Were you asking for the front wheels of the bike or car?

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

If it's just for one off, head to a garage and use the paddock stand (with additional fittings to hold the front wheel). For long term, you can either use a paddock or get a centre stand (sahyadri).

Else, stick to car wheel jack and you'll need to use the base of the front shocks to push the front portion upwards. Bit tricky and you'll need to be very careful to not topple the bike.

I use to do it using 4ltr berger paint ka khaali box, fill it up with something put it under convertor box for rear wheel and then under the suitable side on front to lift the front wheel. This never failed me on Dominar. Worked on front wheel many times without issues. Carjack would also do the job well.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

You have oil leak from the stator coil wire exit,a common problem with Dominars. You can use Anabond sealant after cleaning the bike. Make sure all the dirt and muck is washed from the engine casing, wipe it off clean. Use an RTV sealant (apart from the RED sealant) make sure it's applied around the rubber boot, and let it dry. You shouldn't have any more leaks. Make sure, you mildly lift the rubber boot and apply the sealant under it so it forms an even seal.

Simple fix.

Thanks mate...


Can you check is this the one https://www.amazon.in/Anabond-666-Si.../dp/B01B538C0K

Also, if any point in time the casing has to be removed will this sealant pose a problem while taking out that wire off?

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Some of the changes i did on my ride are as follows

Visor and KTM knuckle guard.
Front and rear tyres changed to RALCO Speedblaster with upsizing both of them
Went for a one night ride to MountAbu and it was an excellent trip with two other friends on their bikes.
Dominar is a perfect bike to have with the price point its been sold, power is tapped exactly as needed compared to duke which feels insane compared to dominar.
Havana green is a looker and people surely gives a look at what passed by.We covered 567 kms and i got the FE of 40.18KMPL which i am highly impressed.
Did this trip after getting my first service done.There was some vibrations on the right side of my tank which was duly opened and upon inspecting the bold holding tank was missing on the right side of tank which was fitted properly.There has been complains on the right side guard bolts breaking up and so bajaj have asked all their ASS to change the bolts broken FOC and the ones that come with complains refit them with their thread locker LOCTITE additive.[ATTACH]250716[/ATTACH][ATTACH]250715[/ATTACH][ATTACH]250717[/ATTACH][ATTACH]250718[/ATTACH][ATTACH]250719[/ATTACH]

Mind showing us the rear tyre? And please mention the size too.

I will share the pics as and when I start to tour.

Any workaround for back break . Although i believe engine breaking is sufficient for the dominar to shed speed.

Engine breaking on a bike with slipper clutch? I don't think so.

No, the casing need not be removed. It's a very simple fix. Make sure the area is clean and apply the thin layer in and around he rubber cup. Mildly pull the rubber cap up, as far as it can come up, and apply it inside it also, so that when it dries, it forms a good seal. Yes, you can use the above RTV sealant, it almost works very well for all oil weep from places such as stator wire exit, valve cover and what not.

Can you share a pic with knuckle guards fixed?

How much did it cost you? Also did the seller bought back the old tyres? If so how much did he pay?

40.18KMPL?? Really??
Did you calculate from tank to tank or its just the average fuel economy displayed on the console?

Hi , If im not mistaken , Slipper clutch activates only when you downshift aggressively such that the rpms shoot up too high and locks the rear wheel

The bike definitely has engine breaking , since its a large displacement engine you definitely shed speed easily in lower gears.

Ok, you might be right since you own and ride the bike .

Later if I'm willing to remove that wire due to some other fault, will it come out? or the sealant will pose a problem?

It won't pose any problem. It's just a sealant not an adhesive or a thread locker, so don't worry about it. It's meant to seal the fine gaps.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

This was taken during the week I took delivery. Just done 900kms so far.

Need to check the bolts and nuts if they are still there or gone already. Anyways, these are part and parcel of product. I would be more than happy if someone does the remaining run-in (1000kms) for me. Already my 2 stroke moped is in run-in. 2 Karizmas, RX100, RXZ(not covered in pic) and now Dominar. [emoji39]

Yes here are the pictures with knuckle guard fixed, also if you see the pictures i shared one is with knuckleguard.
For the complete set it costed me 3.3K for the tyres in exchange of older ones.Plus fitting charges and front fender raisers all costed me 800/- as the tyres i got from is a wholeseller and i got it done at my regular FCG guy.
Yes i calculated tankful to tankful method and not on the dynamic range bike console shows.On this i shared what i achieved.
