Kawasaki Ninja 300 ABS Recalled In India For Faulty Front Brakes

India Kawasaki Motor has issued a major recall for 1,358 units of Ninja 300 ABS models which are reported to have an issue with the master cylinder for the front brake. The master cylinder has been manufactured by a company called Endurance. The affected models were manufactured between August 2018 and March 2019. The company says that the primary lip seal on the front brake cylinder is not hard enough and it could peel off when the rider applies the front brake. This could result in reduced effectiveness of the front brake and total loss of brakes as well, which could lead to the crash as well.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
