Kawasaki Ninja 300 and Ninja 300 ABS OEM Service Manual 2013 (PN 99924-1460-01)

This 617-page PDF is Kawasaki's factory Motorcycle Service Manual for the 2013 Ninja 300 and Ninja 300 ABS, covering model applications EX300AD and EX300BD. The publication is identified as Part No. 99924-1460-01, First Edition (3), dated June 29, 2012. Its 17 chapters are built around the model's 296 cc liquid-cooled DOHC twin-cylinder engine and the related chassis and electrical systems. Kawasaki wrote the manual primarily for trained mechanics in a properly equipped shop; owners who already understand basic mechanics, tool use, and workshop procedures can also use it for basic maintenance and repair.

• DFI and ECU diagnosis: Traces the complete fuel-injection system through meter-based self-diagnosis, service-code tables, sensor and actuator circuit tests, ECU connector terminals, fuel-pressure and flow checks, injector tests, and throttle-body synchronization.
• Engine top-end repair: Covers compression testing, camshaft and cam-chain service, cylinder-head removal and installation, valve-clearance adjustment, valve-guide and seat service, plus cylinder, piston, and ring inspection.
• Assist and Slipper clutch and driveline: Explains the clutch's assist and back-torque-limiting mechanisms. The procedures cover clutch removal, plate and hub inspection, engine removal, crankcase splitting, crankshaft and connecting-rod work, balancer and starter-clutch service, transmission-shaft disassembly and assembly, and shift-drum and fork inspection.
• Cooling and lubrication systems: Details cooling-system pressure testing and flushing, water-pump and mechanical-seal replacement, radiator and thermostat checks, oil-pan and screen service, relief-valve inspection, oil-pump work, and oil-pressure testing.
• Standard and ABS chassis service: Includes wheel and hub-bearing work, tire removal and balancing, drive-chain replacement, caliper and master-cylinder overhaul, brake bleeding, ABS fault isolation and hydraulic-unit replacement, front-fork overhaul, swingarm service, and steering-stem bearing work.
• Electrical and routing documentation: Supplies four vehicle wiring diagrams split by EX300A/EX300B and GPS-unit configuration, along with charging, ignition, starter, meter, switch, relay, sensor, lighting, and variant-specific cable, wire, brake-pipe, and hose routing.

Model and Configuration Coverage

The model-application page lists two beginning frame-number formats for each model. EX300AD begins at JKAEX8A1□DDA00001 or JKAEX300AADA00001; EX300BD begins at JKAEX8B1□DDA00001 or JKAEX300ABDA00001, with the square representing the digit that varies from one motorcycle to another.

Regional hardware is treated separately where it affects repair or diagnosis. The ECU identification table distinguishes WVTA (FULL AB-2)/IN, US/CA/CO, AU, BR, and CAL applications. DFI coverage also identifies oxygen-sensor-equipped versions and the CAL-only purge-valve/canister system. Stored DFI code history is handled through Kawasaki Diagnostic System KDS Ver.3, while the meter-unit procedure displays current service codes.

Technical Scope for the Workshop

Named visual references include the DFI System Wiring Diagram, Terminal Numbers of ECU Connectors view, Coolant Flow Chart, Engine Oil Flow Chart, and ABS Diagnosis Flow Chart. Exploded views at the front of most chapters identify fasteners and call out where torque, oil, grease, sealant, or locking agent is required during assembly.

The factory procedures specify Kawasaki service equipment rather than assuming generic substitutes. Representative examples are the Hand Tester 57001-1394, Needle Adapter Set 57001-1457, Fuel Pressure Gauge Adapter 57001-1593, Clutch Holder 57001-1243, and Fork Oil Level Gauge 57001-1290.

Critical Specifications, Repair Limits, and Safety

Reference data includes the periodic maintenance chart, component-specific torque and locking-agent tables, approved fluids and capacities, and adjustment and clearance data. Separate tables provide inspection standards, wear limits, bearing-insert selection, and electrical voltage, resistance, and peak-voltage criteria. The ABS section reaches individual solenoid-valve, relay, motor, wheel-sensor, sensor-wiring, supply-voltage, and internal-unit fault codes. The factory-set ABS hydraulic unit is covered for diagnosis, removal, installation, and replacement, but not internal disassembly or repair.

Loosening or tightening only one or two clutch stopper-plate bolts at once can warp the plate under spring force. Partly loosening and then retightening the non-return camshaft-chain tensioner can damage both the tensioner and chain. Major engine, wheel, suspension, and brake work assumes secure motorcycle support, the specified measuring equipment, and a final brake-function and leak check before return to service. This PDF contains the service manual only; the separate Parts Catalog referenced by Kawasaki is not included.
