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 ..
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 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
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
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.
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.
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
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 😎
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....."
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.
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.
Hi Vikas, can you please suggest which is a better option to go for between Thunderbird 350, Thunderbird 500 and the Dominar? I know people will say you cannot compare TB with Dominar but I want to select between these two bikes. My use is for daily commuting and occasional touring. My height is about 5.7 and I am on the heavier side. Budget is about 2.2 lacs. Your honest suggestion would be really appreciated. Or shall I wait for any other upcoming bikes you recommend? Thank you.
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.
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...
I'm planing to buy a above 300cc bike. But totally confused in DOMINAR 400 , BMW G310R, BMW G310GS , Duke 390 , Benelli Tnt 300 etc etc for my nxt sikkim & Leh ladakh Tour. Kindly give me suggestion...
Hello Mr. Vikas , I have a doubt regarding my ktm duke 390. I own a 2015 ktm duke 390..... my instrument cluster shows 13k rpm as the limit... but recently when i was riding i came to know, the limiter kicks in as soon as 9500 rpm...... is it the same for all the dukes or is it from the new slipper clutch enabled versions...... can it also be, because of me setting the shift light at that particular rpm....... please share your views...... i am always inspired by your videos..... keep up the good work and do what you like... all the best.......
hii dude i want to buy a knee pad for touring but i dont tour much..... which type of knee pad should i but internal or external one and planing to buy helemt im thinking of buying mt thunder kindly suggest me
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?
I hav seen all ur videos I just wanted to knw hw much does it really give - mileage?? In a review a guy said that it gives oly 18- 20 ? I'm abt to buy dominar I need it give me 32 kmpl will it give I'm in a hilly area not dat much traffic here
Hi.....Vikash I have a qns for u... that i have RE 500cc Desert Storm( recently purchase). Is it good bike??? According to u...? Plzzz rply me big bro..... Your opinion is meant lot for me....
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?
bro, did you felt the fatigue or soreness on 400kms ride and in case if you felt then after how much kms u felt fatigue and soreness. please me the honest answer and I took test ride of 4-5kms but I can't say until I didn't riden this motorcycle like you. my priorities is comforts and power.
Bro I have problem of dominar I don't know if this serious but my throttle has a play maybe because the throttle cable need to adjust I don't know is it possible to rectify this problem
Hey Vikas! I took Dominar from local rental bikes and took it to highway, I was doing Revs of around 6k @ 120kmh and I noticed the bike lag for a fraction of second for couple of times and then the bike broke down.. I had to pull it for about 3 km fuse was intact,, the local mechanic used an extra battery to start it by shorting under the seat.. can you please tell me whether this is common issue ?
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.
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
Bro you speak about the details...I love your videos and reviews...and your english is good. And I feel that you have huge knowledge about the bikes....which is good bike? Duke 390 or dominor or interceptor? Please could tell me ?
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
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...
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.
i want to buy dominar bt most of the ppl i askd said dnt go fr dominar.bajaj bikes r nt durable creats lots of prblms aftr couple of yrs,no avg,no resale value.feel gud only whn its new,aftr 2-3 yrs wil face issues.rather dan go fr royal. so specification wise dominar is best bt it is dat best fr long time?need advice.
should i get main stand for dominar because main stand is important for me while parking the bike at my place as parking place is small and narrow please revert back
bro what do u want under 2lakh budget atleast bajaj is giving us a 400cc engine see ktm the price is touching the sky and bajaj giving more features like slipper clutch,dual channel ABS now what do u want
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.
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.

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)

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 ..
your dog is chill af during the entire review :D
Mayank Goswami his dog is always chill
lol haha
lol ha aha
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
Ankit Magar oi bhai taile malai nasika ta. Tero chheu na tuppa ko suggestion tai sanga rakh.
dude im not nepali...i idk what u saying !
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!
true rider always wears his helmet...
😂😂😂😂
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 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
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
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 ?
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.
This I 100% agree with.
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
INVINCIBLE ONE Bullet 350 standard
Dude you didnt just buy a/any bike. You bought a bult!!
@@evilplaya6350 a vibrator 🤷🏼♂️
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
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..... ❤️
bro where do you get that tank bags
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 😊
Thanks for watching mate!
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 😎
Would you buy the new 2022 model over KTM390, CB300 or Ninja 300?
good points can't be neglected but I can live with it 😎
Harsha Gowda u bough it?
Bought*
Abhishek Singh I've booked the bike bro still haven't received it but I'll be getting it by the end of this month
Harsha Gowda u got it? nw?
@
Honest review.
1. The bike doesn't have a kicker?
What if the battery goes down. How to start the vehicle?
Abs can be switched off of doninar.. And what Is the difference about top version of doninar and Base version..
What about the vibes after 100 kmph.? Not so good for a power cruiser.
Do suggest a preferred bike.. Considering cost and the feature.. Ktm duke 250, dominar or fz250?
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....."
Vikas sir, please add the english subtitles...
am unable to understand.
There is a vibration or sound....from secondary digital console....what should i do ?
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.
I am planning to buy this bike please suggest me whether it's a good bike for daily city use and few highway rides.??
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.
Hi bro, I agree to your justification and would add the fact that the indicators are meagre and so timidly small to dominate.
Hi Vikash, how do you feel about the new Dominar 400 2019?
what is the mileage of the bick
and can we take the bick or not
and what about engine heating problum
What should I go for classic 350 or dominar 400 as my first bike?? Pls hlp me
bro it's firing sound is good or not just like sports bikes???
some are complaining about the power lag. is it true that the bike has power lag problems?
vikas all your videos are superb! keep going. I am a beginner level rider. All your videos help and are easy to understand.
Bajaj Dominar or Mahindra mojo which is more refined & reliable?
Hi Vikas, can you please suggest which is a better option to go for between Thunderbird 350, Thunderbird 500 and the Dominar? I know people will say you cannot compare TB with Dominar but I want to select between these two bikes. My use is for daily commuting and occasional touring. My height is about 5.7 and I am on the heavier side. Budget is about 2.2 lacs. Your honest suggestion would be really appreciated. Or shall I wait for any other upcoming bikes you recommend? Thank you.
Hey vikas please tell me that you are using for covering your bike.
which bike should I buy betn Yamaha z25 and Dominar
Have u ridden the avenger n v15... ur recommendation s are receipe for avenger 400 or v40
Hi, Can we adjust the mono shock suspension to decresase the Dominar's height???
U didnt mention about the small tank capacity given the inadequate mileage...one has to fill the tank every 350kms or so...
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! :)
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.
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.
Watching it too late 1st question came to my mind ye indoor parking me bhi helmet lagana jaruri hai kya ?
where did you get the tank bag.. please tell me.. I want one..
do bike have any kind major of vibration anywhere ? like on tank near around ???
sir is it possible to attach a white handguard like KTM duke 390 on dominar....
I agree on issues like brake pads & mirrors; M/s. Bajaj Auto Ltd, should take note of same
I want to know did dominar have a auto canceling indicator like bajaj pulsar
what about the wire attached with front brakes which is not looking well... that's the only bad thing which degrade it's look from front.
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...
plz let me know should i go for RC200 or dominar 400??
I'm planing to buy a above 300cc bike. But totally confused in DOMINAR 400 , BMW G310R, BMW G310GS , Duke 390 , Benelli Tnt 300 etc etc for my nxt sikkim & Leh ladakh Tour. Kindly give me suggestion...
hi vikas, can u recommend aftermarket gear indicator for this?
Mono suspension can be adjusted according to your requirements
Hello Mr. Vikas , I have a doubt regarding my ktm duke 390. I own a 2015 ktm duke 390..... my instrument cluster shows 13k rpm as the limit... but recently when i was riding i came to know, the limiter kicks in as soon as 9500 rpm...... is it the same for all the dukes or is it from the new slipper clutch enabled versions...... can it also be, because of me setting the shift light at that particular rpm....... please share your views......
i am always inspired by your videos..... keep up the good work and do what you like... all the best.......

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?
I hav seen all ur videos

Plzzz rply me big bro.....
Your opinion is meant lot for me....
Vikas Sir each and every point is very very critical and crucial.
hi bro, i would like to know about the mileage which u got on this bike ?
can you please. share some recent reviews of dominar ..
Hi Vikas your views .pls best for touring..Wil b buying soon
Duke 250/200 or Dominor?
neeraj chimnani what did u buy?
Sir, please do a comprehensive review and you're personal take on Duke 200
Very good motorcycle bro! Just go for it..
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
I am a riding my bike within 50-70km/hr usually. same with dominar, how much mileage would I get?
Did you check if the pistons were misaligned on the brakes?
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe.
Brother koi to batao, how is the vibration ??
for daily commute RE 500 or dominar?
Very well. Nicely put across. Although the points are not deal breakers, but put into perspective, the points are worth mentioning. Good job.
Is it worth buying KTM RC 125 as a first bike ?
bro, did you felt the fatigue or soreness on 400kms ride and in case if you felt then after how much kms u felt fatigue and soreness. please me the honest answer and I took test ride of 4-5kms but I can't say until I didn't riden this motorcycle like you. my priorities is comforts and power.
Bro I have problem of dominar I don't know if this serious but my throttle has a play maybe because the throttle cable need to adjust I don't know is it possible to rectify this problem
Hey Vikas! I took Dominar from local rental bikes and took it to highway, I was doing Revs of around 6k @ 120kmh and I noticed the bike lag for a fraction of second for couple of times and then the bike broke down.. I had to pull it for about 3 km fuse was intact,, the local mechanic used an extra battery to start it by shorting under the seat.. can you please tell me whether this is common issue ?
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...
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.
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.
thanks for your comments, I like it.... it's actually can help.. helped me...
himalayan or dominor?? can u suggest??
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.
Sid Con not sure about squids bro .They I'll prefer R15 v3 or bullet .I'm sure they ill not go for dominor .
Shreyas G guess you are wrong for this time😋
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 .
+Shreyas G well those squids need to rethink about their choice if they go for bullet
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
It has Engine heat warning post specific temperature.
Bro you speak about the details...I love your videos and reviews...and your english is good. And I feel that you have huge knowledge about the bikes....which is good bike? Duke 390 or dominor or interceptor? Please could tell me ?
My height is 5.8
Budget is not a matter to me... Could you please tell me which is good bike?
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
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
Good observations Vikas....practical issues highlighted...cheers!
Buddy what is the average of dominaor in city and in highway
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.
i want to buy dominar bt most of the ppl i askd said dnt go fr dominar.bajaj bikes r nt durable creats lots of prblms aftr couple of yrs,no avg,no resale value.feel gud only whn its new,aftr 2-3 yrs wil face issues.rather dan go fr royal.
so specification wise dominar is best bt it is dat best fr long time?need advice.
should i get main stand for dominar because main stand is important for me while parking the bike at my place as parking place is small and narrow please revert back
+Cherryboy Jain Buy a Paddock stand bro. It is of a lot of use. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe
bro what do u want under 2lakh budget atleast bajaj is giving us a 400cc engine see ktm the price is touching the sky and bajaj giving more features like slipper clutch,dual channel ABS now what do u want
u missed fuel gage mistake on your touring ??? I mean sudden disappear of 3 points on sudden stop
reply for me
That problem exists on all pulsars...
That when the reserve and main change in motion they are liquid and it happen in every bike even my brother fz25 does that
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
