    Our beloved Dominar 2019 model reaching showrooms.. Looks like a nice silvery white shade. Or maybe its just the lighting in the room.

      White colour is back and Golden rims are gone - the best changes to Dominar.
      It's just a matter of time they reveal the specs and price. It would be a massive disappointment if the specs don't change.

        Bike looks good, and the black rims are a relief. I have a hard time keeping my golden rims clean

          Looks more like metallic silver/grey to me, like the one found on Pulsar but looks bit lighter shade compared to the Pulsar color,
          Something like the color on this

          I could be wrong, time to visit the doctor to get my color blindness tested if I'm wrong.

            Hehehe. It has a lot many closely related colours. But we all will agree that this is miles better than the previous colour scheme. Not too flashy nor too subdued.
            If it has RS200 black+grey colour, it will look mean and nice.

                Ep 90 will work all year long, i use ep 140 in summer as it has higher kinenametic viscosity and it can sustain more heat. In very cold temp 140 would sometimes won't flow out of the kuppi. I have personally used both 90 and 140 all year long. Pick ep if 140 is hard to find.

                      Yes read that too, but he just stated what he knew about the previous motor. Lets see what comes out of the bag after the actual launch.

                        Exhaust sounds sweet, still no update if DOHC and slipper clutch will make it or not. Rest all other specs have been come to known of already.

                        ABS not working? Was it switched off or something, maybe now Dominar gets switchable ABS like the D390/RC390.

                          Possible possible, and if not DOHC then there much be better engine mounts or counter balancer shaft to reduce the vibes.
                          Even if the power is not increased, the reduced engine viberation would attract more buyers. IMO power is already sufficient enough for this bike.

                            I vote for asynchronous spec figures say like 37 BHP and 35.7 NM [emoji16]
                            Dominar is a blessing to us tiny humans with pockets of size 1 [emoji28]

                              As the oil warms up, it will become thinner. That is when it may start seeping out if there is any seepage.
                              Ride it in your regular form and keep an eye on the oil reading from the watch-glass.
                              Hello guys.

                              Attaching the picture after 100 kms. Out of which 40 kms were ridden on NH for specific reason. To let the oil become the as warm as possible and thin. Everything seems fine as of now. I will keep checking and until then will use motul chain spray for chain lube. I've a strong feeling it's chain lube oil. I might use excessive amount. But still i want to be sure before the 3rd free service. I am at 8200 kms on odo now.

                              I tried wiping that whole area with my finger. And nothing except dirt. Any more suggestions or method to check this?

                              My theory on this is if it was okay for all this kilometers it should be fine now too. Or maybe the seepage is too less. That this was all the amount it seeped through 8k kms. I was my bike myself so don't clean engine area. I just clean painted area and chassis, swingarm and underseat. Click image for larger version

                                Hi,


                                Installed Pulsar AS visor on top of the stock visor. Also used carbon racing number plate extension to increase the angle. Had to use in opposite direction.


                                Also changed the number plate position to down below. Feels like the number plate was supposed to be there from benging.


                                Looks fresh and taller from the front end.
