Example complaints
Engine: “This incident has been happening since the first day I have owned the Kawasaki ninja 300. I would slow down to a stop and the engine would stall. I would then put it back into neutral and restart the motorcycle. It would happen a few times until the motor gets warm, then it stops stalling. It happened to me at least 3-7 times when riding it today. This happened to me about 4 times now.”
NHTSA complaint #10522328, filed 2013-06, 430 milesFuel system: “After parking my motorcycle in the sun for about 2 hours I returned and started it up. Everything appeared normal. I accelerated to about 15 MPH and then as I prepared to come to a stop I started braking and pulled in the clutch. The engine RPM's dropped lower than the idle speed and the engine stalled as the bike was still moving. I coasted to a stop. I placed the bike in neutral and restarted the motor. It started up fine and I continued on to an intersection where I attempted to make a u-turn. …”
NHTSA complaint #10524022, filed 2013-07, 1,000 milesTransmission and drivetrain: “My 2013 Kawasaki ninja 300 is stalling randomly from just pulling in the clutch at speed. It extremly dangerous for a motorcycle as it can cause loss of control. My dealer says its a known issue but Kawasaki has not fixed this problem yet.”
NHTSA complaint #10505548, filed 2013-04, 1,000 milesEngine cooling: “I was going through a slight curve, not a big one just a normal curve going about 20 miles per hour when I tried to slow down the bike sort of stalled so I went straight into the curb into where I hit a tree. There are many people that saw e incident and found it very strange as well as I did. I have enough experience into which I know it wasn't my fault I lost control of the bike. Going 20 miles per hour with nothing that could have caused this pretty strange.”
