Bad service from bajaj

Donald
Bike service center is poor and there is no expert mechanic for dominar 400. I get a engine complaint not cleared yet after 2nd service 4500 km. Good performance, Comfort ride for long distance. Should improve meter by giving bluetooth and navigation. Can give switchable abs and wants to change the mode settings also.

The Bajaj Dominar 400 is a great machine.It is made for long ride and touring on off roads.This machine is awesome in this price.I can say it is best bike ever.Maintenance cost is very low.And its looks is aggressive, looking hot.Sound of silencer is very good.I will rate 100 out of 100Because the feel of driving Dominar 400 is next level

The best entry level sport tourer
48 weeks ago
Krishnan
Being a regular tourer in rented RE bikes, i bought Dominar UG in 2019. It's been more than 4 years. I absolutely don't regret anything except the service experience. But rest everything from cost, performance, ride quality, highway stability is top notch for an entry level tourer. I have also retro fitted the accessories of the new touring edition. I have used for more than 20k kms now and done over 15 long tours. I have also been using it for city rides too, if there bumber to traffic or hit weather it might heat up a little. Also, compared to RE bikes the vibration at high speeds isn't much. In a nutshell If you are tight on budget and looking for a tourer (even if you are an occasional tourer) just go for it. You won't regret.

Cons are heavyweight and not as refined as Japanese motorcycle

Vikas
Buying experience and services are not that good but I'm reviewing the bike itself has everything you need for touring ..On the highway it's awesome but at low speed, it feels heavy. You need to maintain at least 3-liter fuel for smooth operation. Or you feel vibes on the handlebar and wrist... Don't buy if you use only city commuting...If your short heighted don't buy at least if you're 5.9" service is a cheap and low-maintenance motorcycle. But service centers are the worst. I have a very bad experience.

1. It's good not much to tell about buying experience.2. Excellent!!! especially for long rides. This is the best bike in India for touring with this much power at this price.When you give throttle the way it responds and the sound is awesome. It's fun to ride the bike on highways.3. Looks might look bold and old but when you look at engine specs everything is negligible.4. I had a very bad experience with servicing. I was unable to find a good bajaj showroom in Hyderabad, wherever i go i had a feeling like it's better don't give here. Bajaj should focus on improving service. You need to look at this bike as a child to enjoy the feel otherwise it's going to trouble you.5. Everything is ok but weight is a big problem in cities and if we can balance the weight throughout the bike it will be good.Never ever think about the mileage just enjoy the bike.

Long term bajaj dominar reviewr
3 years ago
Astitva Arora
After researching for long and test driving many bikes I finally booked dominar 400 in Ahmedabad. The booking process was very and test drive vehicle was available every time. Even before booking I test ride to confirm my decision. The waiting was about 20 days in my case. I brought this bike from gallops Bajaj. From booking to delivery everything went smooth. I got bike delivered in 2018 October. After bring home I noted that abs light didn't turn off even when bike is running. I went to Bajaj next day and they said it requires an ecu update and next day my bike was given back and now the problem was resolved. The bike performed really good and smooth. For first 1000 km's it was mentioned to not exceed 60 km's per hour. After 1st service this restrictions was removed. The service process was fast and first free service coasted me 1200 Rupee's. After the service I went to Jaisalmer with this bike and bike performed great even will pillion and fully loaded bags and everything. The bike glides at 100-110kmph. But between 5000-6000 rpm its vibrated a little too much specially on handle bar and pillion footrest. Every time i went to service it never coasted more than 1500 Rs. But as my bike crossed 20k km's . The bike needs some parts changes which will cost you around 10-15 thousand depending on parts. The complete chain sprocket needs to replace. Brake pads will be changed and filters etc. will be changed. All in all. My 2.5 years of bike and clocking over 20000 km's. I am very happy with bike and will recommend specially after 2019 update bike has improved a lot.

Absolutely Legendary !!

Sanju
First of all, I Am following Dominar from cs 400 concepts, its inspiring power delivery, throttle response, design, and aerodynamics... Makes it dominate the entire segment, especially since I love its seating position which is too comfortable. There are lots of pros which can be listed long, But I only find 2 cons: 1. Weight: Dominar 400 touring kerb weight comes to around 195kg (205kg plus with a full tank ) as am a bodybuilder I find it hard to push or pull the bike in some circumstances(especially while pulling backward) but it doesn't hinder performance plus its weight is an advantage while cruising because it has rock solid road grip 2. Instrumental cluster: The console is a bit outdated, today's 100cc scooter gets Bluetooth connectivity, a wireless key and many more features. The secondary console is utter waste no use of it. The information it provides is insufficient. Hope Bajaj will update in the future.

About best budget tourer
5 years ago
Yaseen
People how are looking for a budget friendly bike for touring this is the one for them. the main disadvantage and advantage of this bike is its weight due to its heaviness it stays in the road pretty well which is a good part as a tourer bike. but during filtering through tight traffic it might be a issue for some people.The gear position indicator can't use during riding but this bike is in 400cc segment which for experience riders. as a experience rider who need to look during riding. the new suspension setup is good compare to old one. The bike got more detailing than the older one and the bike it self says a touring bike but the tank size and fuel range is disappointed that is why many budget tours choose thunderbird. bajaj need to concentrate in build quality in older models there is an buzz sound feeling issue in some . But the engine is now we'll tuned but still we need to look those in long term review of owners.

First of all, I Am following Dominar from cs 400 concepts, its inspiring power delivery, throttle response, design, and aerodynamics... Makes it dominate the entire segment, especially since I love its seating position which is too comfortable. There are lots of pros which can be listed long, But I only find 2 cons: 1. Weight: Dominar 400 touring kerb weight comes to around 195kg (205kg plus with a full tank ) as am a bodybuilder I find it hard to push or pull the bike in some circumstances(especially while pulling backward) but it doesn't hinder performance plus its weight is an advantage while cruising because it has rock solid road grip 2. Instrumental cluster: The console is a bit outdated, today's 100cc scooter gets Bluetooth connectivity, a wireless key and many more features. The secondary console is utter waste no use of it. The information it provides is insufficient. Hope Bajaj will update in the future.

About best budget tourer
5 years ago
Yaseen
People how are looking for a budget friendly bike for touring this is the one for them. the main disadvantage and advantage of this bike is its weight due to its heaviness it stays in the road pretty well which is a good part as a tourer bike. but during filtering through tight traffic it might be a issue for some people.The gear position indicator can't use during riding but this bike is in 400cc segment which for experience riders. as a experience rider who need to look during riding. the new suspension setup is good compare to old one. The bike got more detailing than the older one and the bike it self says a touring bike but the tank size and fuel range is disappointed that is why many budget tours choose thunderbird. bajaj need to concentrate in build quality in older models there is an buzz sound feeling issue in some . But the engine is now we'll tuned but still we need to look those in long term review of owners.

Bad service from bajaj
4 years ago
Donald
Bike service center is poor and there is no expert mechanic for dominar 400. I get a engine complaint not cleared yet after 2nd service 4500 km. Good performance, Comfort ride for long distance. Should improve meter by giving bluetooth and navigation. Can give switchable abs and wants to change the mode settings also.

The Bajaj Dominar 400 is a great machine.It is made for long ride and touring on off roads.This machine is awesome in this price.I can say it is best bike ever.Maintenance cost is very low.And its looks is aggressive, looking hot.Sound of silencer is very good.I will rate 100 out of 100Because the feel of driving Dominar 400 is next level

The best entry level sport tourer
48 weeks ago
Krishnan
Being a regular tourer in rented RE bikes, i bought Dominar UG in 2019. It's been more than 4 years. I absolutely don't regret anything except the service experience. But rest everything from cost, performance, ride quality, highway stability is top notch for an entry level tourer. I have also retro fitted the accessories of the new touring edition. I have used for more than 20k kms now and done over 15 long tours. I have also been using it for city rides too, if there bumber to traffic or hit weather it might heat up a little. Also, compared to RE bikes the vibration at high speeds isn't much. In a nutshell If you are tight on budget and looking for a tourer (even if you are an occasional tourer) just go for it. You won't regret.

Maintain is properly, service regularly, lubricate chain every 500 kms and it will never let you down. Since it is a powerful bike don't forget to invest on your riding gears too (helmet, jacket, pant, boots and gloves).

It is best bike under this price range and has lot of power, It\s easily available in showroomsQuite heavier but easy to ride, decent looking bike. Looks are for a-one class people. The showroom guys are very good and not of high prices, it's heavier weight is the only con and every other thing is pros for this bike

Cons are heavyweight and not as refined as Japanese motorcycle
1 year ago
Vikas
Buying experience and services are not that good but I'm reviewing the bike itself has everything you need for touring ..On the highway it's awesome but at low speed, it feels heavy. You need to maintain at least 3-liter fuel for smooth operation. Or you feel vibes on the handlebar and wrist... Don't buy if you use only city commuting...If your short heighted don't buy at least if you're 5.9" service is a cheap and low-maintenance motorcycle. But service centers are the worst. I have a very bad experience.

1. It's good not much to tell about buying experience.2. Excellent!!! especially for long rides. This is the best bike in India for touring with this much power at this price.When you give throttle the way it responds and the sound is awesome. It's fun to ride the bike on highways.3. Looks might look bold and old but when you look at engine specs everything is negligible.4. I had a very bad experience with servicing. I was unable to find a good bajaj showroom in Hyderabad, wherever i go i had a feeling like it's better don't give here. Bajaj should focus on improving service. You need to look at this bike as a child to enjoy the feel otherwise it's going to trouble you.5. Everything is ok but weight is a big problem in cities and if we can balance the weight throughout the bike it will be good.Never ever think about the mileage just enjoy the bike.

Long term bajaj dominar reviewr
3 years ago
Astitva Arora
After researching for long and test driving many bikes I finally booked dominar 400 in Ahmedabad. The booking process was very and test drive vehicle was available every time. Even before booking I test ride to confirm my decision. The waiting was about 20 days in my case. I brought this bike from gallops Bajaj. From booking to delivery everything went smooth. I got bike delivered in 2018 October. After bring home I noted that abs light didn't turn off even when bike is running. I went to Bajaj next day and they said it requires an ecu update and next day my bike was given back and now the problem was resolved. The bike performed really good and smooth. For first 1000 km's it was mentioned to not exceed 60 km's per hour. After 1st service this restrictions was removed. The service process was fast and first free service coasted me 1200 Rupee's. After the service I went to Jaisalmer with this bike and bike performed great even will pillion and fully loaded bags and everything. The bike glides at 100-110kmph. But between 5000-6000 rpm its vibrated a little too much specially on handle bar and pillion footrest. Every time i went to service it never coasted more than 1500 Rs. But as my bike crossed 20k km's . The bike needs some parts changes which will cost you around 10-15 thousand depending on parts. The complete chain sprocket needs to replace. Brake pads will be changed and filters etc. will be changed. All in all. My 2.5 years of bike and clocking over 20000 km's. I am very happy with bike and will recommend specially after 2019 update bike has improved a lot.
