Extremely troublesome bike

4 months ago by Arnab4,038 views

It's one of the most troublesome bike I have ever owned. Poor build quality, breaks down almost at will, zero reliability. I have been stranded multiple times on the road because of its engine and other troubles. Bajaj makes one of the worst motorcycles in the country today. Engine noise, poor handling, bad shocks, everything about the bike is bad except looks. Bottom-line is if you want to go for the looks them buy it out else go for hero, ktm, suzuki or yamaha.

Tips for Bajaj Dominar 250

You will spend a bomb on maintenance so be prepared.

Note - the Bajaj showroom gave the worst delivery to me it was like giving from service center I felt and one small default was there on bike and the dealers were arguing with us when we asked them to replace one thing in the bike but not providing good reply and replacing but still this bike is next level good like touring and you can ride for long no body you will get even in city. it's good but gear box make noise little and throttle response little late yeah, I think due to it's weight and yeah you will feel weight in taking out from parking.

Total fare review, Feel lots of vibration on 1st to 3rd gear. City mileage is 25 to 30 and on highway it's give max 35 km/l. Weird engine sound come while you release low accelerator. Heavy weight. No help got from service center, they can't do anything. Not a worth for 2 lakhs bike. Difficult to ride bike on high traffic even bullet can handle good in traffic. Low radius turning. Only thing is good is it's front and side look. Bike look heavy muscular from all three side but from back because of thin Tyre it's look dull. Feeling regret of not buying meteor 350 or KTM.

The bike is a power beast with comfort and balance. With slightly high budget you can have the best experience. I took it for a mountain ride and the experience was amazing. In no time we could touch 150kmph and the bike balance was amazing even at such high speed. For people who love bike trekking it is a wonderful option.

1)i bought bike in hospet their service is worst, not treated customers well they just told me to transfer money and that's all after receiving money they haven't cared looked to other customer my bike is been washed and handover me key by bike washing person they haven't told any suggestions regarding bike and it's like just take the key n get lost like feel. Whole bike I loved their service is worst bcz if you are paying lot of money you expect minimum care2) riding experience is awesome the power which it generates is just wow3)bike looks great i took canyon red it's awesome4) it's been just 2 weeks I took so I don't know but all other owner says around 1.5k-2kPros:its a beast bike ,looks, power, best suited for highway cruising, leds best in business Cons: weight is heavier but in highway cruising that weight helps bike in great balance, tyre would have been bigger especially rear tyre bcz of bike weight you will not get confidence on corner i feel in future they should go for 140 section tyre.

It's around 1,64,000 in my local bajaj showroom. As per the cost it is quite reasonable and the bajaj dominar 250 is premium looking bike. It is one of the smooth riding biker. And it contains 248.8cc liquid-cooled 4v dohc single-cylinder that sounds good and power 26.6 hp at 8500 rpm and performance is good as per my opinion and it gives around 36 km per litre and petrol tank capacity of 13 litres and bike weight of 180 kg and digital speedometer and great comfortable seating and we can feel better smooth experience when riding for long distance and looks good when riding too and servicing and maintenance in bajaj is a better experience and over all good and cool performance bike at the price point of 1.64 l .

Handling the bike is good even though the weight is on the heavier side. City handling and gear shifting are far too better than d400. It costs around rs.47k less than d400 in on-road price. Bike is getting heat when we rev the engine harder for longer distances but while driving i didn't felt the heat that much. Turning radius could have been better. I commute daily and go for long drives too. Seat is not as comfortable as i would've expected for long rides. Pillion doesn't have proper foot rest which i expected in saree guard and pillion sitting one sided will not be comfortable to hold the hand grab. Fuel level indicator and average mileage per trip would be useful which are not there. I don't mind the absence of gear position indicator. I'm 5ft9in taller and i have no difficulties with height of the vehicle. I could move the vehicle without any difficulty. But footrest will be disturbing if you are less than 5ft6in while moving the bike even though the footrest is foldable due to its position. Mirror view is too good. Moving the bike in lanes are too easy thanks to the smaller tyres when compared to d400. Mileage is not attractive but it's not bad either for this type of bike which is around 30 to 34kmpl based on the roads. Headlights are the best which is best in class in my point of view. Quality of plastics used are better when compared to yr15v3 which my cousin owns. The bumps are pretty obviously felt but it's not completely transferred to the body. Felt no body pain after long travel and city travel. Exhaust sound is louder but likeable. None of the cons made me to rethink from buying this bike because all are negligible and most commonly neglected. I'm not just tourer. I use the bike for city use mostly. Budget friendly. Road presence is good. My dad also felt that the bike is smooth. Congratulations friends for your new multipurpose bike under 2l.
