Anyone has created group for Mumbai/Pune ?

Meet one of the Dominar owner yesterday(Near Kamat, Lonavala) who also follows xBhp and was looking for group. So if there isn't any group yet then let's create one.

i have done already, pls pm your number

150 in and of itself is a good speed for a tourer of this stature. Perhaps they've made sure there is a rev limiter cutoff on the bike in the ECU update, is what we can expect. People who have undergone a ECU update and who have checked their top speed parameters can probably chime in here. Did you rev your bike at idle, what RPM does the console show. If it shows 8.5 then yes, it's the ECU update. If it revs freely till 9.5 then it's perhaps, I just hope you know this thing has six gears.

I got this question VJ. The 35ps is achieved at 8000rpm according to paper by Bajaj. So does it really matter after that? We can hardly extract speed after 8000rpm that too stressing the engine, right? I may be stupid but enlighten me please.

Secondly, for the Dominar to extract its maximum performance and mileage and would be 6400 RPM, to round it, perhaps we can make it's 6500. This is 80% of the engine's peak RPM, which is a perfect RPM to keep her all day long, which is the RPM the engine is at best suited to be ridden all day long without any stress.

The engine only produces torque. The turning force. The rotative force. Power is a unit of convenience invented by us to understand and compare engine potential and also what happens when we are past the peak torque RPM. Power is purely a mathematical concept with no physical status. Hard to believe when power is bandied about so much but thats where it stands. Power is as you correctly stated - torque times RPM. In simple terms this means - Increase torque at same RPM or increase RPM at same torque and you get more power.

Yeah.. It hits 100kmph @ about 5700rpm. So @ 6000 it should reach around 110kmph. I'm gonna be happy with that cuz that's where I'm comfortable to cruise on Indian roads.

As long as they didn't tune when the peak power hits I don't bother about the rpm limitation. Cuz I ain't racing in a track.

Thanks for the explanation. I was little lazy to Google it out. [emoji12]

Btb the owners manual is poorly proof read, Descriptions & illustrations for tool kit & coolant oil are messed up. No information regarding air filter placement too.(But the info is out on Google)

Mileage update:

Tank re-filled for the first time. She drank 11.03 litres of fuel. I rode in reserve for 20kms. Mileage figures are 29.91kmpl, which is awesome considering 60-40 Highway-city ride. Out of 60, 20% was ghat roads.

Fuel meter doesn't update precisely. It shows 3 bars later when u switch off and on it shows only 2. Kinda delusional that it updates only when the ignition is switched on and off. Any body else noted so?

Yes. I have noticed this couple of times.
Especially on long rides, if the tank is full and you do a stretch of 80-100 kms. The fuel indicator shows full all the time, but the minute you toggle the ignition(key), the fuel indicator drops 2 bars. [emoji52]

Really?.! That's gonna be a problem especially when in the last two bars. What if we keep going thinking 2 bars leftand suddenly the tank is dry. Else we might end up damaging the fuel pump. Bajaj better look into this. [emoji53]

I haven't let the fuel indicator drop beyond the last 3 bars yet. Hope this scenario doesn't occur at the bottom bars of fuel indicator.
Has anyone else come across this?
