Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

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.

Can someone tell me where can I get front suspension rubber boots online?

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

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.

I have adjusted it around 1inch & its smooth. Do clean the front sprocket area before lubricating.

Amazon has it. You can get cheaper ones from local automotive stores (Enfield specialists).

Did they connect the ecu to obd device and read the error log and did they fund any thing in that?


The oil warning light coming up could be due to a weak oil pump, which is not providing enough pressure.

Now for the rpm fluctuations , this is 99percent related to issue with fi system , mainly throttle body and a weak stepper motor. Stepper motor is a small dc motor placed before throttle body and it controls the final fuel injection cycle.
One owner from bareilly was also suffering from these fluctuations his rpm was dropping to 1k and bike was stalling and the local service center there was not able to find the solution, i also suggested him to ask them to check , clean or replace the throttle body and the stepper motor.
So the complied and did the same.
They cleaned the throttle body and also found the stepper to be weak and they replaced the same. Before doing all this they have tried replacing the evap system and main ecu hardware but that didn't work.
So final diagnosis was a weak stepper motor and carbon deposit in throttle body.
Now his bike is running fine with new stepper motor and new throttle body.

If the above doesn't work the they need to look into the fuel pump.

And i also recommend to get fresh oil and get the all the 3 spark plugs inspected and clean and adjust the gap.

And finish the process with reflashing the ecu with correct files clear the log.

About the engine oil sensor, the problem is rectified now. One of the KTM mechanic suggested to check the oil filters and stainer. Which we later found out to be damaged.
This happened due to the bad quality of the Bajaj's engine oil (which got changed at 9500kms and the current reading is 12500kms). Got the whole oil changed along with the filter and stainer. And for which they made me to pay for it, when i asked them that how can the engine oil be so thick even after 3000kms of running. For which Bajaj regional enginner told me that the bike is running in dirt area, due to which engine oil is filled with dust.
I cant understand when engine oil is packed then how can it be dirt filled. Secondly these bikes are made for Indian conditions as the country is in developing stage. Such a lame response from a Bajaj Sr. Techincal Guy.

Anyways thanks for the telling me that how I can get my rpm issue solved. I will surely talk that chap for the same regarding the bike rpm and stalling issue.

Got my Canyon Red Dominar in March 2018. Done with the first service, but of late I have noticed that the rear tire rim is quite greasy, only on the left hand side. Needless to say, it is attracting a lot of dirt. While cleaning the bike is not a hassle (do it twice a week), wanted to confirm if this is something I should be worried about?

I suspect it could be brake dust, but my ODO reads 950 now. 400 odd kilometers after the first service is pretty short for noticeable brake dust to accumulate, in my opinion. As recommended in the manual, I am using both the front and rear brakes together to slow down.

I want to be doubly sure that Riza gets all the respect, attention and diligence that she deserves from me!

I guess left side means drive chain side. May be the wheel rim is getting spattered with chain lube. What chain lube are you using?

Congratulations on getting the Dominar.
That greasy deposit on the rim is the chain lube which get gets sprayed on the rims while the motorcycle is in motion. Nothing to be worried, your motorcycle is doing fine, Enjoy Hyper Riding!

I have been replying on the Bajaj service for chain lube. Planning to get a can of OKS Chain Lub Spray, as recommended in the manual.

Get a motul chain lube can. That is sticky and it will not come out easily from chain. Your rims will be clean [emoji846]. Only issue is you will have to lube the chain in every 300-400 km. But performance wise motul is perfect.

Both oks and wonderfill are also good, motul attracts too much dirt.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Hi everyone, I'm Sandeep, I bought my Dominor on 12th of this month, took the bike for short rides done around 400km, I really love this bike. I feel more vibrations at and around 80 to 85 speeds, is that okay? Haven't opened the throttle and didn't cross 100kmph yet, eagerly waiting for that. Any advice for the new bike?

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

The service centre personnal told me that there are two drain blots that needs to be opened to drain the engine oil completely. To access one of the bolts you need to remove a section of the exhaust pipe?. It would be really helpful if someone could explain the correct procedure for engine oil change. Even if someone can just post a pic which shows the second drain bolt next to the engine cowl would suffice. Thank you.
