Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

I just shared the one which I used for 2018 version. See if that helps.

Admin from DRCB mentioned this. He has 2017 model.

You need
R/L mirrors
Left yoke assembly (it will have clutch lever too)
Right yoke (it's a small piece) no stock available so did some jugad for now.

Overall cost is around 1300..

Fitted 2019 mirrors in 2018 model following changed:
A. Left yoke assembly (No clutch lever change).
B. Right upper yoke assembly.
C. New mirrors.

Also installed new bar end weights.

If possible do share the images of parts changed before and after fitment on your bike that would help many owners looking to change to 2019 versions.

Guys, I need Help...

If I start the engine, the normal blinking turns into irregular strobe like flashes..., once I turn off the engine, it returns the normal blinking....

Do you have any idea how can I make this work normally while the engine is running???

Best advised not to you stock indicator flasher for hazards.
Use a standalone flasher and isolate the L-R indicator using Diodes to prevent backflow of current from L->R and viceversa R->L.

It should be good enough if done that way.
Also this way you can also completely remove the bike key and lock it, still have hazards flashing if needed during emergency.

Can you dm me your email id? I'll send the file to you. Can't get a better resolution as I'm taking screenshots from my phone.

Hi friends, so on Monday I'll be taking my ride to sevice centre to adjust the rear monoshock. I know I asked this a while ago but couldn't manage time to go and get it done. Now, the monoshock is in default setting so how many turns will it take and in which direction to achieve plush ride without bottoming out?

Hello Guys, Want to share my experience of ECU reset which i have performed on my bike .
So problem started when service guy flashed the latest ECU 119 update . We all know that dominar's engine becomes harsh when rpm nears to 3.5 -4K & same was the scenario with my bike .But after update , engine become harsh from the very low 2k rpm to 6-7 k . i was not able to pin point the exact problem & was thinking about the chain set/water in tank is the main culprit . So few days back i watched a youtube video about resetting the ECU & as problem i was facing was the same as he explained .

Two days back i performed the reset in the exact way he explained & bike is back to the original state ( Engine smoothness wise ) . According to him , this process removes all the junk file generated so after reset, ecu is able to function smoothly .

Are you asking for the footage of the engine noise before the service? If so here is the footage: https://youtu.be/9EIid2_A_Ig

If the sound is similar, plz take your bike to the service station as soon as possible. You dont want to risk it out with a brand new bike

Can you pls tell me if you hear engine noise or tappet noise in this video ?

Yes, 60-70% engine timing chain noise, 30-40% tappet noise.

Hello Guys,

I own 2018 model, clocked 9.3k kms, age 1.3 years. Gear shift at any lower 2, 3, 4 gears is not smooth many times. Sometimes it shifts without any clunck or hardness. I don't know whether the problem is with clutch plates or clutch free play or any other issue.
I ride responsibly with full clutch disengaged during gear shifts.
Took to service center they adjusted clutch free play but after few hundred kms gear shift becomes soar.
Any inputs whether any thing need to checked/addressed for this issue.

This makes my ride experience really worse
TIA.

Regards,
Nithu

Which engine oil have you been using? And in how many kilometres are you changing it?
