Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Yes, the premiumness along with a very low vertical play (due to the lever's thickness) can be felt every time you press the clutch. A friend of mine also installed the adjustable brake lever and noticed a considerable improvement in braking performance.

Well that's what I wanted to hear. The stock levers on Dominar are literally the same cheap ones used in discovers and pulsars, I hate the feel every time I reach for the levers, and this is just within 45 days of buying the Dominar!

Can I buy the levers easily from KTM workshop? If not, can I urge the Bajaj showroom manager to procure one for me, KTM showroom is merged with the bajaj one in my city and is handled by the same manager. He's not my friend or anything, just a friendly manager who tries to be care and co-operate with the premium (dominar) customers.

The KTM SVC in my vicinity does not allow a customer to buy spare parts, so I met the guy after showroom hours and he gave me the levers. But if your guy is friendly enough, there's no harm in asking. BTW what city are you based in?

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

In my experience, I just barged in the workshop and asked for 390 adjustable levers. Th guy pointed me to the KTM window. The guy simply brought me and took the money. If you insist on getting proper bill and shit, they could ask for RC (happened with me at Honda once, bike was somewhere else and I was getting the parts).

Fun fact - the lever is of Minda make, so even if one doesn't gets it from KTM ASC or there's no KTM in your town, one could try the Minda retailer.

PS - the lever was used on P220 & costed 338 rupees MRP.

The levers are a direct fit. The benefits are.
1. Adjustable reach for people for smaller hands.
2. The levers are stronger and of better quality.
3. Lever action is precise.

Visit the KTM workshop and buy the levers. I got my clutch lever in the same way, and got it fitted from ASC itself. Incase you're getting only the clutch lever, I would recommend KTM 390 lever. If you want to change the brake lever as well, I'd suggest looking for aftermarket levers, since the 390 brake lever costs around 1800. No matter how good the lever, it isn't worth 1800. The clutch lever should cost around 350.
