    Yeah. The brake fluids too play in increasing performance. Also D400 have steel braided lines I think. Rear should be rubber. That’ll help a lot.

    Well that's what I wanted to hear. The stock levers on Dominar are literally the same cheap ones used in discovers and pulsars, I hate the feel every time I reach for the levers, and this is just within 45 days of buying the Dominar!

    Can I buy the levers easily from KTM workshop? If not, can I urge the Bajaj showroom manager to procure one for me, KTM showroom is merged with the bajaj one in my city and is handled by the same manager. He's not my friend or anything, just a friendly manager who tries to be care and co-operate with the premium (dominar) customers.
    Visit the KTM workshop and buy the levers. I got my clutch lever in the same way, and got it fitted from ASC itself. Incase you're getting only the clutch lever, I would recommend KTM 390 lever. If you want to change the brake lever as well, I'd suggest looking for aftermarket levers, since the 390 brake lever costs around 1800. No matter how good the lever, it isn't worth 1800. The clutch lever should cost around 350.
