The 300 ST is powered by a 294cc, 2-Stroke, liquid-cooled, single cylinder engine. With a cylinder bore of 3.11 in and stroke of 2.36 in, its motor is oversquare, meaning that the cylinder bore (width) is greater than the stroke (length). This makes the engine more powerful than one of similar displacement with a smaller bore. For fuel delivery, this engine is carbureted which makes the engine easier to maintain but less fuel efficient. Electronic ignition makes starting your bike a breeze and ensures a consistent throttle response.
