Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

I wouldn't totally agree to it. People like RE for some reason thy buy it , Most prefer design of the bike to be on top priority and other feel for performance or few for top speed . Like wise those who prefer RE go for RE.

And for your info now even they are improving on the technology , Now every RE bike comes with ABS, BS4 standards . Not sure just by design if its old why people are saying its Old era bikes. It all depends on the design of the bike. Its a commuter bike its designed to run over long distance in comfort .

I'm not supporting any bike here , even i own Dominar not RE but i dont hate RE or any bikes, Surely wont criticize any bikes for sure , Don't spread negatives rather accept that fact. Maybe once bajaj new version can overtake RE in sales count..

And please stop generalizing stuff like " INDIAN CROWD" n shit , are you from anywhere outside INDIA ??

I haven't generalized RE crowd yet.

How bad is it to rev the engine upto 6 to 6.5k rpm during idle. Engine temperature was hot. I didn't do it on cold engine.

PS. I was trying to find a source of rattling noise.

Not bad if done on warm or hot engine.

Guys I'm having issues starting my 4 months old dominar. 2 days ago I did a small trip of 110 km. Whole night the bike was outside in the fog. I came home next day morning. It was okay the day before yesterday also. Then yesterday I didn't touch the bike as I was away from home. Now the bike isn't starting up. I checked the coolant level. It is in between min and max. There is some oil leak in the engine. What should I do?

The turning radius is best among all the other bajaj's

?? No it is not Ijs bhai. 100 cc bikes turn far easier than the Dominar. I have a CT 100. There is no comparison whatsoever.

Could be a battery related issue as this looks like seepage not a leak. Is there any warning light on the secondary console like low oil or battery or malfunction sensor?
Try jump starting the bike from a car or a different bike how is the sound when u crank the engine , is it cranking or just tak tak.

That's the starter relay clicking sound I am guessing, usually when battery voltage goes low and relay is not able to turn the starter motor.
Remove the battery, get it charged and check again.

Check if something else is draining the battery if you have fitted any fog lights, horns etc etc.

I took my bike to the svc in a mini truck. They found out the issue. Mice chewed some wires under the petrol tank. I have to change the whole wiring. It will cost around 10k

Do you own comprehensive coverage? Confirm with your insurance company to verify that rodent damage is covered, as it may not be in every location or circumstance.
