Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

1. I have removed saree guard from my bike is it good?, However bike looks more sexy...

2. 5500+ on odo, I feel that there is no bite left in brake bike hardly stops and I have to apply full pressure on brake to make bike stop, the brake pads looks ok to me when viewed from side. whenever applying rear brake I feel that there is some spring kind of tension while applying brake and it too doesn't has any bite..
what can be the issue

Get the break pads cleaned up and make a habit to clean the rotor or disk on regular basis with a moist cloth or you can also use acetone to clean the rotor.

Thanks! I took test rides in 3 showrooms, handling was miles better that RE, I couldn't feel the weight (maybe i was riding comparatively heavier bike).

Wasn't able to test it in b2b traffic yet, that's the only thing I wanted to check.

You felt riding tough in traffic because of handlebars of Thunderbird , even I had avenger cruise and it was pain in traffic due to its mini ape handlebar ,Now I have classic 350 and it is very easy to ride on traffic , same maybe for dominar . Test ride dominar for 3 to 5 kms in traffic .


Edit : just read you booked it , congrats and enjoy your ride

You can give it for 2nd free servicing ..but I'll suggest you to gain the maximum out of free servicing like

Clean air filter
Oil topup takes 150₹
Check battery
Update ecu
Clean and lube chain
Clean front chain sprocket
Add anything if I miss itout[emoji3]

Can you specify the quantity of oil filled in. Why top-up is required in just 3800 KM?
Isn't it too early for top-up

Not sure about quantity of oil.. also it's not mandatory to topup unless you feel domi is low on it.. but then to some service centre guys insist .. might be business trick 😉

This seems to be a only valid reason. Isn't there as dipstick or glass window to check oil level? if the oil level is fine then we can simply say no to top-ups.

Dude there is a glass window .. but you can deny anything during service if YOU feel it's ok not to do so.. like coolant topup or anything else.

Is there an alternate brake pad for Dominar?

You can use KTM break pads

I was planning for the same, but not sure if it will fit

One should be aware of these tricks used by ASS (Car or Bike).
Engine oil top up.
coolant top up
Brake cleaning
brake oil changing
chain cleaning and oiling.
and consumables

Hi all

Bought the matte black domi two days back and oh boy i am so loving it to the core... Its so unlike any other bajaj product...

Two questions though
The showroom guys said always keep 3 litres of petrol in ur bike want to know how much does a single bar on the fuel guage in this machine signify

Secondly what is the significance of the regtangular metal piece on the rare tyre rim

The two bar of indicator means you have more than 2 litres

The metal piece in tyre is for wheel balancing like the one in car wheels.

Seems like Dominars are on a roll, indeed.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Hi everyone, I have booked the Red color of dominar 400 so I have some questions since this is my first bike:

1. They are giving wax coating so I want to know which coating is best for the bike between wax, teflon and ceramic? I read that ceramic is costly but it lasts much longer so if I go with ceramic can anyone recommend good place in bangalore for ceramic coating?

2.They are also giving puncture liquid for the tyres should I fill that liquid?

3. What are things I need to take care of at regular intervals like chain lubrication etc?
