Hmm, all good but you skipped the magnetic filter clean it next time, and that oil capacity thing is confusing mine went to top mark with 1.5ltrs only.
Keep in mind u need three filters oil filter which u replace, filter inside the drain bolt/strainer clean and the magnetic filter clean.

Sure, will do that, we need to remove the exhaust for it, right? Actually I ordered the exhaust gasket to do it, but the shipment is delayed!!
One step I missed is that I ran the engine for ~15 secs after the oil is drained, which pumped out ~50 ml oil.

No u only need to remove the rear cowl not the exhaust.
Here is the pic of it, it was from my last service done in January, and i remember they didn't touch the exhaust to access it and neither i was charged fro exhaust gasket.

Actually I tried to remove the bolt with out removing the exhaust, but the exhaust pipe is obstructing it.

Do you have any pic of the bolt removing, how deep is the bolt and the filter?


Attached is the drained oil in a 2L bottle

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

So I took the plunge and bought the Domi! I have ridden it close to 110 and there a lot of things I love about it. But I absolutely resent and hate the dealership. They have taken more than 4000 into unknowns and the insurance is screwed up. I so wish the experience was a little smooth and this would've actually been a great buy. But NO the dammed Indian sales people with the attitude of we don't care if you buy and post the payment I don't care I have your money what are you gonna do is absolutely crazy! Paying this amount I wish they treated half as good as the the lady who sells perfumes worth few bucks at the mall.

I just took delivery of the bike yesterday. Wanted to know if anyone felt a heavy buzz around the 4k rpm mark? It doesn't REV freely. Is it because it's still in the break in period?

During my first service, they poured in 1.5 litres of oil but I could not see the oil in the indicator glass itself. Observed for a day and next day went back to center again to top it up by another 100 ml or so. Later the level rose to mid level in the indicator.

Don't quote me on this, but I've seen positive reviews for Khivraj dealership in Thousand Lights. I personally got mine at Jai Bajaj, Sanatorium and was satisfactory. Althought it was just one visit of mine. I'll update my reviews post further services.

Also guys, Bajaj apparently has increased the warranty period of Domi to 5 years. But it involves only purchases/invoices made from 1st July 2018 to 31st July 2018. I got my bike on June and I am not eligible as there's a slight increase in price aswell itseems.

This is seriously so annoying on Bajaj's part. There's no option to buy the extended warranty for the current owners. So much for their flagship product.

Hello! I've got the squeaking nose coming in from the rear wheel. I do remember there was some one facing this issue on here, anyone pointers? How to get it rectified? It's super annoying!

Hello folks,

Today for the first time my Amun-Ra failed to start for me. I accidentally left the key in ignition on position for 5-10 mins as a result battery got drained.

In order to get her started, switched off ignition for 5 mins and then tried self start again and she immediately came back to life.

Moral of the story- never leave key in ignition on position for more than a minute or two. 🤪

What were the symptoms? Did the starter not crank? Was the rpm of starter motor too low to fire engine to life?

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Hi all!
I'm planning to buy safety gears but don't know anything about it. So asking for your suggestions.
Should I buy arm guards or is a riding jacket enough?
If a jacket is enough then what should be the price range?
If not then which arm guards are safe for Highway riding (high speed)?
I'm a student so can't afford costly products
Also it might not be the right thread to ask but I didn't get the correct platform to ask these questions so kindly pardon if I have asked in the wrong thread!
