Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Thanks for the quick reply mate. Already checked for plastics, none present. But I'm a bit curious as to why is that smell present. Any ideas?

It could the burning of the polishes, coatings, welded joints, glue etc. that are present on components that heat up on running.

Hi guys. My domi has been run for less than 100 kms. Everytime I take it for a small spin, there is a very clear burning smell which comes. Is this normal?

Guys, anyone noticed that the prices are no longer visible on the Domi website. They are not showing the Matt Black color too. Anyone here can help me with the prices, in Pune?

Bro can u post some more pics from the side view of the bike

Taking off three screws and removing the tail piece is 2 mins work. I'm sure you could do so and check for yourself , If you don't like it replace the tail piece. It's very very easy.

I think you would be safe with both dealership. Dealership usually disconnect the odo as there bikes are unregistered and they intend to sell the same piece.
To be on safer side pick a different color and give a complete chk to tyres and hand grips that should give u and idea wether the bike is fresh or not.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Ask both the dealership whether you can choose your bike before finalising on one.
There are ways where you can still detect if the bike has been driven with odo disconnected.
Go to their safe house and:
Check for tyres, a fresh tyre and a tyre driven for 2-3 kms will definitely look different if checked under adequate sun light.
Check for foot pegs. A driven bike will have some form of dirt/patch of shoe sole accumulated over it.

Once you are satisfied, note its VIN number and ask them to block the vehicle for you. Have your finance ready and pay immediately and leave.

Mine is first lot bike and there is no issue with it. The glorified vibrations issue is common with all big capacity single cylinder bikes. The missing issue which few were facing is resolved with new ecu update. And as per my knowledge new new dominar is coming in December they might add some colours.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Hello everyone! I'm planning to book a D400 soon and the new matte black colour option has caught my fancy.

But I have a query about the new colour available: wouldn't this paint be hard to protect against nicks/minor scratches?

I'm aware that the RE TB has the same paint option and no protective is recommended on the same.

Just thought I'd pop this question on the forum to know if there are any work arounds to the upkeep of the paint surface, especially around the tank top.

Thanks in advance!

Ohh, Matt Black is difficult to maintain. You have to be very careful while cleaning. Scratches or cracks will expose the metal/Fibre and that might not look same.
3M cover should give some protection but then that might not give the Matt finish look after covering.
