Bajaj Dominar 400 Power 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.

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

Every bike is good, however it is just a match of your requirements against the machine. so my requirements were1. Powerful engine: at 40ps power revving to 8,500 rpm, you will never feel the power is less2. Comfortable riding position: I had plan to use bike for long drives and occasional commute and for this purpose I would surely need a good riding position. Am 6 feet tall and this bike surely is very comfortable and you sit fairly upright with a good riding posture3. Safety and comfort: Dual channel ABS, biggest disc pads in segment, Slipper clutch, USD, Monoshocks, Refined BS6 engine you will feel you are driving a very safe and well planted bike, it did not seem to swerve or you will never hesitate to rev it higher and brake instantly. the bike will just be so composed to bring you to a standstill with no effort at all.4. Latest tech: although the speedo is not comprehensive as KTM. it certainly is not vintage which brings smile to my face. Also the all LED headlamps are a beast, it illuminates even a vanta black road to daylight.5. Service cost: Owned a pulsar all my life.am aware Bajaj costs will be considerably less or moderate when compared to other manufacturers. Also the service interval being 5k Kms, Dominor does deliver for long haul and with few lesser worriesSo if your checklist of bike purchase matches mine do not hesitate to buy this Phenomenally well-made sport tourer by Bajaj!!

Dominar 400 is a powerful machine which needs to be practised upon before unleashing it on highways and on long rides. Sports tourer which goes hand in hand with little Offroading. It can be difficult to manoeuvre in heavy traffic as due to size and weight. Even though rapid by nature but it isn't light handling for sharp turns and in zigzag manoeuvres in heavy traffic.This bike is a monster on highways as if it enjoys the powerhouse push by which it glides. On an open highway, it is very controlled and ballistic and is a delight to ride. When going on weekend long rides with group to certainly far off places. Would still suggest for short city rides and daily local commute. Best is to use light 200 to 250 cc bikes which are meant for both sports and daily commute uses and leave Dominar 400 for bigger things at weekend and planned long rides intercity or interstate.

The Bajaj Dominar 400 is a game-changer and is a spell-bounding combination of stylish design, impressive performance and affordable cost that revolutionizes the rider's journey. Leaving nobody indifferent, it is Bajaj's sports personality that can be most clearly recognized, representing the passion for performance and progress applied in the development of new motorcycles. With a 400cc engine at its core providing such an exhilarating performance and undoubtedly, very appreciated handling, the ride is an adventure in and of itself. Even the features usually found on more expensive bikes are present on this bike: dual-channel ABS and upside-down forks making for better control and stability whatever the weather. The Bajaj Dominar 400 is an upper class bike which is aimed at those riders who are expecting high performance and power In their bikes.

Most underrated bike available in the country.Bajaj has outdone itself with the dominar 400.If you are looking for that torque pull in a bike that can also go the distance without any hassle, This is the bike for you.With the newer generation coming in, Almost all the issues (mostly related to vibrations and suspension) in my 2018 edition has also been taken care of (with the upside-down forks and a raised handle bar position) along with a considerable bump in power with the dual camshafts, Its even more fun.Only con is that the bike is quiet heavy and bajaj should have worked on making this a lighter machine, Which would have made this into a perfect motorbike for everyday and all kinds of use.

Value for money. Powerful cruiser and a tourer. I have a 2022 model, and it is so convenient to have all the required accessories in stock. I have completed 1500kms till now on this bike, and I really enjoy riding on this. The price for the power that you get is really economic. I believe in the future also this bike would hold its demand if Bajaj works on its weight, connectivity, vibrations, and power to weight ratio. The lakh rupees gap to go for a KTM adventure is one aspect. The other is the seat height. I am 180cms, and I was tiptoeing on the adventure. Dominar's lower seat height makes me feel planted and more in control.
