Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Hey thanks for the reply, bad experience as in with the charger or it affects the bike?

Yes u can safely do it, but i recommend resonate or go on charger. Few friends have had bad experience with bolt.

Hi , has anyone used bolt charger without cutting wires, can we just give direct connection to battery without hampering ECU?

Last day while turning on ignition of my bike dominar ug
Some unusual numbers were displayed on the screen
Both the trip meter got reseted

I havent noticed any more problems till now

Is this incident needed to be taken in concern?

Check all the fuses and tighten the battery connections and if it repeats then get it checked out.

Hello all,
I was getting my dominar ready for trip, so was connecting bolt charger to battery,
I connected the -ve first and then +ive, the one with red cover. However had sparks at +ive terminal, I had not noticed that the ignition was on. However I turned it off and connected the +ive first and then -ive and everything went well.
After I turned on the ignition the display showed some errors , I could not really read them as it was quite fast and the trip meter and clock had reset.

I this a normal behaviour that the reset happened.

Charger works fine, bike rides fine. But just asking for confirmation.

Always remove negative first then the positive and while fitting positive first then the negative to avoid sparks.

If you are not into offroading, then you can try pirelli diable rosso 2 or apollo alpha h1. If you want dual purpose tyres, then try timsun ts697 or ts822.

Any recommendations for tyres, the stock ones are horrible I feel like I'm about to slip and fall through even the lightest amount of dust/sand on the streets. Love the pirelli scorpion rally str but they are kind of expensive iv done 9.5k on stock and still looks good is it worth a upgrade now or should I wait up, will the pirellis make a substantial difference in stability and dynamics ? Please advice [emoji120]

Started using the 390 Duke's adjustable brake lever. The lever action is much more precise. Also I have stripped the paint on both the brake and clutch levers to give it a nice aluminium coloured look.

Wow! Pics please

Engine Replacement !!

Thanks for sharing. Good job by Bajaj and SVC.
Really must be a manufacturing defect on the UG model. Definitely the old engine will be scrutinized thoroughly by Bajaj to find the root cause.
Hope this is not wide spread to more bikes from that batch and limited to this one incident.

P.S. Good luck to the guy who now needs to start running behind RTO people to get the engine number changed in the RC card and in Insurance, that will be another uphill task!

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

My entire front exhaust looks like that, looks like rust but I don't think it is.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Thank you very much for your help, I will surely do that. [emoji4]

Malfunction Indicator Lamp. The orange engine light on your console. I'd recommend you go through the owners manual for more tips, it really helps to get to know the bike better.

Nothing to worry. As long as that alphanumeric code doesn't repeat itself and you don't see the MIL lit upon every start you're fine.



It's normal. Nothing to worry per se, when the exhaust bend pipe is subjected to high temperatures eventually they change color. The same goes for matte, blacked or chrome exhausts, they all change color.
