Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

The bike moves a lot after 130kmph is it normal ?

I'd be worried if the odo showed 130 kmph and the bike isn't moving at all, be glad its moving!

Joke apart, 130 kmph is a pretty high speed for wind blast to be felt, that too on a naked bike. I think that's expected, unless you're talking about bike moving itself in any random direction.

Regards.

I meant swerves right and left , i guess tyres are not upto the marks or maybe due wind blast.
You really have to hold it tight to prevent that
that shouldn't be the case with the bike of this weight [emoji21]

You mean a side wind gust is swaying you off the straight line. It's expected as long as you feel the wind hit your body as well. Without that is something else

Ya wind hits the body but i thought weight of the bike would prevent it.
But now considering dukes are more light it would be so scary on dukes !!!

Dry grip on MRF Revz C is top notch. Make sure air pressure is correct. I have felt that even with this bike. There are you tube videos with side wind causing crashes for Superbike as well. The impact is greater at higher velocities due to lower traction. A 110 kg bike @ 60 kmph will fare better than 183 kg @ 130 kmph in sidewind.

Hey I'm planning on wrapping my bike. Will it require a change in rc ??

If you change the body color, it will.

The buzz start at 4k rpm and remains there through the rev range but it is very mild.
Vibes are part to the package in high capacity single cylinder engine for better refinement we need more than one cylinder. This would get better with more oil changes.
Post ecu update the rpm limiter cuts at 8.5krpm so it is normal do check at what rpm the light comes on. And the engine makes it peak power at 8k rpm so no point revving it beyond that and putting undue stress on it.
You can try using the car scissor jack for lifting the rear wheel place under the right side swing arm and slowly open it to a point when the wheel is in air. Or you can buy paddock stand or a cheaper one called moto jack.

As I suggested before and saying again shoot an email to bajaj customer care id given in the manual and also if possible change the service center.

Sent mail to bajaj. And call come to same station my bike was. How can it be solve.

Normal behavior sir i also experience this due to heavy cross wind , if check some of my previous post u will find it . I feel this fishtailing or rear wheel losing traction at around 90kmph when ridimg solo. But things get better whem i crouch or increase the speed i also got the rear wheel check for any alignment issues but nothing. And things are much stable with a pillion . My crux is a small windshield would help.

Shoot one more mail quoting ur previous mail and mention that service center in incapable of handling the issue also add the you are thinking about approaching consumer court . Also if u get ur areas visiting engineer's contact number , talk with him. Post on Face book and also Twitter if u can.

Kindly approach the dealership. They will replace the battery or direct you to a battery dealer to replace the battery. Most probably its the battery fault.

Actually I am far away from my dealer . Once they have changed it . I want to know is there any problem with any other biker. Whenever bike is not used for a day , batter is drained out bike does not start . It doesn't have kick start , problem becomes very serious. Problem might be due to electric earthing some where in the wiring of the bike . Please advise me .

The point is - if you change body color by any method - it requires a RC change legally. Adhering to it or not is one's wish.

+1.
Legally new colour should be entered in the rc.
