Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

I am in 2k km now. The engine oil level after riding itself is slightly below the mark. I asked SC guys to top up the oil, but they are saying it is enough to topup at 5k km. But manual says different that it should be between those two marks. I am thinking of buying the oil and top up myself. Is it ok or should I wait for 2nd service? Any thoughts?

How did u checked cold level or hot level.
If the hot level is below the lower mark then do the topup. If it is above the lower mark then u can still wait.

Lever giving jhatka means u need play adjustment. Engine giving jhtka is engine breaking and is normal it also happens sometimes when u let go the throttle without downshifting.

And if mean to say that gear lever giving jhatka then yes it does give small kickback feel , like it is holding back before coming to normal and this can be resolved by getting the lever bolt tightened.
If i may ask are in bagga whatsapp grp.

Okay. Yes, It gives a kickback kind of feeling just for a micro-second the moment I downshift mostly in 35-50 kmph range and then goes off. I did show the clutch adjustment to Bagga link and to a local mechanic who says the adjustment is good.

Is there any Bagga link whatsapp group? I am not a part of that group. Would love to be part of the same.

During cold level I can't see the oil. But hot level it's in the lower mark not above or below. If I have to buy the oil, how much does it cost bro?

Always warm the engine then wait for 2 3 minutes before checking oil and straight the bike then wait for 1 minute or so for the oil to settle down.
How far are u from next service, i advice to change the oil at second service too as first 2 or 3 oil changes are good for engine.

For topup at home u can buy oil from bajaj the dtsi 10000 10w50 cost 1010 for 1.5ltr pack.

I have ridden upto 2000km only and it's been 2 months since delivery.
My doubt is if I buy the engine oil, I won't use it fully for sure. So during 2nd service can I give this oil or should I have to pay them. Because during 1st service I paid for engine oil.

Keep the remaining oil with u for future top ups like after 2.5k to 3k kms of when needed.
And most importantly if possible always insist on getting the oil change in front of u at the service. As in some cases it has come to light that svc has used 20w50 semi synthetic oil in place of 10w50 full synthetic and this is the prime reason for the level getting low after 2000kms as in this engine full synthetic is recommended garde and semi synthetic burns at a fastwr rate.

Thanks bro. For 2nd service I decided to be there the whole time. SC guys always find excuse for not doing proper work. Their marketing for bikes are good but their service and maintanence should have to improve a lot.

Hi everyone, my question might sound silly but I am little confused, I own a dominar and my service center is at Ulhasnagar, one day while I was there I heard the manager telling to one person that " SIR AAPKO SERVICING KARNA HAI TOH KISI 1 JAGAH SE HE SAARE SERVICING KARANA PADEGA, AAP PEHLA SERVICING JIS CENTER SE KARAOGE UDHAR HE SAARE SERVICING KARO, MERE PASS LAOGE TOH WARRANTY VOID HOGI, AUR MAIN RESPONSIBLE NAHI RAHEGA FIR "

Is it true that we can't change service center for our free servicing ?

Ok. I did my 1st service from Kanchan Bajaj Ulhasnagar Service Centre. I was pretty much satisfied with my service. Let me talk with the service centre guy in other way. Let's see what he has to say 😉
