Reviews of Bajaj Dominar 400

The bike may be good in its segment but the dealership in Mumbai is worst. I had called atleast 5-6 dealers in Mumbai but none of them had a demo bike for test ride.what does it expect that a customer buys a 2 lakhs product without getting a test ride? I had even complaint Bajaj but they always had a template answer.I was looking forward to buy Dominar but looking at the dealership attitude I won't buy. Bajaj needs to work on the dealership network as this is going to affect the sales of the product.

About the Reviewer

After researching for over months, I decided to purchase the Dominar UG as my first ever motorbike. At first, it was like a dream come true. But things changed later. At 1100 kms, the cam shaft damaged and it took 23 days to get it repaired. 900 kms later, at 2000 kms, engine oil leaked as they had not installed the clutch side cover properly. The front portion of the body is extremely buzzy at certain rpms, killing all the mood for riding, and it's embarrassing too. Without a pillion, the rear seat buzzes too. Since 4000 kms odo, the meter is constantly displaying low oil pressure warning. Not to be forgotten, it's just 5000 kms, and 4 months yet. I visit the service center more than any other place. Okay, I understand bajaj has put efforts and created a beast, so there may be various shortcomings. I was ready for all. But what makes me regretful is the inability of bajaj to solve these issues.

About the Reviewer

I bought this bike at 2.9 l recently. The riding experience is awesome. The best budget bike you are gonna get in 400 cc segment. U will get a massive 400 cc engine powered with 40 bhp and 35 nm @ 6500 rpm it's a beast. The pickup even at higher gears is so good and it goes upto 170 kmph. The looks are average and not so great. The bike doesn’t look like a big bike but probably is because of the performance. Service maintenance is quite manageable. The mileage you are gonna get in the city is very low around 23 kmpl. But on the other side is quite good on the highway you get around 33 kmpl. If you want this bike for good touring it’s the perfect bike for you. The bike feels heavier and a little difficult to ride in traffic conditions because of the weight. But once you step on the highway you won’t feel it. The ground clearance is good and anyone above 5.5 can easily handle this bike.
Pros
Priced quite well
Comfortable for long rides
Cons
Low fuel efficiency in the city
Average looks
Vibrations at lower rpm.

About the Reviewer

It is good bike, and powerful performance, i really like this bike.And i enjoy it, i ride the bike in all over India. Good off road experience . 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 comfort 2 honda cbr250- lacked modern features, a little pricey 3. 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 power 4. Yamaha fz25 - decent bike, smooth engine,nothing to complaint about as such.

About the Reviewer

Had owned the previous gen dominar for a year before deciding to sell it off in anticipation for the 2019 model. Rode it for 12000 kms. Mainly used it for touring and the seldom weekend breakfast rides. Only one word comes to mind while reviewing the dominar - all rounder. Daily commute to office, weekend rides or even touring to ladakh and spiti as i found out was all within the grasp of a bike prices sub 2 lakhs. Fuel average ranges from between 25-30 depending on how hard you ride. Only qualm while offroading is the missing switchable abs which is required when you are traversing non asphalt surfaces. Ktm duke 390 would get the upper hand in this department. As it features the oh so desirable super moto mode and a futuristic tft screen that can put any superbike to shame. But then again with the dominar you get the big bike feel not found in any other bike in this segment and price range. So i definitely recommend it to someone who is looking to move a step up from the 150 cc segment.

About the Reviewer

I have seen beautiful places with my bike..12000kms in 6 months.. but also I have seen many service centers too. My bike refuses to be okay. Camshaft changed twice. Rockerarm changed twice. Shims replaced innumerable times. They finally installed new engine head but NOPE.. Engine head ticking noise still continues. It has been opened 6 times yet they can't solve the issue. Wherever you go they say the noise is just normal. Second the bike has ECU problem. It displays codes on the primary display when you turn on the ignition and every trip meter resets to 0. They replaced the primary as well as secondary console but NOPE won't get okay..
I admire the effort service center guys have put in but there is issue with Dominar UG and there's no denying to it. The skill of the service center guys in still doubtful but they are very helpful.
It is still a wonderful bike to ride but if I visit service center this often..there's no fun to it.

About the Reviewer

There is no testdrive available for this bike in trivandrum. I contacted pioneer Bajaj and Deedi Bajaj for a test drive and they told me that you have to book the vehicle for a test drive. That's not even fair. After that I enquired in person on both showrooms .Then also they didn't give me a test drive for this bike. Customer service is so bad.

This bike is absolutely loaded with power and within such affordable price ,it has been 50 days i have owned dominar 400 2019 edition and it has impressed and improved in every what way.

Great suspensions,good front brake bite,best headlights in 400cc segment,less vibrations than before ,at least 70% less,usd forks,no catalytic converter so exhaust node has improved. Cons: big turning radius,bike on heavier side,gear box is average makes a bit noise,rear breaking is soft.

About the Reviewer

Seemingly economical cost for 373cc engine category bikes. Comfortable riding even for long rides. It's a best in performance. Excellent services are provided are provided by the company. It has a low cost maintenance due to its built quality. It's built quality is awesome. The vibrations are more when u hit around 150 and above.
