Some minor modifications on D400

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpw2...ature=youtu.be

Is it the eclipse which is fitted on the handlebar ends? .please could u tell me how did u fitted on the handle. I almost ruined my bikes handlebar inorder to fit it.
I found a inner shaft inside the handlebar which caused me the problem for the wires to pass.

What is this goooo or humming sound which comes when engine is at idle and disappear when clutch is pulled in . I was ask this from many guys and also read this on this thread , so today noticed it in the Morning silence it is present in my bike too.
I can relate this to fuel pump or gear box as usually the humming which goes off with pulling or pressing the clutch comes from the gear box and also in fi bike there is normal fuel pump sound. This sound can also be felt on move in some bikes.
Some one on whatsapp group also asked this.
Do see if it is present in ur bike or not guys.
And also what could be the reason my guess is fuel pump or slipper clutch.

It might be slipper clutch matching the revs.

Does anybody have fuel gauge problem?. The fuel gauge does not show the amount of petrol remaining while the engine is running. I have to switch off and turn it on again to check the fuel. Is this common in all Dominars?.

Yesterday went for a ~400KM trip Tivandrum-Kochi.

Return trip was at night 9:00-1:00,
It was raining heavily, Visibility was not good, I think the halogen warm light is better than cool LED as it have better contrast to easily find potholes.
Planning to put some warm aux lamps

Also discovered I too have the Fuel gauge problem, I think its the ECU, nothing with the sensor in the tank.
As its a common problem, Where can we report it?

For those who are suffering from throttle lag or fule supply on off feel while riding. Best solution is ECU Reset.
Read below i have posted it in whatsapp group, now posting it here.

ECU REST.
I have not done this on my bike as i have no such throttle lag issue. This process does not harm anything but still do it on ur own risk do not held me responsible. I have done this on cbr and zma learned it for a yamaha mech.
It would not restore the old map but it erase the ecu data thus eliminate any data ambiguity causing jerks and lags.
1 turn off the ignition.

2 open rider seat u need size 8 spanner.

3 disconnect battery both terminals. And leave it as it is for 15 to 20 mins, 30 if u can wait more.

4 reconnect the battery terminals after 20 mins. And wait for 5 to 10 mins.

5 switch on the ignition. Ur led display would go blank for few secs and time would reset so reset time, also trip meter can go zero.

6 after switching ignition on wait for 5 mins and strat the bike and leave it to idle for 10 to 15mins do not revv. Turn off the ignition after 10 mins of idle

7 wait for 5 mins and start the bike idel for 1 min now ur set to ride. Have asmall run around the block, Be gradual with throttle use the whole rev range. Effects would show after few kms fo riding just be gradual and use all gears.

By resting we erase the data that is 0 and 1s of ecu. And now it would write new 0 and 1s and adapt to ur style.

The above process would hopefully resolve the on off feel and throttle lag during riding. Also bit improvement in sluggishness. If this did not work get ur ecu re flashed from company. And get the throttle body cleaned.
One person here in delhi already did this, followed the above steps and his bike is much smoother without the lag.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Got my bike for almost a month now. Not happy with the vibration and comfort levels. Feels brutal and rough edeged, more like a bigger pulsar. Touring with pillion on board is not comfortable as like Cbr s or karizma s. It's a good package though but refinement is still not up to the mark. Head light is good but color temperature is the problem. Breaks are ok, nothing to complain about. Shock absorber s are not matched for comfort. Belly pan catalytic converter rubs and hits deeply when fully loaded with pillion. Engine changes its charecter when used for all day touring, sound changes, yet to see about engine oil eat up in long run. Runs cool though even on full load. Horns are weak but head light is OK but the charging system is awesome and one can easily tap 100 plus watt load from it. It will be super cheap to maintain as the parts are easy to get and shared with other Bajaj line up. Apache mirrors are a good upgrade for touring.

Not to offend anybody but just my opinion. Had better expectations from rajiv ji.

You are correct, its having lot of good points and about same number of negatives.
I was thinking about the time Bajaj released pulsar 180 back in 2009, the parts like chain, sprockets were not capable to with stand its power.
Loosing Sproket tooth was a common issue then. Bajaj is still in the same stage, noting improved.

Its a point where we should doubt the "value for money".

Last day, I was following a friend of mine who is also on dominar. The chain noise is so loud and same as any other pulsar.


Yesterday bought a pair of aux lamps from amazone, Waiting for its arrival



Please help me on wiring this.

I am planning to fit it on the leg guards, and use a separate switch for it.

Where can I get the positive terminal connection?

Two ways you can tap it. One from inside the headlamp casing or another from under the seat. Opening headlamp casing is difficult.
Under the seat tap the break light point and give it to relay. And take the positive from Battery with fuse and give to to relay and from there to your LED light.

How much watt is your LED light?

Ok. If you can open the headlamp casing then you can do the wiring neatly.

Pull two wires inside the black sleeve on the left side of the handle. This sleeve has cable running from headlight casing to your left hand switches. Out of the two wire give one to brown connector (it's a big connector compared to all other connectors. The cables are think. Tap to the brown wire. Another wire can be given directly to your LED light.
