Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

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

It would be over 10k not under.

Lot better than psr, for the vibrations the first lot owners means 2017 made bike are getting free vibration reducing kit for free here just some 80 bucks as labour. I will go for service next week so will update few have already got it done. This kit has some pads etc and is already there in 2018 models. Cost is 700 something but free for 2017.
For Apollo it is way better.

I guess it's normal. Even my bike has the sound due to the same reason. Haven't faced any problem so far.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Omg, the most unexpected thing happened today. Ijs f you are reading need your advice.
I usually turn on the bike first while on site stand before I saddle.
Today the bike started in neutral but immediately jerked into first gear. And fell.OMG.
I had noticed many times that I would park in neutral but later it would be in first gear. I thought nothing of it. Maybe some kid stepped on the gear.
But it's going into gear due to the weight of the lever.
The bike does not start in gear. I checked after the fall.
In this wierd case bike went into gear right after the starter kicked in.
I like that the gets are shifting smoothly now. Is this a sign that I need to replace gear s?

I also start in neutral on side stand. It mever happened to me. I mean gear is not that heavy to shift in 1st. Must be some malfunction.

Is happened a couple of times in traffic for me. The bike would jerk right after starting First time on the stand.
My bike is one of the first.When I say weight, I mean the gear is slipping into first. So yes, possivle wear and tear.i don't mean factory design issues.
Question is, has someone faced the problem and replaced the gears.

Do u mean that it shifts into the gear on its on, this is not normal than do get it checked if the lever is damaged then get it replaced and do get the clutch adjustment done.
And if needed the gear shaft needs to be replaced i guess.

This is not a problem with the gears, but a faulty neutral indicator switch. It has happened to me occasionally, so it is always a good idea to first put the bike in neutral, move it back and forth before starting it.

I urge all of you to first clear the simpler things, and later fall into the paranoia category.

Agree , but a faulty neutral indicator switch should not be giving the jerk that is caused by gear engagement.
Only time it can give jerk is when at the time of shifting into the neutral the light glows but the gear is still engaged and u let go the clutch. So if u leave the bike as it is means gear not properly disengaged and you start it , it should start jerk and stop.
