Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

So it looks like we don't have any XBHPian from Pune.
Sad that such a good bike has no takers in Pune.

There are few but they are not active now days.

Boys,




I have removed the read wheel and inspected all the parts as my rear wheel is wobbling.
I found cracks in wheel in the areas as seen in the picture. Is it an issue?

Could be possible but nothing is clear in the pics looks like greasy lines. Get it inspected at the service center. Did u vhevk the chain adjustment marking on both sides of swing arm.

Any owners of Dominar from Pune? I'd want to know how's the after sales service.
The showroom I went to had lethargic staff and disinterested ones. The service bay is rubbish and looks more like a public kitchen.

Which one did you go to ? I go to Sai Service at Shivaji Nagar. They are alright.

I went to Shreeguru in Wagholi.
Don't want to again there.

Thanks bhai.
I'm at supreme level of skepticism about Bajaj servicing in Pune and hence I tend to think about the fallback option FZ25 instead of Dominar. I did take the test ride of Dominar and loved it. Just don't want the service center to screw up the beautiful bike.

From what I can see, I didn't observe any crack on the wheel spindle. All I see are mild glaze/lube marks which is normal. A cracked spindle would mean a different story, though I'd suggest you start off with the wheel bearings. If everything is within spec, I'd strongly recommend to check how well the axle bolts are slackened. Keep your observations posted.

Cheers!

I stay at Kharadi so Shreeguru was nearest dealship but I still went to Sai at Shivaji Nagar to buy Dominar as their Service Centre seems better than others. They also own KTM service station at Vagholi. I take my Duke there and they are very professional as well.

Absolutely. No offence to owners. They have spoiled the Dominar with worst color options. Man, that red colour looks hideous and it takes away the big bike look. Further, golden colour alloys add salt to the wound and it looks like an after market job.

Haha! I own a Red, brother. The reason I didn't get the black is because it looked so much like a Pulsar 200 NS with that black.

I really wish they still sold the white with black alloys though. That is one classy looking bike.

No such issues, also seen many taller guys riding it comfortably.

Does any one in this forum uses dominar as a daily commuter. If so, in how kms coolant is required to be topped up. My dominar coolant goes down below the minimum mark on every 500 kms. No leakage or coolant mixes with engine oil found. SVC guy thoroughly checked and no issues found and told me that coolant level is falling due to excessive heat it evaporates and it will become normal in winter. My question is that the reason given me by SVC guy is true or something else. Does anyone experienced same issue if so, what will be solution. Thanks in advance.

It is not like this i know many guys who do daily commute around 80 or 90kms one side. U need to get the cooling system checked up properly try a different svc.
Chek all seals, heat seal , water pump etc.
If nothing works drain the coolant and then flush the cooling system with distilled water couple of times then fill new coolant and see it it helps.

If it is the case as advised by the service centre guy, then I think Bajaj is taking us back to Ambassador/Premier Padmini days, wherein we need to fill water in the radiator every morning before starting the drive. The reality is, however big the engine maybe, coolant level should not drop even a bit at least for 4000 to 5000 km. Just drop a complaint to Bajaj and then see these lazy service centre people in action.
