Re: Bad vibrationsat 4000-4500 RPM

Got my Dominar 400 ABS on 26th of Jan. Loved everything in the bike except the bad vibrations that kick in after 4000 RPM. Can't really complain much as the bike is absolute value for money, but don't understand why couldn't they take care of those vibrations that so many people have complained about in such a refined bike. You think they can fix this in the first service at 500 kms ?

After 300 KMs I felt less vibration and upshift got smoother (downshifts were always smoother). But I felt brakes, especially rear lacks bite.
Now first service is done and odo reads 850KMs. Vibrations are there starting from 75kmph/4000 rpm in 6th gear but once you pass 85kmph+ gets reduced to minor level. 110kmph is I have maxed and it feels you are gliding in that speed.

I found one thing strange when in around 60-70kmph in 6th gear if you down throttle suddenly and then you give throttle it take noticeable micro seconds to feel the push from engine, something like fuel is missing all of a sudden. I don't know if this is same for other dominars.

Thanks for your reply. I will Report back once I have my 1st servicing done! hoping for a smoother ride.
Did you tell the company about the vibrations when checking-in for the service? Got any explanation?

Guys, A lil off-topic fun question. Which helmet will go well with White Dominor. Please share your models.

As of now my mind is set on MT matrix.
But still I am looking around :-)

I use an MT Blade Alpha, which goes pretty well. I feel any helmet with a white main and a colored lining should be good.


In addition, it goes well with my jacket too.

Hello there mate. Though the MT matrix is a wonderful helmet, which caught my attention the first time I saw it, I would suggest you go for a full faced helmet, unless you have any specific problems.!

The MT matrix is a full faced one.

You are right MT matrix is full face helmet, MT atom is modular helmet.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

I thought of going for this one as suggested by a friend.
He tells that the wind noise is present but well controlled than the MT Revenge.
This particular model is having a sober look and is 90% black.

IMO this will compliment midnight blue dominar.

Any other thoughts are welcome :-).

For touring MT matrix is good, if you can raise your budget then look for Bell helmets, HJC CL17/TR10.

I think you should look for how a helmet fits rather than colour of helmet.

How dominar compares with Mojo? Anybody with experience with both bikes?
