Do like I did, go there (went to Shah Alam/Sg. Buloh Modenas center) and ask to test ride the Dominar 400...

I drove there and didnt wear riding attire or Helmet, the counter guy still give me the key without asking for my details with note: only ride on the shoplot parking compound..

And that was it, rode Dominar 400 up to 80 kmph on straight line of the carpark area and turn lipat  rclxm9.gif

Actually, it is a good bike that can easily take on 10 to 15 more horsepower. Best is if they can give it a 2-cylinder engine. Then it will really be competitive and be able to hold its own against the Japanese 2-cylinder 250 sport bikes.

That should give an additional 8hp I think. But I wonder how it will work as the Dominar uses a 3 spark plug system while the Duke 390 uses just one for the 43hp that it has.

For cars it is common but I wonder if people do engine swaps for bikes

Is the chasis the same ? If not the mounting points might be different

Yup, The chassis is definitely different but not sure about the mounting points. If the points are the same, the potong motor shops can expect good business for used Duke 390 engines with low mileage biggrin.gif

Bajaj learned the lesson of 44 horse Power failure on Duke 390 before... the single bore 375cc engine de-tuned 35 horses for longevity....

How much is the damage? Oh did it your self? The existing exhaust can connect nicely with the original piping?

Did it myself, ordered a Midpipe rm 185, from lazada, vendor from KL, and the muffler from lazada China rn 105. Removed the cat and ori exhaust. Took me about 1.5 hours. If you got whatsapp, I can send you the sound of the pipe.

Didnt get to take it out for a run, cos after installing, it started raining. i'll probably take it for a run on Saturday if the weather is ok. From idle it seems more responsive when I'm free revving it, but it could be psychological.....you know...with louder pipes, it feels more powerful..... The bike is definitely lighter though, as the original cat and muffler weighs close to 7kg, while the new midpipe and muffler weighs less than half of that. So at least, even if there is no power gains, there is weight loss....hahaha
