    Personally, I like the way it looks with the DRLs and the attention that comes with it too😋
    Heheh, the attention is good. I just want the moral upper hand when i ***** about the aholes who don't use the dipper at all [emoji12]

      Hahah.. Yeah... Btw, you still can use the pass button while on the DRLs.. It turns on the low beam.

        Bike has performed extremely well during the trip. Was getting mileage of 29-32 before first service. Getting 35-36kmpl now.
        I would recommended following the run-in. I hope that recommended run-in procedure gives better mileage.
        Cheers.
        hello, can you or someone can help me with mileage calculation, i filled my tank up to the brim now. petrol bars are full. calculation is till the last bar or when that last petrol bar is also till nil? i mean all 8bar gone or till 7bar. i reseted my trip 2 meter as soon as i got the the tank filled

          HI Guys,

          I'm getting a weird sound around the black fibre portion of the secondary console when the bike is @4k rpm, I know its because of the vibration. Is any one having the similar issue. When I put my hand on the console with some pressure the noise is lost. Any work around..?

          Another doubt I have is the fuel meter. when it's has 1 Bar, how much litre of petrol is remaining... If it's starts blinking or there is no Bar, is that means it has only minimum of 3 litre of petrol ?

            List of minor cosmetic changes on my dominar:

            1)Removed saree guard
            2)Removed lower mud guard
            3)White Rim stripes
            4)Black tank decals
            5)Smoked indicators
            6)Matte/Shiny vinyl on windscreen ( as it was very prone to scratches)
            Nice mods on the bike. It would be great if you can share which wrap are you planning to put up. As I checked out 3M and they said on white bike after 2-3 months the film would appear yellowish.

              in my review the DRL( daytime runnung light ) are not a negative it actually due to bright sunlight the light visibility of this leds are great so it makes other noticiable but we should shift to dipper light when there is late evening or so because drls are in upper way to the eye and illuminate the whole way nearby and people opposite to the vehicle might complain. i do find people telling me by making few hand actions " light on hai".i feel its a safety. i heard that all the vehicle would be getting drls and aho as necessary in upcoming generation of vehicles including 4wheeler.

                Im thinking of wrapping it Matte Black. With maybe red or gold accents here and there. The shiny black parts will be "carbon fibre" vinyl. Will have to see how it turns out.

                  same issue with lots of dominar around. vibration of some part even i hear in front of tank nearby. but it just gets low during service and change of engine oil. but i feel its some fitment screw tightness needed which they do in service. even i have a doubt about the last petrol bar and the reserve part...

                    Bro, some small item might have gone into the secondary console gap. Thats the main problem. Call the service centre and they'll fix it.
                    As for the petrol, it will have 3ltrs after it starts blinking.

                      Fill the tank till brim.
                      Ride till maybe last 2 bars.
                      Then fill up again.
                      Kms ridden/no. of liters in second fill up= mileage.

                        it starts blinking from the last bar(8th bar) that means from there 3liters.
                        Thank you

                          Yeah but dont run your bike on reserve. The manual recommends that there must be atleast 3ltrs in the tank at all times. Donno why but rather be safe than sorry

                                Cool.. Hope to hear a good mileage figure. Mine's giving about 28kmpl in medium traffic. That too after 1st service.
