Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Hey, i did get them replaced all free of cost btw, only had to pay for the engine oil replacement which is fine. the bike no longer makes such sounds .
Turns out the entire manufacturing batch had this gear problem. april 2018 batch to be specific. my friend from Pune had the same issue which belonged to the same batch.

If true, its quite an oversight. Why dont bajaj take responsibility and do a recall?

Though having engine issue in entire batch makes me shudder. But we do have likes of royal enfield with which they are trying to compete so no surprise.

There is always a drain hole for this very reason in every exhaust. Peek at the bottom side of the muffler just where it starts

Looks like the tyre marking, if there is no visible crack in the sidewall the ignore it and if i still have doubt the visit ur nearest mrf office.

Yes Its completely normal. You can cut it out as well its just extra piece of rubber from Tyre manufacturing

OK so it seems I've nothing to worry about ☺

I use the car jack and clean lube the chain. Though take the help of my watchman as well.

I used a empty 4ltr dabba of bereger paint to lift the rear and front both. You can use similar thing or the car scissor jack.

Thanks for the suggestions, will definitely give it a try [emoji4]

Have you heard any good bits about the svc at tolichowki? Maybe you can check with hyd domi group for their suggestions about a better svc.

Dipstick O-ring is gone I think. You can easily get an O ring for below ₹10.

Hey guys, so today I drained the stock 10w50 FS of my Dominar and filled her up with this. Now, I've measured and poured exactly 1500 ML Oil but when I checked the window with my bike standing straight oil was touching 2nd line. Is it normal or do I need to fill more?

Guys, today morning I checked the oil level with my bike standing straight. BTW I happened to tilt her towards right coz I slipped while holding her as the floor was wet and no we didn't fell [emoji16]
Anyways, I held her straight till the oil level settles and now this is what its showing. Do I need to topup with few more ML's or is it enough?

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

That's perfectly fine. No need to pour more.

You need to run the bike for few mins in the morning and then check the oil level with the bike upright - this is called the warm oil check and is the right way to check. Incase it still is on the lower side, then you can do a small top-up.

But having said this, if you have drained it and added 1.5Ltr back, it should be absolutely fine.

Did you change the oil filter and o-ring?

Thanks for replying ☺
No I didn't change the oil filter as it was replaced 500 KMS ago during 1st servicing.

Don't tell the Bajaj folks that you changed your oil to non Bajaj oil (assuming you are within the standard 2yrs or 30000kms warranty period). They'll straight away void your warranty.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

I've not faced such problem in my domi. But had this issue in my Fiat Punto car. One of the cell in the battery was found to be weak. 1 year old exide battery could not produce enough amps (voltage was correct always). Check the battery amps (load test) in a reputed battery shop. After replacing battery, it never re occurred.

Before buying a new battery, try with another battery from service or from your friends dominar.

Hope it helps.
