About the Kawasaki Z300

Overview

The Kawasaki Z300 is a motorcycle from Kawasaki. It was launched in 2015 and has since been discontinued (production ended around 2018). Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. With a 296 cc engine it sits in the 250–450 cc class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 296 cc liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 39 HP at 11,000 rpm and 27 Nm of torque at 2,800 rpm. Peak torque arrives low in the rev range, at 2,800 rpm, which makes it relaxed to ride in traffic. Its bore is wider than its stroke (62.0 x 49.0 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 235 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is lively, with easy overtakes and relaxed highway speeds.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

Its frame is tube diamond, steel. Suspension is by 37 mm telescopic fork at the front and Bottom-link Uni-Trak, gas-charged shock, adjustable preload at the rear. Braking is by a 290 mm disc at the front and a 220 mm disc at the rear. It rides on 17-inch wheels — 110/70-17 at the front and 140/70-17 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 785 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 168 kg ready to ride. Ground clearance is 145 mm — adequate, though tall speed breakers need care. It is 2,015 mm long, with 1,405 mm between the axles. It carries 17 L of fuel.

Owning the Kawasaki Z300

    Mechiee's fixed doorstep service price for this model.

Maintaining the Kawasaki Z300

  • 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 Single disc, 290 mm, optional ABS and Single disc, 220 mm, optional ABS 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 110/70-17 / 140/70-17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Kawasaki Z300 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.
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.
