Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Yes, I faced the same issue while in traffic after the bike was heated. Got ECU to reset in the last service and also cleaned the BS4 petrol drain line and the problem never occurred. Covered 1200 Kms after the work was done and looks fine till date.

Please check the BS4 petrol line, that needs cleaning on a regular basis. I think that is the culprit.

ECU version - 117
Odo - 6K Kms.

Hi All,

It has been months when I was away from xbhp.

So coming to the problem, I faced the same problem of bike not starting when bike was heated. All cooling system was working fine like coolant level and radiator fan, etc.

Went to Kolkata's best mechanic (as per knowledge) and got the problem resolved within couple of hours. It has been more than 3000 KMs now and problem has never reoccurred. Current ODO - 12400 KMs.

Following were done to get it fixed:
a. Throttle body clean.
b. Fuel filter changed.
c. BS4 pipeline cleaned.
d. Fuel Lid of the petrol tank cleaned.

Bike is running like charm since then.

To the 2019 Dominar owners, if any of you feel a buzzing sound at lower RPM, check your secondary display. That sound is coming from there.

Hearing this rear break problem from almost all 2019 Dominar owners. This might be an ABS issue. Probably it is kicking-in too early and releasing the breaks even when the wheel is not locked. If so, an ECU update from Bajaj might fix it.

ECU update is for ABS or for Fuel injection unit

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

On that note has anyone tried windshield which bajaj provides as accessory.
I am planning to take it from bajaj and would like to know if it really does the job.
Also I am planning to get a mobile holder from bajaj only.

Windshield from Bajaj? Also a mobile holder from bajaj? I haven't seen those, nor knew about them either.

Well, I'm confused , guess you are right, ECU has nothing to do with the functioning of ABS.

In bangalore bajaj is giving these additional accessories like:
Windshield for 2500
Mobileholder for 2k approx
Backrest for -2k approx
Number plate holder for front -350

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Red is expected to come with the BS VI later this year. No specific dates though.

A little offbeat question here.
WHEN DOES THE NEW COLOURS OF DOMINAR 2019 is arriving?? Any genuine news?

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

1) The thumb starter sometimes take 2-3 crank for starting engine.
2) The gear shift are smooth but makes thud sound while engaging first gear.
3) The Rear brakes are almost non-existent feeling. I really need some feedback from rear brake.
4) Vibes are felt on right foot pegs, near 3k and near 4k RPM. Tolerable but not you'll like in long tours.
5) Mirrors vibrate on same RPM, almost impossible to see what vehicle is coming behind.

break - in

1) Ask the SC to check the battery. It shouldn't take multiple cranks to start the engine.
2) first gear thud is expected. For remaining gears, ensure you shift at 4k rpm. It's generally butter smooth at those rpms.
3) same problem for me too and for most other owners. Need to figure out another solution, and not sure if a weak rear brake is there by design
4) ask SC to recheck the foot pegs setup for any loose connections, but the vubs go once you pick up the gears
5) tighten the screws. I have the 2018 version and the screws do get loose every few months. One tighten and they are set for the next few months.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

If you are shorter than 5'10", then try out carbon racing. Though few are now complaining that it has resulted in the headlight assembly becoming impacted (gaps being seen).

Hey guys

Can someone please suggest me the best windshield for speeds above 120 for my 2019 model.

TIA

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

They have signed up with Autologue for the accessories.

In bangalore, few showrooms work with Hyperrider for a set of accessories.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

As per my knowledge, there are two ecus. The one which is updated as 117(ABS) /118 (non abs) is the FI unit.

ABS one is left untouched till there are any major issues.

ECU update is for ABS or for Fuel injection unit

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Hi,
My Dominar is 1 year 4 months old and the battery is dead. Even last week I had a 80 kms drive and it was fine. So not sure how it went kaput suddenly.
I understand battery has 18 months warranty. Has anyone claimed warranty for the battery? Bajaj service center guys say that I need to go to Exide directly and claim the warranty. Any experience and feedback, please?

I think the service center guy is right. Not only Bajaj, for any vehicle manufacturer, the battery claims are directly handled my battery manufacturer. The same I guess will be noted in User manual. Check on the user manual and confirm.
