Hello guys
I want that adjustable clutch like in Duke 390. If I change it before free service will it void bike's warranty. If not where should I buy it and will SC guys help fixing it?

Hi. Changing the clutch lever to the new Duke 390 ones will not void warranty. It's a bolt on with no additional modifications required.

You can buy the same at any KTM SC spares section. It costs ₹338. SC guys might help you but it's very simple to do it. Lot of YouTube videos on the same. If you can DIY it would be helpful to you in learning.

Guys is there any way to remove this marks. It's a matt black Studds shifter Helmet. Thank you

If you met with a minor accident or if the helmet went through a drop, you need to replace the helmet right away.
This is an off topic discussion. Am sure you'll find an xbhp link to talk about this.

Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

After a lot of tussle between two bikes, Dominar and Fz25, I finally went ahead with Dominar 400 ABS plum red.
My only concerns with Dominar were the buzz from the tank and handle bar which i decided to overcome mentally and not bother me much while riding. I wanted the punch and a stable bike for weekend ride purpose which could double up as a office commute bike. Fz indeed a decent bike was 100cc upgrade from my current one and i felt de tuned acceleration with pillion.

I Bought it from Amba Bajaj, GB Palya, Bangalore and the sales execute Vijay Parwatikar was very helpful in the entire procedure. He got me cleared of all the doubts and clearly pointed out whatever the short comings the bike has rather than hiding them.
I brought it home yesterday evening (11th Nov).
Coming to the experience, I am upgrading from a 9 year old pulsar 150 and i feel it on the heavier side. It is flickable compared to P150 and i love its grunt (Hope that stays forever, Old pulsars were known to loose its grunt and exhaust note sounds way different than when it was new). The bike’s manufacturing date was 13th October.

I still need to learn a lot about the behaviour of my bike. When i selected the bike was 1.7 km on the odo and Vijay assured me that i will get the bike at around 3.5 kms on odo (moving it from godown to showroom) which is true. I got it at 3.7 kms. Till now i have ridden 3 kms (sigh). Hope to munch more miles on this one.

Picture time:

Both are different bajaj organises riders for every dominar owner under hyper ride banner where as DOC is a different group formed by owners bajaj has no hand in it. But i think DOC is now has its presence in many cities.

Everything is normal here the engine runs on a higher rpm with higher temperature so the boiling is normal and as you have mentioned that u did 260kms after service so the colour is also fine . Oil can change its colour after 100kms and black oil doesn't mean it is bad quality depends on the viscosity.

Fir bhi for peace of mind u can get it checked. IMO all is good here.

Engine oil doesn’t form bubbles unless something getting mixed. Also bike has run just 250 Kms. Better to get it checked for coolant getting mixed in oil.

Yes it does and by the colour of it i don't think there coolant mixing happening. It gets milky or coffee type when coolant is mixing.
I have seen this bubble thing in many bikes including ktms and res.
Had a chat with bajaj official area engineer on the this topic and colour getting dark. Got same reply from him too.

Fir bhi getting a professional second opinion won't hurt.
