vikash bhai, regarding the height, yes its a little tall bike ask me I am 5.4, but bhai u get used to the height... despite of my lower height I can easily manage the versys too... and high vehicles r more comfortable on highways too..
Nice Video and appreciate both(Vikas and Bulu) of your work on bringing informative videos. I purchased Dominar 400 on Jan 15th and I do feel the tip towing is a issue in traffic situation. I wanna know from you both, Is there a way to adjust the height of the bike. I am 5.6". Also, I think the rear braking could have been better but front I think is fine but agree with Vikas, I don't feel the bite in brakes.
tarun verma even I go with dominar because it has only one con that are brakes as one my friend's brother works in Bajaj and one minor which doesn't bother many owners that's fuel capacity! and he also said take abs as it's useless for daily commuting Bajaj is. just cashing over abs it's only used in race track! but in this review he's bluffing! -.- and never believe vedios which says review, full review etc shit!! it's the best bike you will ever get in as low as 1.57L on road(Hyderabad)
+Santosh Siva Vikas has already said in several previous videos that the Dominar is a great bike and no doubt excellent value for money. However, that doesn't mean a product is devoid of any flaws. Every bike comes with flaws and sometimes it is good to be aware of what they are. Now let me give you some advice: your friend's brother is full of shit buddy abs is not meant for racing infact on such bikes people tend to turn off the abs on the track. Learn and understand what ABS is before saying such horseshit
now a twist came up...!! there's accident occurred first accident of dominar 400 in India and this causes a hole in the engine!!! its this is scary I mean how many times u saw sm1 got accident and suddenly a hole in the engine this news completely change my views for dominar nd I thing I should go with my 1st choice that is Honda CBR 250r at least this is reliable!!!!
tarun verma brotha it depends on how well you ride😂 .. i mean if you get in an accident and your engine hits a pole or something hard it's gonna get a hole ...I've even seen a 390 get a hole in the engine. they're not made out of vibranium you see ..
These are my feedback after riding Dominar for 2 3 times. Dominar is 'budget mein sub kuch' type of bike. So it's not at all a touring bike, yes it goes faster but I feel it's simply a street bike with good engine. Also build quality is sacrificed for budget friendly pricing. So people who are actually looking for serious touring don't go for this, wait for bikes like BMW 310gs and other upcoming touring bikes or if you don't care about speed then you have Himalayan. Dominar is ok for casual touring, impressing your girlfriend or usual daily commute. Ride safe! :)
I have ride mojo. it's sounds like a 600cc sport bike. dual exhausts are great. speed is good, you can tour with an avg of 135kmph, engine is more refined and richer than doninar. both of the seats are very comfy. low seat height makes you.more closer to ground and feels really gr8. handle is light. don't feel any pressure. head light quality is also great on night. tyres are very good. very good grips yeah but you still have an old school tachometer and so on. don't like the tail section. I think Mojo is better than Dominar in most cases.
Akash Baran Maji but buddy the Mojo has the worst brakes, the rear brake always locks all the time all my Mojo friends have crashed because of the brakes... plus mojos suspension is stiffer... dual exhaust is unnecessarily adding more weight to the bike. seats are also very soft so quite uncomfortable for long ride... pillion seats r the worst, its even smaller then the dukes seat.
hey buddy, i have a solution for the plastic tank and wanting to Put tank bag. Just open up the plastic Tank and stick magnets at appropriate locations. Have done that to my FZ. And i feel that the issue of Not having Temperature gauge is kinda Nit picking. I have it in my Car and i have never ever looked at. As a Matter of fact i have have kinda miss took it for Fuel Gauge (in i20 both are side by side in the digital display) and i have always wanted Just a small warning light to let me know that engine is over heating. Being liquid cooled am sure that would never happen while riding in our routine day to day life. ANd yes i agree with you that a Gear shift indicator to tell which gear we are in would have been highly welcomed. Also the trip computer that would tell us distance to empty. Hope Dominar 2.0 has that
I can't afford to Buy another bike since I just Bought one few months back but woah this is such a Amazing bike for the price cheers who bought this bike have fun.
The most important point missed in this video is about not having a central stand in this bike as it is heavy bike the chances of falling down is high if parked in side stand on loose ground and also difficulty in removing rear and front tires during punctures.
I have completed 1000 km on it.. I'm short guy... Whatever you said I'm agree with that.... I realy love the bike.. But I can't use it for daily purposes... Because Bangalore traffic... & im short.... Bajaj should really take initiative for making seat bit shorter.... Im 5.4" tall 😊
finally after so much praise good to hear criticism :P . I too took test ride yesterday and agree with all ur pros and cons. for styling and looks I still prefer Duke though 😎
Great video Vikas sir! I couldn't help but notice that you did not mention the fuel tank capacity as a con, in my opinion the capacity should have been more, given that this bike is marketed as a touring motorcycle. I would like to know your thoughts on that.
Vikas loves to tour, and his points are valid from the perspective of touring (for the most part). Problem is, people buying the Dominar, given its low price, will mostly squid around.
I don't think so . I'm sure about it wait and watch .People are not fans of bajaj .They either go for ktm duke 200 or rc 200 or like I said yamaha or bullet.I stay in mangalore,trust me we have lot of squids here taking R15 , bullets and especially RC200.I'm talking about my hometown ,not sure about the rest of India .
Sid Con but shockingly no squids buy a dominar. that's what I noticed. only seen serious or mature riders buying and riding a dominar. squids yes they prefer the NS and rs200 Or even the duke 200 to squid and shit around on the street. and how can we forget the chhapri bike 220 pulsar 😂 famous with squids
Thank you for the video. Well I will argue. Firstly nobody will complain anything about Dominar if they are really a bike enthusiast because it worth every penny spend. Brake: let’s take the weight of the bike you know how much it is, one brake cannot bite so use both at same time and it will work. Engine temperature indicator, when your bike rev limiter kicks in at 4000 rpm when engine is about to over heat, what indicator you even asking for? If we take the price to narrative and compare with other bikes anyone must be happy and be thankful to Bajaj made in India made for Indians.
Shakib Ahsan Obviously ri8 bro u cant get a super bike in 1.4 , i think it's d bst in this price no other can provide so much facilities in this price tag
First of all thank you bro for doing the cons video for bajaj Dominar 400 because I found only pros video for this bike.Secondly I love your reviews because you do them very keenly.Love your motovlogs bro!!!
I just rode Dominar 400 today (chennai) it was actually mind blowing but as you said in the video the brakes doesn't give a confidence while riding at high speeds I have a plan of buying this bike but there are two other options in my list i.e Thunder bird 350 and Yamaha r3 so can you please suggest a few reason which out-stands the other two when compared with dominar
Vikas hi Very well observations A quick suggestion I plan to buy a bike Duke 390 or Dominor or avenger I need to drive Only on bangslore city roads 40 Km per day
plz.. some1 has thought about tall riders also... every damn bike in India is kinda ment for short guys. Im really happy with this bike. specially ride position. . short guys may buy an Avenger or R15.. chao. ✌ peace 🍑
most of the points are rectified like now we have the gear indicator and clock on the primary and secondary display, the bike doesn't vibrate, the power is better although the tank is still tiny at 13ltrs, the tank panels are fibre, the bike still weighs quite a lot and so on
Dominar owner here. Rode to Pune in 14 hours. Jaipur in 39 hours. Agreed on the mirrors and the braking. High seat height. Bro it is adjustable. I am 5ft 6in and I reduced the seat height by 2 units and now the baby handles like a dream. Not like a Ducati though. I also find the light pretty weak on highways at night-time. But my tours were accident free. Gear shift indicator? C'mon man. I change my gear by the front of the engine. And that how I love it. I also own a 2006 pulsar 180 in which I toured entire north east so the gut instinct comes from there. Engine does get hot which I feel in my daily commute but on the highway this beast is smooth. Comparing Dominar to RE and Dukes makes no sense. This bike is in a different segment altogether. The closet call would be Mahindra Mojo. Plastic tank is again fine but I do wish for a greater tank size. Saddles bags have not given me any trouble despite being short in height. But yeah. In love with this machine through and through. I wanted a good mid weight bike that can take me places and should not have the alphabets RE.
the 2019 model is awesome and worth every penny. although it comes with it's set of issues as a manufacturing defect. bajaj although are rectifying the issues and have helped me do so also but then yes there are many issues that exist in this 2019 model
this bike is less costlier than the duke 200,,and packs a lot of goods for that amazing price tag bajaj has put on it,, the cons u pointed out like the trip computer and the shift indicator,,will only increase the price of the bike,,, if u want all that just go for or smthg costlier ,,, this bike is really worth the money and a good option for buyers with low budget,, bajaj did an awesome job on the pricing of the bike,, and with the bike too,, these points doesnt mean shit,, for a bike which gives this much and that too for an awesome price tag,,, :/
EBC released Brake pads for dominar for 2899Rs.Before you go to EBC you can consider ASK Disc pads same for UG4 pulsar series.its Around 130Rs Its sound like very cheap,But its doing great job.Not so durable but its better than stock pads.Am using its better.EBC good option and its copper alloy sintered best option,ASK is coarse Semi type.
vikas are you a true biker,if yes question yourself plz. why the hell are you comparing KTM to Dominar?? KTM have this Dominar doesn't. KTM have that Dominar doesn't. what the hell man. Dominar have its own specs okay. tell the points which hate but don't compare them and begin the rivals.
@@somrawat4280 but now they nearly do 🙂 there's hardly a price difference in 2020. the duke 390 costs 2.58 ex showroom and the dominar 2.25 ex showroom
I've heard that if the fuel indicator has zero bars, you might have a good 3 liter fuel it just doesn't show up because it's the minimum requirement fuel cause of Fuel Injection.
buddy, if you are a serious tourer, then these are actually very big problems... and by touring i mean 600 to 750 km a day... however you will not feel these problems much when you are riding 150 or 200 km in one day...
Bro you are amaz every time you make best video ..thanks for reviewing on every bike what you it really helps a lot of people.evert time I suggest you video to friend a lot.. thanks you..cherzzz bro
I think there are some good pointers here along with supportive logic to it. Well, it's never going to be a complete wholesome package, requirements along with costs will always differ from rider to rider.. And honestly you should always compare apples to apples.. All in all informative..
for this price tag, bajaj had given more than enough features. In my opinion, this is the best vfm bike available now and my next ride will be this( currently i ride enfield desert storm 500).
Thanks for the review. Wish you could have the bike on main stand for better visibility of bike.... specially while explaining the ride height. Rest all good.
indeed true 😌 but considering the fact that it is a valueformoney bike...those features doesn't stand a chance...but still i agree with the mirror height problem...👍 overall its an awesome video...thnx :)
It's a bike of its own character. Comparing other doesn't make any sense. If you have the budget, just go for it. Tank capacity is a good one that I agree for touring. Rest everything need to adjust accordingly as per individual driving.
Things discussed here maybe good point for other riders. Dominar is like keeping technology subtle.. these 8 points are the perks of having a dominar400
Bro, I too use Dominar 400 ABS FEB 2018 Model. If they have given mental tank and if you start using Magnetic Bags it may damage the instruments on TANK because of Magnetic Field...
you can use a non magnetic tank bag like the road gods zeon r1. single click of a belt you can refuel.,Bajaj was careless in the case of pulsar 220f when it comes to rear view mirrors
I have seen soo many youtube reviews about this bike - reviews from bike owners and company ), read articles about this and among the points, you have mentioned like - plastic fuel tank, rare view mirrors, consol trip indicators etc, around 99% have the exact same problem or complaints about this bike. Also, it has vibrations on high speeds. So its kinda nice that you folks give your time and energy to give the proper review as well as share your experience with this bike which in turn help to make a conscience about this bike, but is Bajaj really listening to the consumer's complaints ?? or turning a blind eye !! coz if they would be listening to these complaints then I am sure by now they would had incorporated changes as per consumer likes. :-) , anyways good review.
hai Vikas this is anoop. Thanks for your efforts to learn others about a new vehicle. I have some questions to ask you? I would like to buy a new bike, but I am confused which one is suitable for me. 3 bikes are in my mind, dominar, classic 350 and Electra 350. now I have a pulsar 180 having 7 years of age. I have ridden almost 56800kms. I have a 3members family. we always travel in my pulsar. now a days I have some back pain problem and performance of my bike is unsatisfactory. power become less. and no riding comfort and back pain. I am not a harsh driver. I always ride with a speed of 50 km. quite few times 70....but I love to ride power ful bikes of bajaj. now I am getting a mileage of 54 I need to know whether I select dominar 1)whether I get a mileage of 40km with my riding speed. 2) riding comfort or both rider and pillon seat. which are suitable for ladies both in single side and double side. 3)seat has a length of 3 people sitting.2 elder and a kid. 4)shall we replace its horn with a pair of pulsar horn. I need to get an answer of all these. read carefully. and give me a best reply. thankyou....."
this is the kind of review you are known for. The 2017 Duke 390 review was Informative but the way you presented it was a bit childish and out of your character. You are a mature rider who is very well informed about mechanicals. I don't think you need to act like a overenthusiastic teenage rider to attract potential subscribers. I hope you don't mind what I said, it was just a thought that came to my mind. Been following you since 2015, and just love your informative videos
it's really helpful review for some one like me who's looking for a 400-600cc motorbike, i have got one doubt while watching this review, u talked about after market brake pads, which brake pads will u recommend for RC200, the stock has the initial bite around 6-8 months after that feels like it's fading even i changed the pads 2 times in SVC, and some of my friends said that it's bcoz of metz tyres, it's sticky and smooth that's y am not feeling the bite but personally am not feeling the stopping power and initial bite which i felt 3 years back.
lesser the electronic sensors lesser the hassle as bajaj may not be the ideal brand to rely on with electronics as they focus on cutting the cost which includes cutting down quality too....seriously my opinion though.
hello vikas sir.. i need a seggestion.. i am 24 years old n i have a pulsar 220 2015 edtion... that is my daily as well as long ride companion.. now i want a different long ride bike... i am confused between dominar and duke 250.. which one should i go for???? help me out...
At that price it's the best offering from Bajaj... I think no manufacturer in the world can provide the same at that price...Indian manufacturers are really great in that perspective...
I brought this bike on Jan 25 2017. And i can say it is accurate! Clocked 1200+KM Yes.. When bike sitting on stand it will show a different reading! but after sometime it will show correct reading (When you start riding). So i think the angle of Bike does matter. If bike is not sitting on stand it will show correct reading.
Nicely presented man much appreciated.. 1 Query..I have seen In one review video of the same bike that the Owner describes that the gear downshift is not quick. He has to Clutch & down shift in on every gear to bring it to the first gear. e.g. The owner was riding on 5th gear & suddenly he has to slow cause speed breaker or a Sudden potholes so normally we downshift the gears by holding Clutch & then Shift shift shift shift. But he describes that u have to Clutch-downshift, Clutch-downshift till 1st gear if you are slowing down suddenly.. Whats your comment on this, do u ever have to do this?
The tank bag on an old enfield i had here.. It had a zipper that opens the lowest section which simply has a hole for the petrol filler😁.. So no problem
hi vikas, I'm 5ft 6inch and I'm facing the tip toe issue while dragging back my Dominar from parking lots, can we lower the seat height by adjusting the mono suspension of the bike. My friend who's an FZ version 2 user has changed the suspension settings and the seat height was comfortable for me. Can we do the same in Dominar?
Bhai 2017 mere pas he roj roj use karta hu 20 jada bar utartahu bethtahu ghar pas roj use kartahu or long bhi bohat chali 40000km chalali, time to time oil pani karaw koi problem nahi fire he bike 1 number he chalanewa thakjai bike nahi thakti long drive me bhi
vikash bhai, regarding the height, yes its a little tall bike ask me I am 5.4, but bhai u get used to the height... despite of my lower height I can easily manage the versys too... and high vehicles r more comfortable on highways too..
+Bulu Biker Thanks for your feedback bro.
Nice Video and appreciate both(Vikas and Bulu) of your work on bringing informative videos. I purchased Dominar 400 on Jan 15th and I do feel the tip towing is a issue in traffic situation. I wanna know from you both, Is there a way to adjust the height of the bike. I am 5.6".
Also, I think the rear braking could have been better but front I think is fine but agree with Vikas, I don't feel the bite in brakes.
Vikas ji can u please tell that domminor is good tourer
If Bulu biker comments. There has to be a like.
Bulu Biker I am 5.5 can I ride it?
I think after hearing all this cons I still go with dominar because truly thts value for money bike...
tarun verma even I go with dominar because it has only one con that are brakes as one my friend's brother works in Bajaj and one minor which doesn't bother many owners that's fuel capacity! and he also said take abs as it's useless for daily commuting Bajaj is. just cashing over abs it's only used in race track!
but in this review he's bluffing! -.- and never believe vedios which says review, full review etc shit!! it's the best bike you will ever get in as low as 1.57L on road(Hyderabad)

No.4 isn't really a problem. Not everyone is gonna place bag in the tank. I prefer carrying bag at the back.
he clearly said those who would tour , they would place bag on tank....as touring guys have more bags .........sun pehele

Nice video as always.... A suggestion though... Could you use the cam without mounting it on helmet when you are not riding
Gurinderjit Singh LOL!

Mahindra Mojo is also a very nice touring bike buddy...
Subhadip Dutta yes of course Mojo too!
How is Mojo a better tourer than Dominar ? Except the fuel tank.
I have ride mojo. it's sounds like a 600cc sport bike. dual exhausts are great. speed is good, you can tour with an avg of 135kmph,
engine is more refined and richer than doninar. both of the seats are very comfy. low seat height makes you.more closer to ground and feels really gr8.

ANd yes i agree with you that a Gear shift indicator to tell which gear we are in would have been highly welcomed. Also the trip computer that would tell us distance to empty. Hope Dominar 2.0 has that
Gear Shift indicator is a deal breaker for me. I will wait for Dominar 400 2.0 or Pulsar RS400. Whichever's first.
Do you own a FZ V2.0...the 150 cc one ?
I can't afford to Buy another bike since I just Bought one few months back but woah this is such a Amazing bike for the price cheers who bought this bike have fun.
Arjun Dhillon which bike u bought

The most important point missed in this video is about not having a central stand in this bike as it is heavy bike the chances of falling down is high if parked in side stand on loose ground and also difficulty in removing rear and front tires during punctures.

finally after so much praise good to hear criticism :P . I too took test ride yesterday and agree with all ur pros and cons. for styling and looks I still prefer Duke though 😎
You are right bro there should be gear shift indicator especially in the bike which have 6 gears which is difficult to remember during riding
Gear shift indicator is a must for me.
All the things are fixed in dominar 2019 ug
Please do check it..... ❤️
I agree on issues like brake pads & mirrors; M/s. Bajaj Auto Ltd, should take note of same
Great video Vikas sir!

First of all thank you bro for doing the cons video for bajaj Dominar 400 because I found only pros video for this bike.Secondly I love your reviews because you do them very keenly.Love your motovlogs bro!!!
vikas all your videos are superb! keep going. I am a beginner level rider. All your videos help and are easy to understand.
I just rode Dominar 400 today (chennai)
it was actually mind blowing but as you said in the video the brakes doesn't give a confidence while riding at high speeds
I have a plan of buying this bike but there are two other options in my list i.e Thunder bird 350 and Yamaha r3
so can you please suggest a few reason which out-stands the other two when compared with dominar
Hi bro, I agree to your justification and would add the fact that the indicators are meagre and so timidly small to dominate.
Vikas hi
Very well observations
A quick suggestion
I plan to buy a bike
Duke 390 or Dominor or avenger
I need to drive Only on bangslore city roads 40 Km per day
plz.. some1 has thought about tall riders also... every damn bike in India is kinda ment for short guys. Im really happy with this bike. specially ride position. . short guys may buy an Avenger or R15.. chao. ✌ peace 🍑
At 3:00 i guess the Dominar's engine does not heat up so Bajaj thought why to include a feature which the bike won't be facing issues with.
Very well. Nicely put across. Although the points are not deal breakers, but put into perspective, the points are worth mentioning. Good job.
Problem no2 is not just fine as there is a vast difference between ktm and dominor
Good observations Vikas....practical issues highlighted...cheers!
man at these what do want man
I think u need reshika
good milage power tank pad awesome magnet
most of the points are rectified like now we have the gear indicator and clock on the primary and secondary display,
the bike doesn't vibrate, the power is better
although the tank is still tiny at 13ltrs, the tank panels are fibre, the bike still weighs quite a lot and so on
thanks for your comments, I like it.... it's actually can help.. helped me...
You nailed it Vikas. Good notice regarding heat gauge.
+Vinay Belagala Thanks very much mate. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe
Yes I did. I'm your subscriber since 2012
Dog has slept throughout
Vikas Sir each and every point is very very critical and crucial.
Dominar owner here.
Rode to Pune in 14 hours. Jaipur in 39 hours.
Agreed on the mirrors and the braking.
High seat height. Bro it is adjustable. I am 5ft 6in and I reduced the seat height by 2 units and now the baby handles like a dream. Not like a Ducati though.
I also find the light pretty weak on highways at night-time. But my tours were accident free.
Gear shift indicator? C'mon man. I change my gear by the front of the engine. And that how I love it. I also own a 2006 pulsar 180 in which I toured entire north east so the gut instinct comes from there.
Engine does get hot which I feel in my daily commute but on the highway this beast is smooth.
Comparing Dominar to RE and Dukes makes no sense. This bike is in a different segment altogether. The closet call would be Mahindra Mojo.
Plastic tank is again fine but I do wish for a greater tank size.
Saddles bags have not given me any trouble despite being short in height.
But yeah. In love with this machine through and through. I wanted a good mid weight bike that can take me places and should not have the alphabets RE.
I brought this bike on this jan 25. everything you said is nice to have but not that important. yes break and mirror is the minor issue...
great review!! I've seen several reviews about Dominator, but yours is very critical and I appreciate that because that helps to make a smart buy!!
+Gustavo Ortega Thanks very much. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe
Agree with most of the points shared ,, mirror and secoundary display console definately
the 2019 model is awesome and worth every penny.
although it comes with it's set of issues as a manufacturing defect.
bajaj although are rectifying the issues and have helped me do so also but then yes there are many issues that exist in this 2019 model
this bike is less costlier than the duke 200,,and packs a lot of goods for that amazing price tag bajaj has put on it,, the cons u pointed out like the trip computer and the shift indicator,,will only increase the price of the bike,,, if u want all that just go for or smthg costlier ,,, this bike is really worth the money and a good option for buyers with low budget,, bajaj did an awesome job on the pricing of the bike,, and with the bike too,, these points doesnt mean shit,, for a bike which gives this much and that too for an awesome price tag,,, :/
EBC released Brake pads for dominar for 2899Rs.Before you go to EBC you can consider ASK Disc pads same for UG4 pulsar series.its Around 130Rs Its sound like very cheap,But its doing great job.Not so durable but its better than stock pads.Am using its better.EBC good option and its copper alloy sintered best option,ASK is coarse Semi type.
abs should have been switchable , and the trip computer which you said +Vikas Rachamalla is also a good opinion..
I am a newbie..why would you want to switch off ABS ? It is for our safety right.
Akshay B K city traffic ride don't require abs.. switching off while riding could be good in city traffic without abs
Hi buddy informative vid man!
vikas are you a true biker,if yes question yourself plz.
why the hell are you comparing KTM to Dominar??
KTM have this Dominar doesn't.
KTM have that Dominar doesn't.
what the hell man.
Dominar have its own specs okay.
tell the points which hate but don't compare them and begin the rivals.
Cuz both share the same engine
@@somrawat4280 but now they nearly do 🙂
there's hardly a price difference in 2020.
the duke 390 costs 2.58 ex showroom and the dominar 2.25 ex showroom
I've heard that if the fuel indicator has zero bars, you might have a good 3 liter fuel it just doesn't show up because it's the minimum requirement fuel cause of Fuel Injection.
Bro except braking , rest of the issues you explained are really not problems...
buddy, if you are a serious tourer, then these are actually very big problems... and by touring i mean 600 to 750 km a day... however you will not feel these problems much when you are riding 150 or 200 km in one day...
bro where do you get that tank bags
Bro you are amaz every time you make best video ..thanks for reviewing on every bike what you it really helps a lot of people.evert time I suggest you video to friend a lot.. thanks you..cherzzz bro
Great analysis and awesome review!!
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe.
I think there are some good pointers here along with supportive logic to it. Well, it's never going to be a complete wholesome package, requirements along with costs will always differ from rider to rider.. And honestly you should always compare apples to apples..
All in all informative..
for this price tag, bajaj had given more than enough features. In my opinion, this is the best vfm bike available now and my next ride will be this( currently i ride enfield desert storm 500).
really keen observations. eye opener...
Thanks for the review. Wish you could have the bike on main stand for better visibility of bike.... specially while explaining the ride height. Rest all good.
indeed true 😌 but considering the fact that it is a valueformoney bike...those features doesn't stand a chance...but still i agree with the mirror height problem...👍
overall its an awesome video...thnx :)
Most importantly it should have got a 15 or 16ltr fuel tank which would improve its touring range and Yess the Gear indicator too.
Your videos are AAA quality...got another sub sir!
It's a bike of its own character. Comparing other doesn't make any sense. If you have the budget, just go for it. Tank capacity is a good one that I agree for touring. Rest everything need to adjust accordingly as per individual driving.
Things discussed here maybe good point for other riders. Dominar is like keeping technology subtle.. these 8 points are the perks of having a dominar400
Bro, I too use Dominar 400 ABS FEB 2018 Model. If they have given mental tank and if you start using Magnetic Bags it may damage the instruments on TANK because of Magnetic Field...
I may be wrong....but keeping a mobile inside a magnetic bag.might not be a great idea
you can use a non magnetic tank bag like the road gods zeon r1. single click of a belt you can refuel.,Bajaj was careless in the case of pulsar 220f when it comes to rear view mirrors
+subash biker Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe
Mono suspension can be adjusted according to your requirements
Very valuable intel Vikas Sir.
you can adjust the mirrors to your reqmt, not a big deal!
I have seen soo many youtube reviews about this bike - reviews from bike owners and company ), read articles about this and among the points, you have mentioned like - plastic fuel tank, rare view mirrors, consol trip indicators etc, around 99% have the exact same problem or complaints about this bike. Also, it has vibrations on high speeds. So its kinda nice that you folks give your time and energy to give the proper review as well as share your experience with this bike which in turn help to make a conscience about this bike, but is Bajaj really listening to the consumer's complaints ?? or turning a blind eye !! coz if they would be listening to these complaints then I am sure by now they would had incorporated changes as per consumer likes. :-) , anyways good review.
+Chetan Gupta Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe
i am ur subscriber since u were around 2k
Have u ridden the avenger n v15... ur recommendation s are receipe for avenger 400 or v40
aah Vikash my dislike videos too have the same points.. thought of uploading the video this weekend...
Sure bro, I will watch..
@Bulu Biker @Vikas Rachamalla Can you guys share whether Dominar has OBD port or not? Thanks in advance.
meprateek1 that Vikash can only figure out.. i guess it should be at the same place like duke under the seat...
It has Engine heat warning post specific temperature.
hai Vikas this is anoop. Thanks for your efforts to learn others about a new vehicle. I have some questions to ask you?
I would like to buy a new bike, but I am confused which one is suitable for me.
3 bikes are in my mind, dominar, classic 350 and Electra 350.
now I have a pulsar 180 having 7 years of age. I have ridden almost 56800kms. I have a 3members family. we always travel in my pulsar. now a days I have some back pain problem and performance of my bike is unsatisfactory. power become less. and no riding comfort and back pain. I am not a harsh driver. I always ride with a speed of 50 km. quite few times 70....but I love to ride power ful bikes of bajaj.
now I am getting a mileage of 54
I need to know whether I select dominar
1)whether I get a mileage of 40km with my riding speed.
2) riding comfort or both rider and pillon seat. which are suitable for ladies both in single side and double side.
3)seat has a length of 3 people sitting.2 elder and a kid.
4)shall we replace its horn with a pair of pulsar horn.
I need to get an answer of all these. read carefully. and give me a best reply.
thankyou....."
Very fair review. Thank you.
Please make a video on 2018 ns200 review it and and tell something more about it .....please it's a request...u are damn good at reviewing...
I want to know did dominar have a auto canceling indicator like bajaj pulsar
this is the kind of review you are known for. The 2017 Duke 390 review was Informative but the way you presented it was a bit childish and out of your character. You are a mature rider who is very well informed about mechanicals. I don't think you need to act like a overenthusiastic teenage rider to attract potential subscribers. I hope you don't mind what I said, it was just a thought that came to my mind. Been following you since 2015, and just love your informative videos
it's really helpful review for some one like me who's looking for a 400-600cc motorbike, i have got one doubt while watching this review, u talked about after market brake pads, which brake pads will u recommend for RC200, the stock has the initial bite around 6-8 months after that feels like it's fading even i changed the pads 2 times in SVC, and some of my friends said that it's bcoz of metz tyres, it's sticky and smooth that's y am not feeling the bite but personally am not feeling the stopping power and initial bite which i felt 3 years back.
Very good points! Im only 5.5 and Im hoping to have if ever launch. I wish the height may be reduced
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe.
About point number 4......I think Bajaj should make a tank bag which is properly compatible with the Dominar
Abs can be switched off of doninar.. And what Is the difference about top version of doninar and Base version..
Also there is a loud "thud" sound when shifting from neutral to the 1st gear!!
That is actually normal in all big engine bikes bro.. So, no problem :) Thanks for watching!
lesser the electronic sensors lesser the hassle as bajaj may not be the ideal brand to rely on with electronics as they focus on cutting the cost which includes cutting down quality too....seriously my opinion though.
bro it's firing sound is good or not just like sports bikes???
hello vikas sir.. i need a seggestion.. i am 24 years old n i have a pulsar 220 2015 edtion... that is my daily as well as long ride companion.. now i want a different long ride bike... i am confused between dominar and duke 250.. which one should i go for???? help me out...
By this what will u recommend to buy a duke200 or dominar plzz give rply i was in a dilema tht which bike i shd buy . thanks bro for u r reviews
Go ahead with the Dominar 400.. Thanks very much. Hope you enjoy my other video also and hope you subscribe.
ya i subscribed a long time ago
Ramesh Manguluri
very well done bro , great review
At that price it's the best offering from Bajaj... I think no manufacturer in the world can provide the same at that price...Indian manufacturers are really great in that perspective...
hi vikas u forgot to mention fuel level indicator problem which is not accurate
I brought this bike on Jan 25 2017. And i can say it is accurate! Clocked 1200+KM Yes.. When bike sitting on stand it will show a different reading! but after sometime it will show correct reading (When you start riding). So i think the angle of Bike does matter. If bike is not sitting on stand it will show correct reading.
+sandeep monish a LOT of bikes have the same problem nothing new
what about vibrations post 4000 rpm, it is annoying me! Is it just my bike or all dominar's have the same issue
I still have my 2010 thunderbird twinspark.. I can't even feel any vibration on my Dominar ... maybe because i am from TBTS lol
sandeep monish dafaq Mann....even my rs200 has same problem! bajaj should really look into it.
Nicely presented man much appreciated.. 1 Query..I have seen In one review video of the same bike that the Owner describes that the gear downshift is not quick. He has to Clutch & down shift in on every gear to bring it to the first gear. e.g. The owner was riding on 5th gear & suddenly he has to slow cause speed breaker or a Sudden potholes so normally we downshift the gears by holding Clutch & then Shift shift shift shift. But he describes that u have to Clutch-downshift, Clutch-downshift till 1st gear if you are slowing down suddenly.. Whats your comment on this, do u ever have to do this?
The tank bag on an old enfield i had here.. It had a zipper that opens the lowest section which simply has a hole for the petrol filler😁.. So no problem
the biggest disadvantage is weight. combined with high seat height that really hampers the comfort factor
I agree.. Thanks for watching mate!
Hi, Can we adjust the mono shock suspension to decresase the Dominar's height???
There’s engine heat warning ⚠️ system. Which will tell you once engine temp crosses a particular value
hi vikas, I'm 5ft 6inch and I'm facing the tip toe issue while dragging back my Dominar from parking lots, can we lower the seat height by adjusting the mono suspension of the bike. My friend who's an FZ version 2 user has changed the suspension settings and the seat height was comfortable for me. Can we do the same in Dominar?
Ashik Ajith what we do is to have a portion of the seat chopped off to reduce seat height and modify it to suit your style
Bhai 2017 mere pas he roj roj use karta hu 20 jada bar utartahu bethtahu ghar pas roj use kartahu or long bhi bohat chali 40000km chalali, time to time oil pani karaw koi problem nahi fire he bike 1 number he chalanewa thakjai bike nahi thakti long drive me bhi
which bike should I buy betn Yamaha z25 and Dominar
how about the crash guards ??
Vikas sir, please add the english subtitles...
am unable to understand.
Would you buy the new 2022 model over KTM390, CB300 or Ninja 300?
do bike have any kind major of vibration anywhere ? like on tank near around ???
Nothing is 100% perfect
