User Review of Dominar 400 by Vipul

Her name "DOMINAR" is enough because she craves for Dominian, not for a proportion. Well said by Bajaj " Let's Dominate the Nine Realms".

The purchasing experience was good, the salesperson treated me well and brilliantly explained the bike. Value for money, because its cheap and best in 400cc segment provided with high power of 40 PS, torque of 27 Nm, high-end electrical functions, and all other basic specifications and features
When it comes to the riding experience, I must say it's fabulous, take it to any road or no road she delivers her best. Provides comfort to the rider and also the riding position is best than the rest of other bikes, and also provides comfort to the pillion regardless of speed, bike position in running, high acceleration, etc. This bike is also known as a sports tourer as it delivers very high power and torque, which makes it far much better than any of the bikes upto 400cc except KTM 390cc bikes.
(FYI, Dominar 400 is not a track-ready bike it comes under the category of naked sports, so there is no point of comparing it with fairing body type bikes such as RC390, RR310, CBR250, R1, BMW RR310 or above).
When it comes to looks, she is just like fire, burning up the ways. People get attracted to her muscular body at just a single glance. Of course, she is a head-turner.
Performance, as I have already mentioned above she is the best in 400cc segment (top in Indian manufactured brands). It has been a year now I am riding this bike and have ridden this bike at top speed of 172, she was very stable and she can go max upto 180 on road and 195 on dyno machine. I have encountered severe situations where I had to apply panic braking at high speed, she was always my best friend during those situations and never disappointed me, breaking system of this bike is fabulous, and the dual channel ABS works the best to date. If you are good at handling, then you can control this bike as per your skills at any speed and in any position. This bike can be ridden on any kind of road as it provides comfort and the best shock-absorbing suspension.
PFB, Speed/gear pattern:-
1st - 55 to 60
2nd - 60 to 95
3rd - upto 115
4th - upto 130
5th - upto 155
6th - 155 to 180
Definitely depending on the condition of the bike.

Tips for Bajaj Dominar 400

Follow as per the company guidelines, do get serviced on time. She will survive more than 15 years. Few tips I would like to share:- Always fuel up with extra premium petrol only (Speed, Power, etc as per availability). Always use 4 stroke Motul 7100 T engine oil at intervals of 2000 kms (much better if you can get 7200 T which is rarely available). Please do not use bajaj brand engine oil, even bajaj recommends Motul. Always get the chain cleaned and lubed at intervals of 250-300 kms. Do check whether the chain is tight or not, because it keeps getting loosened a bit at every 500 kms. The clutch should be tight as much as the bike starts marching when you release the clutch max to an inch from the handle. Maintain tyre pressure regularly - front 30, rear 40. Keep your bike always clean and all screws tightly screwed up for better performance.

    Best comfortable bike ever. Mileage will depend upon your riding, I get 25-30 average speed of 60-70 . Low maintenance, low service cost, and of course now any other bike can compete in this price range. And some disadvantages are: sometimes you will get a mileage of 20 . Low ground clearance, at some village areas, your engine protector will in contact to the speed breaker. A bit heavyweight. A bit difficult tu turn this hulk..

  • A very good upgrade, with few niggles

    1 week ago


    Bharanidaran R

    I don't think I can saying anything new in this bike that the world doesn't know. But let me try
    Confidence inspiring: A lot of people talk about weight being a -ve, and it is, however when you hit the highway, if you are like me coming from 150cc, this bike will give you so much confidence, it got the ergonomics right and the suspension absorbing small-medium potholes, it is just so easy to ride. I don't think any 400 CC bike (a couple of years ago) would compete with this on that. Either they are too aggressive like Dukes or very tame like the REs
    Certainly a looker: This could be subjective, however when I compare the styling with others in this segment, it certainly looks really cool and this is something i have heard from people around us. When travelling with my friends in ADV 390, REs, Domi always stands out, that is a feel-good factor in buying this machine
    Comfort: Whenever the talks about Domi, the statements start with weight/vibrations and end with the engine. However, comfort according to me is more important than the former. I can say i felt extremely comfortable riding long in this bike. It revs hard and absorbs undulations so well that you forget you are riding on bad roads, its only when we stop for a tea break other riders complain about how poor and horrible the ride as you realize that you are driving a superior machine. This is also due to the better seats available in the bike, At first i felt the seats were hard, however after many rides i understood the need for high-density foam and how thankful my bums feel after a day out
    These are pointers from my ownership and glad to say i made the right choice, there are so many motoring channels that don't speak of Dominar but they always come back to vibrations, take a test ride for at least 25 kms if possible and then decide. Just remember there is no perfect bike, it only depends on what you want from it and does it delivers that to your satisfaction, Opinions can be from anyone but decisions must be based on your satisfaction and happiness and nothing else. After all, if you don't get what you love, why at all?

    Lube inside and out every 500 KMs, start your bike daily and check thoroughly. Maintain air pressure as per the manufacturer. Don't put raisers, air cushions in first 3K kms, test your bike and change your style first and then make upgrades based on need only.

    It is just best in its segment
    The 373cc liquid-cooled engine just revs revs and revs!!
    The USDs and mono at the rear just give tons, tons, and tons of feedback
    Also, the service connection of Bajaj is just insane
    Even if it crosses the price bracket of 2,80,000 it will still be my favorite always

    This is one of the best bikes when it comes to touring, especially Highway rides are smooth and reliable. It could be considered for long rides and daily content videos. Its pricing is also competitive. It fulfils touring as well as sporting desires. If you are confused between a good torque sporty bike like KTM and cruisers like Yezdi, Royal Enfield, honda hness 350 or cb 350 then you can go with this machine as it will fulfil you both desire Also you can keep your card in drag races. Be careful if you are searching for all this with good mileage as claimed by the company it is 27 kmpl but it offers only a maximum 25 kmpl also the weight distribution of the bike is flaw somewhere which will be felt after you will have control over your bike.

  • Dominar 400 My Love Machine

    10 weeks ago


    Vivek Verma

    Amazed with the assistance and guidance rendered by the Bajaj while taking delivery of my bike. They truly deserve applause. The bike is a beast and exceeds anyone's expectations. Ride quality, comfort, power, style and confidence which Dominar 400 gives is unparallel to any other available option. Maintenance is easy with a wide range of service centres available. However, Bajaj now must provide a centre stand, a gear shift indicator on the main panel, and hazard lights. The inclusion of these features will further strengthen its stand. I suggest riders should go for this bike as it is a complete bike in comparison to all available options in the market.

    It was love at first sight with the Dominar after I rode my friend’s bike in 2018. Finally bought the BS6 tourer in 2023 that was readily available with the dealership and took delivery after 2 days. Needed a day to get used to it but once I had control, it was an amazing feeling with me falling more in love with it the more I saw and rode it. Have been on long rides (3800 Kms) and the bike just goes on and on without complaining. The only challenge I have is in terms of service as not many knowledgeable techs are available in Bajaj and the oil used isn’t great for the bike.

    Oil change can wait for 10k kms after 2nd service but recommend Motul and getting the bike serviced at a premium bike service centre post the free service duration expires for your ride experience to be worth it.

    One of the key selling points of the Dominar 400 is its affordability compared to other bikes in its segment, offering a good balance of performance, features, and price. It competes well with its rivals in terms of specifications and features while being relatively more budget-friendly. I love this bike very much.

    Amazing tourer for interstate travel. Leave if you prefer offroad tracks and choose other options. E20 models have fewer issues compared to the previous generation. Use Full Synthetic oil for engine life. Motul or Addinol 1.7 lts required so you have to buy 2ltrs. U can also use KTM Parts like brake pads if you are looking for ceramic and all I'd prefer Vesrah brake pads.

    Anand Raj

    This machine is good for touring and city rides. Dominar is a beast in his category at this price point. It has some cons like its heavy weight and braking. Bajaj will take some time to make it perfect but it is good for new bikers and it feels comfortable when you ride it in heels, the engine is much stronger so you don't need to worry about power or initial pickup.

It competes well with its rivals in terms of specifications and features while being relatively more budget-friendly. I love this bike very much.

    Amazing tourer for interstate travel. Leave if you prefer offroad tracks and choose other options. E20 models have fewer issues compared to the previous generation. Use Full Synthetic oil for engine life. Motul or Addinol 1.7 lts required so you have to buy 2ltrs. U can also use KTM Parts like brake pads if you are looking for ceramic and all I'd prefer Vesrah brake pads.

    This machine is good for touring and city rides. Dominar is a beast in his category at this price point. It has some cons like its heavy weight and braking. Bajaj will take some time to make it perfect but it is good for new bikers and it feels comfortable when you ride it in heels, the engine is much stronger so you don't need to worry about power or initial pickup.

    Best comfortable bike ever. Mileage will depend upon your riding, I get 25-30 average speed of 60-70 . Low maintenance, low service cost, and of course now any other bike can compete in this price range. And some disadvantages are: sometimes you will get a mileage of 20 . Low ground clearance, at some village areas, your engine protector will in contact to the speed breaker. A bit heavyweight. A bit difficult tu turn this hulk..

  • A very good upgrade, with few niggles

    1 week ago


    Bharanidaran R

    I don't think I can saying anything new in this bike that the world doesn't know. But let me try
    Confidence inspiring: A lot of people talk about weight being a -ve, and it is, however when you hit the highway, if you are like me coming from 150cc, this bike will give you so much confidence, it got the ergonomics right and the suspension absorbing small-medium potholes, it is just so easy to ride. I don't think any 400 CC bike (a couple of years ago) would compete with this on that. Either they are too aggressive like Dukes or very tame like the REs
    Certainly a looker: This could be subjective, however when I compare the styling with others in this segment, it certainly looks really cool and this is something i have heard from people around us. When travelling with my friends in ADV 390, REs, Domi always stands out, that is a feel-good factor in buying this machine
    Comfort: Whenever the talks about Domi, the statements start with weight/vibrations and end with the engine. However, comfort according to me is more important than the former. I can say i felt extremely comfortable riding long in this bike. It revs hard and absorbs undulations so well that you forget you are riding on bad roads, its only when we stop for a tea break other riders complain about how poor and horrible the ride as you realize that you are driving a superior machine. This is also due to the better seats available in the bike, At first i felt the seats were hard, however after many rides i understood the need for high-density foam and how thankful my bums feel after a day out
    These are pointers from my ownership and glad to say i made the right choice, there are so many motoring channels that don't speak of Dominar but they always come back to vibrations, take a test ride for at least 25 kms if possible and then decide. Just remember there is no perfect bike, it only depends on what you want from it and does it delivers that to your satisfaction, Opinions can be from anyone but decisions must be based on your satisfaction and happiness and nothing else. After all, if you don't get what you love, why at all?

    It is just best in its segment
    The 373cc liquid-cooled engine just revs revs and revs!!
    The USDs and mono at the rear just give tons, tons, and tons of feedback
    Also, the service connection of Bajaj is just insane
    Even if it crosses the price bracket of 2,80,000 it will still be my favorite always

    This is one of the best bikes when it comes to touring, especially Highway rides are smooth and reliable. It could be considered for long rides and daily content videos. Its pricing is also competitive. It fulfils touring as well as sporting desires. If you are confused between a good torque sporty bike like KTM and cruisers like Yezdi, Royal Enfield, honda hness 350 or cb 350 then you can go with this machine as it will fulfil you both desire Also you can keep your card in drag races. Be careful if you are searching for all this with good mileage as claimed by the company it is 27 kmpl but it offers only a maximum 25 kmpl also the weight distribution of the bike is flaw somewhere which will be felt after you will have control over your bike.

  • Dominar 400 My Love Machine

    10 weeks ago


    Vivek Verma

    Amazed with the assistance and guidance rendered by the Bajaj while taking delivery of my bike. They truly deserve applause. The bike is a beast and exceeds anyone's expectations. Ride quality, comfort, power, style and confidence which Dominar 400 gives is unparallel to any other available option. Maintenance is easy with a wide range of service centres available. However, Bajaj now must provide a centre stand, a gear shift indicator on the main panel, and hazard lights. The inclusion of these features will further strengthen its stand. I suggest riders should go for this bike as it is a complete bike in comparison to all available options in the market.

    It was love at first sight with the Dominar after I rode my friend’s bike in 2018. Finally bought the BS6 tourer in 2023 that was readily available with the dealership and took delivery after 2 days. Needed a day to get used to it but once I had control, it was an amazing feeling with me falling more in love with it the more I saw and rode it. Have been on long rides (3800 Kms) and the bike just goes on and on without complaining. The only challenge I have is in terms of service as not many knowledgeable techs are available in Bajaj and the oil used isn’t great for the bike.

  • Bajaj Dominar 400

    This machine is good for touring and city rides. Dominar is a beast in his category at this price point. It has some cons like its heavy weight and braking. Bajaj will take some time to make it perfect but it is good for new bikers and it feels comfortable when you ride it in heels, the engine is much stronger so you don't need to worry about power or initial pickup.
