Finally ordered and Installed Mirror Risers from Aliexpress. Must have accessory for tall riders.

Have you checked KTM Duke's 2018 model mirror set?
It's ₹241 per piece and it's much taller and wider than the stock ones.
Today only I checked with ktm SVC but they dint had stock mirrors so I have to wait till I get one pair.

How to topup coolant on dominar by myself

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Hi guys,

Do you hear any whining or humming noise while deceleration

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

My D400 coolant level becomes low i.e. below the lower mark in coolant tank when the bike is cold and tends to increase i.e. between upper level and lower level when after riding 10 to 15 kms. Is it normal???

Yup, the coolant expands when heats up so the level goes up. It’s common thing nothing to worry, but when it’s cold make sure that it doesn’t go below minimum level. So top up when it’s cold so that the coolant level is just below maximum.

There could be a slight noise (like in the overrun) due to slipper clutch. But if it increases take it to ASC..

Coolant expands when heated up, that's the reason that little tank is present, to compensate for the expansion. Secondly, when the bike is cold, the fluid should be between higher and lower and not below the lower marking, it means your coolant level is a wee bit low on the coolant reservoir. Top it up with a little coolant, so that it is between high and low when the engine is cold. Once the engine heats up, there will be mild expansion, and you will see rise in coolant level which is normal.

May your Dominar run 1,00,000 kms before even needing a coolant change or spark plug change [emoji28][emoji28]
On other note, RE riders do miss out on a lot of things which D400 provides. D400 should help them save ₹₹ on maintenance and fuel too.

Thanks for the reply. Actually yesterday i have adjusted the chain slackness. Slightly tightened the chain and measured the slackness exactly as 20 mm (not more than 20 mm). As per manual slackness should be in the range of 20-30 mm. After tightening the chain i have noticed :

1. Throttle response has improved dramatically and so pick up.
2. Now chain does not the hit the rubber cladding on the swing arm. If i press the chain with my finger it goes up to that cladding. During riding there is no rattling noise from the chain now. Noise due to chain hitting the rubber cladding has completely gone.
3. Gear shifts have improved, specially while downshifting now it needs a gentle touch on the gear lever and it downshifts with a smooth click.
4. Overall smoothness has improved.

But, now i can hear some whining noise specially while decelerating. I guess i have tightened the chain too much. It is in the minimum of the recommended range.

What do you say?

Thanks in advance.

Nope I haven't checked. I am 6'2", So I don't think they will make a difference. I sat on New Duke 390 and felt pretty cramped in 5 minutes. Will go again and check mirrors as you say.
