Bajaj Dominar 400 Experience User Reviews

I own a bajaj dominar 400 ug bs iv green & black colour which i purchased in june 2019 from naamdhari bajaj showroom in telibagh lucknow, And till now it has done 25, 000 + kms.So far it has been a very happy and satisfying ownership experience & i expect the same experience from my motorcycle in the years to come as well.I ride this motorcycle daily and am a very satisfied and proud owner of it.I'm getting between 25 - 28 kms/ltr of fuel economy from my motorcycle which is acceptable considering that it is quite a heavy motorcycle and a powerful one as well.373.2 cc & 40 bhp are good power figures for such a motorcycle.It is the most value for money motorcycle available in india and it offers a lot of features as well.Just a few things i would like to mention here that could have made it even better.1 it should have had a bigger 17 - 18 ltrs capacity fuel tank, 13 ltrs fuel tank is just not enough for this motorcycle if long distance high speed touring is on your mind which this motorcycle is very well capable of doing, 2 it should have been 20 - 25 kgs lighter in weight, 3 front disc brake should have offered slightly more stronger initial bite, 4 a main centre stand is missed and it should have been there in this motorcycle.Nonetheless.I am enjoying every moment riding this motorcycle from day one, Love the way it picks up speed in any of the 6 gears, Love the high speed handling and behaviour of this motorcycle at triple digit speeds, The motorcycle only starts wobbling above the speed of 150 km/hr which is an issue that i have faced and many other dominar owners must have also faced the same issue, Till 150 km/hr it is goodlove the feeling that i get while riding it.It always brings a smile on my face 😊love the looks of it 💚got the chain sprocket set changed last month at 24, 000 kms.Stock mrf tyres on this motorcycle are actually very good if not great, I may be trying some other brand tyres once these tyres wear off.I feel they can do another 10, 000 - 12, 000 kms or so.Next set of tyres can be apollo alpha h 1 or metzelers or michelinslet's see.I'm not sure of it rite now.

Over the span of two and a half year i have covered 32, 000 km on my bike.So i think this would be the right time to speak about the bike.Before going into the details.Let me first address the drawbacks for those who have already developed a fondness for this bike.Cons: 1.Weight: the bikes weight is immediately noticeable as it is considerably heavy, But not like the interceptor 650.Manoeuvring it in the city can be challenging.Requiring extra effort due to its weight.2.Riding position: the riding position is slightly leaning towards the front.This may cause shoulders train, Especially during city rides.3.Fuel efficiency: if fuel consumption concerns you, It will be more practical to consider purchasing a scooter or a splendor.Now let’s get to towards the positive side of the bike.Pros: 1.Power: the bike truly is a beast regarding power.It basically is a d-tuned ktm 390 engine.Its potential becomes evident once you open the throttle.It operates on a league of its own offering an exhilarating experience.Additionally, Due to its weight distribution the bike stays of rounded.I was able to hit a top speed of 156 km/h on the open highway.These are the main pros and cons of the bike.However, There are small things that you will discover and evaluate on your own.In terms of service experience.I’ve had a positive experience in bangalore.Although the spare parts can be bit pricey due to the shared compatibility with the ktm model.It’s important not to compromise on maintenance of your bike.While occasional issues may arise but the overall performance remain satisfactory.The only disappointing aspect is the overall build quality, Being primarily made of fibre, Plastic certain parts me develop a slightly looseness over a period of time.To summarise, There are always better bikes.Launching one after the other in the market just go with what you like.

This is a complete review of dominar 400 ug read it to decide whether to take this bike or not.Driving experience is top notch the pickup this bike gives for this price cannot be matched.Some may say put a little more money and get a duke 390 but the sound, Comfort in longs, Mid range performance the official look won't come in duke 390.Coming to the best things it is build quality, Beast like look, Dual barrel exhaust, Pickup, Midrange performance, Looks official to anybody, Attention grabbing bike, Bassy sound, Comfort to the pillion, Nothing compares to this in longs and you'll love the vibration in a good way.Coming to bad things bike is heavy compared to competitors, Not easy to maneuver in traffic, you turn is difficult, Heating is more when you are static or in slow moving traffic, Difficult to lift when bike falls, Maintenance is comparatively high but manageable and fuel economy is average.After sales service is good don't go to service centers other than bajaj.Features in this bike is very basic you get a negative cluster which gives rpm indication, Odometer, Tacho meter and fuel and time.Gear position indicator is on the tank which is difficult to look at which i don't like about this bike.I have to say the dual channel brakes work really well and is a life saver.And one more thing is you get a ton of touring accessories for this bike which upon addition becomes a great tourer you can take this bike to hard places it will travel with all the heart with you.Just go for it neglect small disadvantages and go for the bike.

my hunt for a new bike started two weeks ago. i wanted a bike that was reasonably priced and fun to ride , mileage was not an issue for me as I am not a daily commuter(this is what i thought initially but now i cant resist it taking daily to office)test rides taken before buying dominar 20191. apache rtr 200 4v smooth engine, no vibrations, right balance of performance and comfort2 honda cbr250- lacked modern features, a little pricey3. RE classic 350- showroom experience was best among all the bike brands in India, thumping engine/exhaust , great bike but i was hungry for more power4. yamaha FZ25 - decent bike, smooth engine,nothing to complaint about as such5. wanted to test ride gixxer 250 but was not available at the nearest showroom.6. i ruled out duke 390 as iam not a pro rider and i would have not done justice considering the potential of the bike(but my next bike would definitely be a KTM )6. finally went to bajaj dealership the moment i started the dominar ignition i felt that i have woken up a beast the exhaust note was so good to ears at that very moment my hunt ended and i bought the bike2week/300km review.-i kept the bike under 2.5k-3k rpm and i got 35 kmpl( no heavy traffic during my office commute)- power delivery is linear - bassy exhaust note- bearable vibrations in handle bar,tank and foot pegs- headlamps are the best- secondary display is useless( though bajaj has rolled out ECU update to position gear indicator on primary console.)will update review after 1st serviceupdate: after first service bike feels a bit smoother than before. mileage 25- 32kmpl

Starting problem due to purchase and whole body noise everything else very bad bike on bajaj i really very bad experience of bajaj bikes.

-the driving experience of dominar 400 is very smooth, This bike just glides in the traffic and hover on highway.-this bike is very comfortable for long rides.I have rode this bike with 150+ kms in one go and did not face any issue.- the mileage of this bike is low in traffic but can get upto 30+ kms/litre on highway.-the additional benefit of this new version of the bike is the back rest it makes the pillion very comfortable for long rides.-there is no j**k while changing gears, No stalling.- the additional fitting for adding carrier just adds value to the bike.-the vibrates over 120kms of speed.-the feature are less comparative to their competition but has more comfort than it rival bikes.-the after sale service is good but still the people in the service center does not listen to your requirements.-the parts are not explicitly available in the service center, Had to wait for the parts for more than 2 months.- in conclusion the bike is a super hit and has almost everything and all features which a touring bike would need and would be a best buy for any tour love people, Only if the parts and accessories would made available on time then it would have been a 10/10 rating bike.-as per with the current specifications and parts availability i would rate it as 7/10.

From experience perspective, This is one of the best bikes to consider for touring, And in a very reasonable budget.Amazing comfort, No vibrations, Very refined engine and capable of doing decent speeds of around 120kmph comfortably on highways.The best thing about this is the touring capabilities in terms of luggage carrying capacity and setup options, And a very comfortable seat, Enabling to ride for long distances at a stretch.Something that is not very good about it though, Is because of the weight of the bike, It compromises on the maneuverability in cities while riding in traffic, But it is all about getting used to the feel of the bike.The overall performance is just amazing, No shortfalls whatsoever, And a decent mileage of around 30kmpl in highways (considering a 400cc engine) and 25kmpl in city traffic, And decent acceleration to keep up and stay ahead of traffic.However, I am not entirely satisfied with the after sales service, Although a major factor in this is people, Who can be very different in different places.But from my personal experience, I would not consider after sales service to be a plus point here.Overall, Enjoyable experience to own and ride this bike, Cheap maintenance cost and lots of fun.Enjoy an amazing set of 2 wheels!!.

I own this bike for the past 1 year. Believe me, it feels like you are driving a great bike. It has a great road presence and it catches so much attention on the road. Nevertheless, initially, you feel it is a bit heavy if you are upgrading from the low cc bikes. With my experience below are some pros and cons. Pros:- 1. People will notice you when you are riding this. 2. Stability is amazing. You won't even feel like you are going with 100+. 3. The mileage is also good. It can give you somewhere between 25-30 all depending on your driving style. 4. Now it comes with riding accessories so it is very helpful. 5. It is so budget-friendly and has a tough body as per Indian terrains. 6. Maintenance is very low per 400 cc bike. 7. It has great power the 400cc engine provides 40bhp which is good in this price range. Cons:- 1. Suspension can be better. Sometimes riding feels a little bit stiff. But only on long stretches. 2. Brakes can be better. Anyway, it comes with dual channel ABS but still doesn't give you that much confidence as compared to its rivals like KTM/BMW. 3. Not so good for people with short height. If you are like 5.6 feet then you can handle it. 4. Even though Bajaj's service network is good you will not find their service quality up to the mark.

I bought my dominar 400 in august 2020, My initial experience with the bike was not too good as i found it too heavy and somewhat difficult to handle.Although after riding it for a couple of months i started to like it and felt great after the first service.The heating issue of the engine was gone.Suddenly it felt more nimble to handle and easy to maneuver.I have done multiple long trips to himachal and uttrakhand and this machine never disappointed me.I changed the chain sprocket set at 23k and got new tyres just last week.If i were to buy a new bike i would go for this one again for sure.As a rider i would recommend this machine to every rider who wants to transition to big bikes.
