Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Could be multiple reasons...cold climate, even tight jeans could cause cramps.

Nope. I was wearing a loose fit Cargo. not the weather. it was not in hills.

I am riding bikes for one and a half decades brother. My Last ride was CBR 250R ABS & Electra 5s.

Its not cramps in the leg. the Footrest position and ergonomics I am asking.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Ownership Experience Thread

Installed 25mm handlebar risers from viaterra. Sitting position is a lot relaxed. It's feels great in traffic but for empty stretches, i would rather be without them. I will keep them thru the rains and take them off in winter.

Is there any problem with the clutch play after installing the risers? Cuz after I installed them I feel like the clutch is so tight and during frequent gear shifts (traffic/ghat roads) hand starts paining. Did u change the clutch cable with a lengthier one?

I agree, i am going to stop by at local mechanic and get the clutch adjusted. I find the throttle also harder to twist.
There is advantage to having them especially for potholed roads in rains.

Oh, then pls keep us posted. I too will check from my end during the third service this week and keep u posted. Hopefully if my guess is right the 220f clutch cable should be lengthy enough for the risers. AFA the throttle I didn't feel much difference.

Cheers! Ride safe!

Hi i recently bought a dominar its a good bike but gear indicator is strongly missed and besides . My bike does not decrease rpm immidiately after me reducing the throttle it takes time to co e fown sat about 5 to 10 seconds . Is it normal . Thanks

Congrats on your bike.

My bike was from the first lot, and I just got the new ecu update flashed. (You already must be having the latest ecu map)

I can confirm that the bike is holding rpm much longer than before. And I am so happy about it.

Initially, especially in 1st and 2nd gear, the moment you release the throttle, the bike used to go in a sudden 'in your face' kind of engine breaking. It was very annoying to ride in traffic. I had to clutch every time before releasing throttle. The new update solves my biggest issue in the Dominar.

That happens with the fresh update. It then starts reading your riding style and adjusts the FI. initially, I was also getting much lesser engine breaking but it has come to normal. You might want to look into throttle control to understand how to use it correctly. More engine breaking is always a good thing.

In that note, can you tell me if you find it difficult to keep your legs comfortably on the foot pegs? I had the same issue and I adjusted the gear shifter to be a little lower than normal. I can tell you that the left leg is at utmost ease. Om the other hand, the break lever is extremely difficult to adjust. So on my case, its the right leg that feels cramped. I know its not good to keep your foot off the break but that's how i have been dealing with it.

I should try this adjustment on the gear shifter. Let me try that. On the right side I am perfectly comfortable with my toe resting on the Pedal.

I also feel a sudden lack of bite from the front Brake. Its not the ABS for sure coz its not happening while jamming the lever. It feels like slipping. it happens on sometimes but not regularly.

Probably the I'll effects of de-gressing the breaks with Diesel. Clean the breaks (don't scratch) and Ride for a few hundred kilometres and if its not fixed, probably will have to go to the service center. God I hate service center guys!
