’s. The fairing (left side) is also just around Rs 1700 more expensive than the RC 390’s. And given how Bajaj has priced KTM parts very competitively, the new spare part prices for the Ninja are really commendable.

Given the significant drop in price, one would naturally suspect that the quality of parts might have worsened. However, being a Japanese brand that’s obsessed with precision, we hope Kawasaki has stringent quality standards in place for manufacturing these parts in India too. We’ve ridden the new localised motorcycle and found the quality to be on par with the earlier version.

Now with the spare part price drop, expect the sales volumes of the Ninja 300 to go up by quite a margin. The motorcycle costs Rs 2.98 lakh (ex-showroom) and competes with the KTM RC 390, Yamaha YZF-R3, Benelli 302R and the TVS Apache RR 310.
