Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

I recently bought a Dominar 2019 and I noticed a issue when I try to push the bike in reverse, a shrieking noise is heard( only when I push the bike backwards)...any guess what's the issue is? I have a service coming up I'll tell them about the issue just need some advice if it's easily fixable.

Get the chain slack Checked up seems to be on tighter side.

Guys, how many of you have changed your dominars tyres and which ones did you went for.Also share which brand your got as your OEM and which one you opted for.
Did anyone changed their size for the rear tyre.Mine has came with MRF and they are crappy ones.Also the rear one is too thick for our needs.
I did read about tyres talks but dont remember which page was it shared so either if anyone knows that do share the link of that discussion.
Thanks.

Get apolo alpha h1, they are nearly as good as the metzelers and costs about 10k ₹ for the set.

Nopes. 11:XX shows up correctly. Problem is only with 10:XX which shows up as 0:XX only.

Well... There Are Bugs... Hour Side Shows Just Single Digits.. I See 0:15 Instead Of 10:15.. Nothing Else...

Just check if you are getting this sound from your wheel disc.

Hi guys

I have recently acquired D400 UG Green and have done about 850 kms. Few words on my experience. It's an absolutely a tour machine. Love the punch it offers. I read through most of the pages in this thread however, still lot to learn about the machine. After the first service, felt the bike smooth and the grear change was slick.

Only wished that we had 15 litre tank capacity instead of 13 liters that would have given us comfortable 300 kms tank range on highways.
Following up on the recent ECU update that was provided by Bajaj where the primary instrument cluster now shows the Gear indicator and Time. I welcome this since I found that it is bit inconvenient to droop low to secondary display.

Congratulations Sri. Welcome to the Dominators Club. You're very right, the GPI and tell tale lights are placed way back, it's hard to have a glance, drooping down would mean, we can miss what's in front at times, so that's indeed a bummer at times. Nonetheless, you should love the bike. Hope to see you sometime riding it up to Ooty. Ride safe!

Cheers!

No need to worry its basically your break pads nothing else. Ask the SC guy to rub bikes brake pads during 1 service

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Happened to me as well after the first service. All they have to do it is take off the headlamp fairing and stick a double sided absorbing patch at all connecting points. I got mine done and now there aren't any vibrations. Go to svc and insist on this and don't pay a dime for it.

Got my first "own" bike, 45 days ago. Clocked about 1500km. It's an absolute hoot to ride and I'm absolutely in love with this machine <3 The best part of owning this? When you toss the keys to your friend for a quick spin and the roar you hear when they're coming back!

Coming to the actual issue, I've been hearing a very harsh rattling noise from the front headlamp assembly, above 5000-6000 RPM. The speed is not of concern, only the RPMs are. The noise only comes up during hard acceleration, no matter if it is from a stand still or a rolling acceleration. At first I thought the visor could be loose, but it was rock solid.

The bike has never been dropped, abused or taken apart, only a few hard acceleration runs.

Any help figuring out the problem would be appreciated.

Additionally, I'm planning on a few mods, like tall windscreen, bashplate, handlebar risers, pillion backrest, knuckle guards and hydraulic clutch replacement.

I'd like to know your preference of vendors for the parts.

Sorry for any errors, this is my first post on the forum.

Thanks!

Congrats on your new bike. I went through your old but brilliant write ups on restoration of Yamaha bikes RXZ 1999, RX 100 1993. Hats off to your patience and the way you took care of even the minute details of the bike .

So being a hardcore Yamaha fan, what made you choose a bike from Bajaj stable? And why Dominar in particular?

Yes, you can take up the route from bandipur. They are permitting the uphill for all vehicles. but the downhill from ooty to masinagudi is restricted to locals only.

I don't know about the pricing, but get the insurance done from outside, it will be cheaper.
