Kawasaki Ninja 300 competes with the likes of BMW G310R, TVS Apache RR310 and KTM RC390.
Recently, Japanese bikemaker, Kawasaki have recalled a total of 1,358 units of the locally made Ninja 300 over faulty brake issue. The bikes manufactured between August 16, 2018, to March 12, 2019, will be inspected.
Kawasaki dealers are in the process of contacting the owners of Ninja 300 and resolving the issue as soon as possible. The master cylinder will be changed to solve the brake failure of the two-wheeler at no cost.
Kawasaki says that there is an issue with the front brake master cylinder made by Endurance, which is why the Ninja 300 has been recalled. In 2018, Kawasaki decided to localise the brakes, wheels, tyres and plastic to reduce the production cost.
