Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

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.

Please share your feedback.

That AS visor looks aggressive. I have installed carbon racing visor and number plate extender. But from the inside doesn't it look but odd. Those bolts n all??

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

Agreed, keeping the rear RIM golden after chain lube is a challenge by itself.. But then again, it stands out coz of the golden RIMs + my Canyon Red and I LOVE IT...!

P.S. I am crazy, keeping it golden is almost every weekend task of mine :P

Handlebar seems to be raised in 2019 version.
Did anyone else noticed that or its just my confused eyes ?

True, but the wind blast is much much less and the visor looks great when viewed from the front. Hit 145 Km/hr, no wind blast just felt few on my hands.

Golden rims are very difficult to maintain especially the rear one, as there is a lot of chain oil falling on it.

Hi All,

I am getting 'kat' like sound from the rear area while applying the rear brake, the sound is not coming often but sometime only. when i am at low speed(10-15kmph) or when I am accelerating from zero to about 10-15 kmph and after applying brakes i am getting sound. Please let me know why it is happening is there any big issue or is it normal.


Please let me know the best Bajaj service center for DOMINAR in Hyderabad or is there any mechanic shop best for dominar servicing?

It must be an ABS doing it's job by not letting the wheel lock. You must be getting a pulse on your rear brake pedal when the sounds come.
It might happen only when you brake and rear tyre doesn't get enough grip and start locking up, but ABS take care of it by not letting it locked. That's when that sounds come. Perfectly normal.

It could be a misaligned rear brake pad or uneven worn out brake pad that might be moving in the caliper.
How many kms on the odo and do you see uneven tyre wear too?

That kat kat ia probably the abs pulsations do u also feel it in the break paddle like something thing hitting it, if this is the case than it is normal abs working happens in initial speed as rear breaks are more sensitive.
If not the above then get the disk assembly checked mainly the rotor bolts and caliper.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Hello xbhpians,

My dominar has done around 4k kms. Recently since last two weeks I have faced engine shutting off randomly itself while driving.
Both the time the clutch was fully engaged and while slow down.
First instance occured when I was doing around 90 kmph and tried to slow down the bike to stop at signal with clutch fully engaged and while braking engine shuts off itself. Any idea on this issue, possible causes.
Is this issue related to ECU, throttle body sensor?
I have also noted that side stand indicator teltale lights is also off during this instance. May be I might have missed during engine shut off time.
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion but i am sure the sound is not causing due to ABS in action, as I am not hitting brake too hard that it will lead to skidding of tyre

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

I can hear the same 'kat' sound, but only if I go really hard on the brakes. Otherwise it's all fine.

If you hear "khat" near the front end when going over speed breakers or braking, your T stem/coneset might be loose or we have a coneset bearing that's gone for a toss. Start off by tightening the fork nut by a quarter of a turn, a two min job at the SVC or your local mech, it should solve the issue. If it repeats again even after the tightening procedure, it's better to replace the coneset bearing/balls. Keep your observations posted.

Actually it is not the front end. The sound comes from the rear brake pedal. I suppose it is the ABS kicking in.
