Here are the pice

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

both lever cost was around 2168,00. One issue in brake lever its very much adjacent to right, Hence moved to left of handlebar. If your using default side mirror. Then its going to be problem but am using handlebar end mirror so no issues enjoying it

You can use, Motul 7100 or 3100 both are very suitable for the Dominar, the latter being slightly inexpensive. 10w50 is a better choice than 20w50.

From day one my domianr used to vibrate a lot, after first service the vibrations reduced by a big margin but it's acting funny. At certain times the bike vibrates a lot and at certain other times it doesn't. Looks like I'll get the oil changed once more and try and see if it reduces. It's absurd my colleagues same dominar feels so much more smoother probbaly vibrates half as much as mine. The vibes are felt at 4-5-5k rpm the most.

One of my friends said it's a fault in the ecu and the fueling might be too lean. But I doubt that this happens in a fi bike.

One thing I've noticed is that the bike runs a lot smoother when it's cold and tends to vibrate a lot after it's warmed up completely.

It's done 2500 on the odometer now. Not sure what the problem could be. Did anyone else face such an issue? I'm worried.

Bajaj oil?
Throw that oil in the deep pits of hell.
Patanjali Oil is probably better than Bajaj oil.
I'd request the big admin brothers to put in their thoughts on vibes.
It's still a new-ish bike and still probably settling down. You cab get the FI unit checked at a SVC.

How can u tell that oil is shit, did u made that. Unlike previous generation bajaj oils this one is made by total, which is as good as motul if not better, and i have been using this oil only since day one have ridden bikes filled with motul and didn't find any significant difference.

Yes there are better oils available but still Total is not inferior to them.

I bet if motul start making motorcycle s then it will sell like hot cakes in India.🤣🤣🤣

I've used it and Motul too, now running Shell.
So probably I have a fair idea about it.
Ohhh and if I was into oil manufacturing, I'd be super crazy to call my own oil as crap.
That's like saying Maruti admitting that they make unsafe tin cars.

4.5 to 5k rpm zone is the vibration zone i have vibes in that zone too.
If u suffering jerks and vibes in hot engine then do get the evap system checked, and open and close the tank before and after a hot ride and try to park in shade.
To reduce the vibrations get the engine mounting bolts tightened up there are there on the rhs.
Also get the condition of airfilter checked a choked af can also make a bike jerky
Shifts gears at 4k rpm or above from second onwards it will also help and try not to ride in higher gear at lower rpm.

Shell is another good brand but it comes in 15w50 it will work , ducati service center uses shell oil. Other good brands like mobile1, gulf, liquy moli and castrol power 1 racing are all worth trying.
I had good experience with castrol and mobil 1 better then motul.

Hey guys.
Bought a Red Dominar in Bangalore recently. Already noticed micro-scratches on the Petrol Tank on the sides. I need to get a Teflon coating done asap to prevent these scratches again.
Does anyone have suggestions as to where and what service to get?

I'd suggest hunt a 3M outlet instead of Teflon coating.
3M has some good options although they have now stopped taking bikes for care and treatment, at least in Pune.
I was planning to get their transparent paint protection film and apply it myself on my humble P220.

I heard a PPF is pretty expensive. Was wondering if it would be worth it. Especially since a PPF is a proper fingerprint magnet.
Wouldn't a Teflon coating be better?

My D400 coolant level becomes low every 500 km. Is it normal???

To get a proper teflon coating is difficult. It is not a very simple and quick job if done right.
The alternate I see is the car window film which should be a better alternative at cheaper price. You can try and see if they have anything in clear film.

It doesn't look like a normal process for coolant to be gulped down so easily and so much. If you're checking coolant level after a hot ride, I'm sure it is in the radiator, working the magic.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

I checked coolant level when it is cold especially in morning time
