Hi All
I've just taken possession of a 2017 Kawa J300. I'm about to try to figure how to install heated grips for the cold months. I'm enjoying the J300 so far. Good to be here!

Hello and welcome.
Glad the bike's proving enjoyable.

Good choice of machine! You have the excellent Kymco power unit combined ( hopefully!) with some spares backup from Kawasaki dealers and importers if needed.

Hello yersel' What pairt of the centre of the universe do you bide in?

Hi and welcome

Hi, I've been on the look-out for a decent J300 for ages, but none have come up near me that have been a) well looked after or b) in my price range. But I managed to get hold of its cousin, the Kymco Xciting, which seems to have been a good choice so far. I hope you enjoy the J300

The reason they have a Kymco engine is simply because they are the Kymco Downtown 300i with Kawasaki badges. Nothing wrong with that. Kymcos are fine machines.
