Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

As mod suggested, i wiped the oil leak before I started to office..When i reached office, there was some oil seepage on the left side of the engine..

Planning to get the oil leak fixed first tomorrow, observe for 2 - 3 days and then get the 1st servicing done.. If this prolongs, then no point in oil change..

BTW, service center (Khivraj Bajaj, Tiruvallur) told me that they charge Rs 50 for water wash during 1st service.. Is this common with Bajaj service center?..

I have never paid for a water wash during free service for any of my motorcycles that i owned so far..

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Think, am able to locate the leak issue..There is white hose connecting the engine just above the spark plug (left side of the bike).. Guess, it is defective, causing the leakage..Could someone help to confirm if it is coolant pipe (or) engine oil pipe and it is defective on my bike..

It is dripping over the spark plug and the crankcase..

You sure it is coolant only , as too me looks like oil is mixed. Don't ride it too much like this to be on safe side.
And this white one is the 3rd spark plug.
And one more thing i was never charged for water wash at the 3 services i had thus far here in Delhi.

Am not very sure buddy.. I just observed oil /coolant over the white hose.. Sure.. Am leaving this bike with service center tomorrow..

And this white one is the 3rd spark plug.

Ohh k.. But would the white hose usually be like this on other bikes too..I mean with a hole on one end..

[MENTION=13486]elangoas[/MENTION] that hole should not be there it is damaged due to heat or something else, on my bike this plug cap is black but i have seen white and grey cap on other bikes. This plug is on top of the head cover so could be a leak from head gasket or a over active oil pump.
Get is checked and resolved soon.

NO! Guys white one is not center plug, When i changed mine to iridium first me too thought its a center plug but its not . Center plug is above the white one. Am not sure what its is but 100% sure its not plug

Good info i also thought this to be the center plug, but in my bike it is black cap and yes it does have a hole. Could u share the location of the center plug means it is accessible by removing the tank cover.
Here is the pic from my bike.

Ok great.. Then it has to be coolant (or) oil pipe.. I think, the nut there needs to be tightened to stop the leakage..

Ijs You are correct as soon as we remove the tank, There will be rubber sheet am not sure of technical name. The center plug will be in top left side above the white or black rubber

By the way i have checked all the inner side of domi, Guys you won't believe bajaj has increased the quality i was so happy.
