Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Hi Guys,

Finally waiting for more than 5 month my Domi 400 came home. Thank you guys who are contributing in this forum, This forum is very useful to make your decision...should you buy a Dominar or not ?

Previously I was a R15 V2 owner, and lots of my friends are surprised why I chose Bajaj product after using Yamaha.

So,Why I chose Dominar 400 ?

1. My Main concern was budget, my budget was 2 Lacs, So Dominar fits my bill.
2. Big Bike Look
3. Power 35 PS which is more than enough for me to upgrade.
4. Maneuverability, despite being so heavy Dominar is very nimble in traffic.

I have Just completed 100 kms so I am not in position to tell you the mileage and issues.
Soon I will update once I will complete my first service.

Below is the delivery and PDI of my Dominar 400

Congrats for your new ride bro...

A general question considering that most of us here aren't professional riders - WHY would you buy the non-ABS model over the ABS one?Is it a general lack of awareness or a misheld belief that I am a good enough brake specialist that I wouldn't need ABS to help me?One of the main reason I chose the Apache as my first bike was only down to the ABS and in my 3 years there have been 2 incidents where I am sure that if not for the ABS I would have either ended up in a deep ditch or been sandwiched between 2 cars. ABS is absolutely vital. Please don't buy the non-ABS version only because its a few thousands cheaper.

Agree with you. Again, it depends on the person's choice and the budget (To be precise). Also, if one opts for Non-ABS, which would not require on the place or the roads where he rides.
As you rightly mentioned, even I feel the need of ABS in today's city conditions.

Abs is a boon (that too in an affordable price) for bikers in Indian conditions, upon that bike being a 400cc (not so small). It definitely needs whether you are a professional or a beginner. Cause we can't be always 100% sure during some unexpected situations but the ABS will play it's roll always.

And finally it all boils down to everyone's personal choices.....[emoji16] [emoji16] [emoji16] .

And in Indian conditions nobody can predict what may happen within seconds.

Has anyone fixed a hazard light adaptor on Dominar ? A friend of mine wants to plonk the one on KTM duke to the Dominar. Does dominar have an alarm switch ? Asking this since I do not have physical access to the bike currently. Here is the product link to give you all an idea. Thanks for any help.

This is a expensive option , try novatronics or local market for better options as here in delhi many owners are using this hazzard light thing ranging from 250 to 1500bucks , with multiple nodes like 12 or more.

If u are in delhi , u can try karol bagh as someone recently got it from Golden bikes in karol bagh, ot u can try online or any of ur nearby local market . The real tginGis that you are never going to use more than 3 or 4 patterns so why go for a 50 patterns one.
Explore your local market and bargain. Online novatronics is showing 1.8k but in market u can bargain .
