Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Just tight the screw, if you still feel screw is not getting tight, the you have see the bracket.

Dominar owners kindly advise.
I came back from a trip and noticed that the screw rubbers that tighten the visor are broken(the rubber part). I have been using Lluvia Windshields along with numberplate holder. Please see the attached pics:


Please suggest if I would have to replace the entire panel which holds the rubber and screw or will have to replace just the rubbers and screws.
Furthermore, Dominar Owners in Kolkata, please suggest a good dominar service center in Kolkata. I have been getting my bike serviced and repaired from 'Topsia OSL Bajaj' but they are more focused at undermining and ignoring the problems rather that solving it.

Quick reply will be highly solicited.
Thank you.

UPDATE
I visited the Bajaj Service Center in Joka, Kolkata today and they replaced just the rubber part for Rs 49. The Dominar Technician advised not to place heavy loads such as big visor along with number plate holder tighten in same screw, doing which will again break the rubber part.

Today, i was inspecting my vehicle and found that my brake pads are likely to go more 15-18k kms. My odo stands at 20020 kms and the stock pads are not even half worn out. 🤔

Also I'm posting some pics which are from Head assembly of my bike. Found some sludge type formation with dirt accumulated on it. I'm not sure what is this? GASKET leak?? If anyone faced similar issue, pls shed some light.

Also, I'm not able to ascertain whether my bike has tappet or shims issue, sometimes the noise is more, sometimes less. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy0_PA_hihY

I think it is tappet. I own a 2019 dominar and at around 10000km i started facing a similar sort of issue.I think urs sounds more. Initially I was in Mumbai and there they said it's normal "itna toh awaaz aata hai". I let it be but after I came to bangalore I heard a few more dominars and they didn't sound like this. I went to khivraj bajaj at around 13000km and there they accepted that there is some issue. Later on they replaced camshafts and tensioner under warranty. The sound is not gone but has definitely come down. And you know the technician said this is normal wear and tear and after 10k or so it will happen again. Escalate the issue. This needs to be checked properly to ascertain the cause.

Hello guys,

I need to get some information from Dominar riders in Delhi.

Which is the best Bajaj Service center in delhi?
Which is the best private mechanic in delhi who charges reasonably?

My bike is more than 3 years old now and I'm utterly disappointed with bajaj svc. I'm based in South delhi.

Update:
Going by your original post the boiling coolant clearly points to the cooling system failure, make sure fan is working check the fuse, leave the bike at idle for 15 to 30 minutes the fan should come on.
Still if it keeps overheating ,means there is some air block in the plumbing. Get the old coolant flushed out and fill fresh one.
As you have mentioned rpm not crossing 4k rpm clearly means the limo mode due to overheating. Don't know how they missed it.
Ignore the oil pressure sensor. For now get the cooling system checked out properly.
Sorry i am not active on this thread any more but you can pm me or pm me on taptalk if you use it .

Hey guys,
My 2017 2nd batch Domi has been showing engine oil error since last couple of months..Initially I thought that the engine oil could have gotten old as it was not used for some time intermittently..
Replaced the engine oil too but even then the engine oil warning light glows up..but here's the thing, it would not glow unless the bike is ridden for at least couple of minutes at around 3500-4000 rpm..if I keep the revs below 3500, then the light won't come on even after 10 mins of riding, but at >=3000 rpm, it takes hardly 2 mins...
Could this be due to a faulty sensor/thermostat?
Please advise

[Usual suspect]

How should I get certain about what's causing the issue? Any suggestions?

[Vishal Wagh]

Hey Usual suspect does the radiator working.

[Usual suspect]

Hey Usual suspect does the radiator working.

Yes, the radiator is working absolutely fine..the fan also turns on & off when it should..
Another point here is that when I keep the rpm below 3500 & then take it to a stretch where I would keep it consistently above 3000, then in a about 2 mins or so, the warning light comes on..
Then when I switch off the engine, all lights become normal until the next time it happens again

[Vishal Wagh]

Hey Usual suspect that means thermostat and radiator fan are ok. Check the coolant level and oil level (Engine should be little warm).
Note:- Be Careful while checking the coolant level.

[Usual suspect]

Hey Vishal, Coolant was topped up just 1 month back when engine oil was replaced so both of them are good to go..
I'm just unable to understand that what else could be wrong as the warning light is still coming on as described in previous post 🙄

[Vishal Wagh]

Hey Usual suspect why I'm telling you to check, is because in higher rpm and speed, circulation of fluids is high. At the time of filling some amount of air get trapped inside the system which gives false reading of fluid levels. So best way to measure it after few km of trial.

[gods_toy]

I just bought a dominar 400 bs6 april 2021 model. Though I know its not good for a new motorcycle to go past a certain rpm limit, after 500+ km i tried to get the motorcycle to 100kmph and to my surprise the bike just shut itself off after 95+. But it did start again pretty easily when I tried. Why is this happening? I am very confused!

[B7ACKTHORN]

The vehicle shouldn't cut off just like that, that's why the RPM limiters kick in at particular RPM and they are set to a set value during running in and post the recommended service interval, they will open the RPM limit. If the vehicle is stalling every time you hit that particular speed perhaps it can be a simple RPM limiter issue, but if doesn't happen every time, then the issue can be something more.

Good luck.

Cheers!

Your oil jets are clogged in the Engine head, need to remove valve cover and all the jets in the Head and jets in Cam Guide needs to be thoroughly cleaned using compressed air. Also clean the entire oil guides channel from both oil pumps.

[Usual suspect]

Hey Kiran, so that can be done only at the SVC, am I right? Or can it be done by a trusted local mechanic? Pls advise..
