Hi,
I will start of the bat. I want a bike within 10days. That is by 16th June. And sorry for this late post here I recently joined xbhp. My budget is 2.3lakhs precisely.
My expectations:
Good Tourer
comfortable riding
very reliable engine
Bikes I sorted out
Mojo 300 bs4
Dominar 400
Cbr250r
So here the dilemma starts. I have owned Bajaj 180 ug4 for last 4 years and clocked 32000kms. I was in college when I bought the bike that is 2013. And till 2016 January I clocked 22k Kms. Then came the problem. I used to ride hard, like hard engine braking etc. So on Dec 2015 there was flood in Chennai where I live and luckily my bike was not drowned. Till then I had not had a problem with my bike except I had to change clutch assembly two times(since I downshift frequently without clutch)
So in January the engine oil was completely drained and left was 100ml of oil. The oil indicator was not showing and I dint check the engine oil level as the glass where we can see the level was blacked due to water and dirt. So when I went for a short spin of 40 Kms the bike stopped in middle without a noise. I was at 85. I was in Chennai bypass,luckily nothing happened. I parked my bike in side of bypass road and checked and saw small smoke coming out of air filter. I was like dude I am smoked. Then took the bike to mechanic and he said oil was too low as I mentioned above and this caused my cylinder and piston to wear. I changed the cylinder n piston to new. I dint rebore. Then something happened after thousand kms. Same problem. The reason is engine oil was leaking from crank case. Dono why. Then I rebore it at 24k kms and in 26k again same thing happened. By this time I was going to office and I dint ride hard. So I almost spent like 35k in one year.
So here is my question. Should I go for Dominar 400 given that bad experience I had with bajaj bike. Or should I go to Mahindra MOJO which I find to have good reliable engine than Dominar. Specs apart. I need reliable engine. Cbr 250r was stopped so I can't go for it now. My choice is with two bikes. MOJO OR Dominar.
MOJO
better ENGINE,
BETTER TYRES
Better high speed touring capabilities (less vibration at high speed of 130+)
Less service centers
Poor Lighting
Poor rear brakes
TOURING EDITION (lighting taken care of
Bs4 front brakes taken care of
DOMINAR
Less build quality I mean plastics
Lot of vibration at higher speeds
Better Lighting
Better cornering ability.
Vfm
abs
slipper clutch 😍
Engine reliability????????
Help me in deciding
I liked both bikes very much. Only thing is engine reliability in Dominar and exhaust note.
In mojo it's service center although I have a service Centre near my house. But since I wanna go for long tour I find this little worrying. As for corner I can restyle exhaust to under seat.
Plz help me as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance
