It is breather tube that connects to the engine and yes it is meant to hang like that.

That's your excess fuel flow pipe. If someday you remove your tank you will be able to see it.





I have a better picture but cant find it will share as soon as I get it

I had dismantlled entire tank at home to clean the air-filter and saw these outlets



Our Air filter does a good job but, It's better to replace it after every 5000kms.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

@Chetak.Jr hope got ur answer regarding the clutch thing by last few post. When i got delivery of my bike there was toomuch thid in each gear and the lever was very tight with hardly any play, so i got it adjusted the next day and it was all smooth. Always remember that u need 2 to 3 mm of play in clutch for the smooth operation. U can use ur bike key to measure the play here at svc they use it as mentioned by zma bhai in his Google doc.
@zma0101 soni bhai nice to see u spreading gyan , keep it up.

GEAR SHIFT AND LEVER PLAY

Crucial for a smooth transmission is the clutch lever play.

CASE 1:- If the lever is too tight clutch plates will not have space to breathe and will over a period of time will heat up very fast and with the wear n tear and the friction, these plates will get destroyed resulting in lack of pickup and drop in mileage.

CASE 2:- If the play is too much or in other words the lever is free or too light then you will find it difficult to shift gears.

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO - THESOLUTION:- Look at your dominar key, look at it vertically. You see the thickness of the key, yes that is your ideal clutch play.


HAINN!! SERIOUSLY, USE A KEY FOR CLUTCH PLAY

1)Take your key and press the gear lever
2)Place the key in the gap
3)Check the play here, if you find the clutch wire has more strength and is tight loosen it by a touch
4)Or else if you think the clutch wire loose by the time it touches the key then tighten it

Entire idea of this exercise is to keep that bare minimum play or free space so that the clutch plates breathe as well as clutch engages the best way when you press the lever.

Bajaj has a tool through which they check the lever play and is of the same thickness as that of our key.


NOTE:- Speaking of clutch, the day you have to replace your clutch wire you will have to wait a bit longer at your service center because to access the clutch wire you will have to remove the tank and then you will be able to replace the faulty clutch wire. Also keep a spare clutch wire handy and learn how to dismantle the tank and other components, it's pretty easy, I have done it twice already to clean my air filter and filter cabinet. God forbid during a road trip you face a situation of broken clutch wire , you should be able to do it yourself

I read through the document regarding the clutch play and tightening of the bolts to reduce vibrations but as dumb as I could be.. I still didn't understand. Can any experienced user give us a pictorial demo. [emoji27] [emoji27]
