Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Dear Christopher, I honestly believe the speed is limited due to the presence of an ECU that controls everything, including the maximum speed achieved. The same can be noticed on a Duke 200, 250, 390, etc.

The reason a 200NS or 200AS would still pull away to a much higher speed as compared to the Duke 200 even though its wayyy less powerful than a Duke 200, is because of the lack of an ECU that limits the maximum speed.

ECUs are found on all FI bikes as the amount of fuel and air mixtures have to be controlled with extreme precision and that can only be achieved automatically through a computer and not manually as is the case in carburetor based engines such as the NS or AS that do not have ECUs or FI systems, yet!

Regarding the CBR though, its definitely a much smoother bike to ride as compared to our Domis, I mean none of us can argue about the engine refinement levels of a Honda, you gotta give it to the Japs for that. Also the maximum speed allowed on a CBR has been programmed to be higher as compared to the Dominar. I also believe they haven't put a speed restriction on it as compared to our Dominars and KTMs.

I hope this helps in clearing your doubts. ☺️

The CBR is restricted on the 6th gear, doesn't go past 9000,9500 rpm, cannot comment on domi cause I've never ridden it but it definitely has a better low end torque which is non existent on the CBR, domi is any day more vfm and more out right power, but both are good bikes, comes down to personal preferences. Atm domi is the better option atm, Honda dont even have a 200-500cc bike in the market and show a sense of ignorance here.

How much oil is filled in the first service? Manual says 1.5 litre while my service charged for only 1 litre

The rationale as I understand it is that It takes 1.5 litres to fill a bone dry engine. The oil change still has 300 ml in the system and stick to engine walls so it takes less. Approx 1200 ml.
If you got charged for 1000 only, it's possible that they might not have waited long enough and refitted plug before it drained completely.

When I checked the oil level with the bike upright, no oil is visible in the window. So I feel they didn't fill it as stated in the manual. Servicing 1.5 lit.

The oil is not visible when the engine is cold. Run the engine for 5 min and check the oil level

Sry, was not aware of 1.8.Oil level is checked cold. Hold the bike vertical for 2 min. Let it settle, then check the level.
Oil expands once engine is running so it should be checked cold.
I noticed that if cold level is @min , then after 30 min run, the oil level is halfway between min and max.

1.8 ltrs is the capacity mentioned for engine rebuild and piston works, and for regular service the oil should be 1.5ltrs the bajaj dsti 10000 comes in a 1.5ltr pack .
Do recheck with ur svc and get the oil drained and refilled with total 1.5ltrs.

Also avoid filling up premium petrol at small, unpopular bunks. They could contain sediments from the tank due to fuel sitting for long periods.

Just a report that bike on speed97 runs smooth as Japanese bikes and throttle response become crisp and accelaration gets amazing.. i loved it and highly recommend to do it for once atleast.

Never felt this way. Could only be a placebo effect[emoji12] [emoji12] .
