  • Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

    Hi guys,

    Almost nearing the 10k mark on my 2019 dom. Anyone tried a rear suspension swap to make the ride more comfortable? Front shocks are soft, and the rear is at the softest setting at the moment. Any suggestions to make the ride more softer?

      Swap with what, the earlier Dominar has even stiffer rear mono shock. 2019 is more in the cushy side. More soft , u would end upsetting the high-speed handling and dynamics.

        I was thinking of an aftermarket rear suspension. Yeah understood, thanks for the reply Ijs, but any other suggestions?

          Finding similar size after market exhaust with softer settings is difficult. Try changing seat foam or try something like fego float or ride on air.

              Yes, I have now changed from Shell to BPCL to check the possibility with fuel.. I think, it will need atleast a tank or two to start reflecting..

              I spoke with the SVC last week related to CATCON, he said not likely but then yes I am considering that too...

              Also knowing that bike is under warranty this should be replaced for free if faulty.. I think, not necessary...

              Thanks buddy
              I would also suggest new plug caps with new ngks, if possible then ngk ones. Older ones might be hard by now, specially the center one below the metal tank.

                Ordered NGK 7 days back, still waiting for the delivery .. Due to some issues with the package, lrlmotor customer care said they are waiting for new ones to arrive then will send them to me...

                What caps are you taking about? The black ones covering those? Do they really impact? I thought they are just dust caps...

                You can also set the chain by yourself... If you are not going to do that as well, skip it.. Guess you must already have an alternative of how to clean chain and lube.. I use a GRoller.. Now unless I plan to set the chain by myself, I see no reason to buy center stand..

                  No it is not only a dust cap, it is what makes the electrical connection between ht cable and the plug. To remove the cap or connector from the plug u have to pull it but to remove it from cable u need to twist it anticlockwise. High intensity plugs works best with super conductor cables and caps, if not the cable then do change the caps/connectors.

                      Also, slightly offtopic: Where can I get a decent wrapjob from? It's not for my bike, I'm planning to wrap my helmet.
                      If you're not particular about authorised SVCs, you could try Motoden in Sanjay Nagar.

                            Thanks! This was helpful! The sound isn't as bad as shown in the video, but I can still get that part changed under warranty.
                            I would rather be riding my bike thinking of God, than sitting in the temple thinking of my bike.
