Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread
3 week update:
On a separate note saw a plum coloured Dominar overtake me yesterday on a busy patch. Would have liked to ride with the guy or at least approach him but he was cutting through traffic as if his life depended on it, so let him go. Feels strange watching such a heavy bike being chucked mercilessly through traffic. But then to each his own.
3 week update:
- Bike seems to have become more vibey in the 4500 rpm to 5000 rpm range. Either that or perhaps I am getting more comfortable with the bike and been taking it upto those rpms more often.
- Suspension is extremely hard and I shall get it softened in the first service. As of now even extremely small bumps are more than noticeable.
- I am yet to find my most appropriate seating position on the bike. The straight handlebars but leaned over position though not uncomfortable will still take some getting used to. At 6 ft tall I was extremely at home on the NS.
- I like the fact that you can simply release the clutch in first gear and the bike rolls off the line without any throttle input. This is a lot like the Duke 390.
- Getting loads of attention despite the dark colour which is not such an attention grabbing colour. The LEDs are generally what makes people do a double take.
- Finally getting used to the weight of the bike. It was always flickable but I was a bit apprehensive during u turns and tilts earlier. Now I feel more confident.
- I have realised that upon starting the bike the throttle blips itself to 2000 rpms for half a second and settles back within the 1500 rpm range. I have seen this feature in expensive sportsbikes and kinda like these small touches Bajaj has given.
- I mostly ride after office at night along with my wife and she seems comfortable within city limits. Recently took an extremely steep ramp (at least 50 degrees angle) to come out of a basement parking with my wife and the bike did not feel stressed at all.
