About the Kawasaki Versys-X 300

Overview

The Kawasaki Versys-X 300 is a motorcycle from Kawasaki. It is currently on sale. With a 296 cc engine it sits in the 250–450 cc class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 296 cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that makes 38.8 bhp at 11,500 rpm and 26 Nm of torque at 10,000 rpm. Peak torque comes high up, at 10,000 rpm, so it rewards revving. Its bore is wider than its stroke (62 mm x 49 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 225 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is lively, with easy overtakes and relaxed highway speeds. It has electric start.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox with a 1-down, 5-up shift pattern, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. Its slipper clutch lightens the lever and stops the rear wheel hopping when you downshift hard.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

Its frame is backbone, High-Tensile steel. Suspension is by telescopic forks at the front and Bottom-link Uni-Trak, gas-charged shock, and spring preload adjustability at the rear. Braking is by a 290 mm disc at the front and a 220 mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels — 100/90 - 19 at the front and 130/80 - 17 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 815 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 175 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. Ground clearance is 180 mm — enough for most speed breakers. It is 2,170 mm long, with 1,450 mm between the axles. It carries 17 L of fuel.

Features and equipment

Equipment includes a lcd semi-digital display instrument console, a halogen headlamp, distance-to-empty readout, gear position indicator, real-time mileage indicator, service due indicator, engine temperature indicator, low fuel indicator and low oil indicator. Safety equipment includes engine kill switch, side-stand engine cut-off, side-stand warning, hazard light switch and malfunction indicator.

Maintaining the Kawasaki Versys-X 300

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Disc, 290 mm, 2 piston caliper and Disc, 220 mm, 2 piston caliper brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Coolant & cooling system

    A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 100/90 - 19 / 130/80 - 17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    The battery is listed as 12V 8Ah (10HR). Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Kawasaki Versys-X 300 specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

ABS
Anti-lock braking system. It stops a wheel locking up during hard braking so the rider can keep steering. A single-channel system works on one wheel, usually the front; a dual-channel system works on both.
Liquid cooling
Coolant circulates through the engine and a radiator, keeping temperatures steadier than air alone, especially in traffic or under load.
Assist and slipper clutch
The assist part makes the clutch lever lighter. The slipper part eases the rear wheel's tendency to hop when you shift down hard.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
