dump away the stock tyre. go put in T31 or whatever, as long as not stock tyre

any video from india that shows the Dominar can ride / sound like this....

Got the blue one. Sprocket changed from 45 to 42. Sweet ride and corners well too. Very manoeuvrable. Next will be changing to Battlax!

I got the blue one too.
What is the effect after 45 to 42? how much and where to do it? Kindly advise!
it wont void warranty right

Actually I dunno how is the difference is before and after the sprocket change as I got it changed immediately by the shop before taking the bike. Warranty ah? Hmmm, gotta be friendly with the shop lor

But on a recent ride to Lukut from Seremban over the long weekend, it was fine on corners and could keep up with my friends on much bigger bikes, 650, 900, 1,000, 1,200. On the way back to Seremban, I really opened it up (as I was riding alone) and found it was a sweet bike to ride. Had sweet handling and good torque to pull out of corners. Slipper clutch, well, I didn't notice much about it. Only thing is if it had better tyres, I would have been more confident. But no scares anyway.

hows d feel compared to ur fz6?

Nice!
I haven't full throttle my bike as light still blinking at 6k rpm.
Can feel the pull around 6-7k also

So now I feel my bike not enough power

On my ride to Lukut and back, shift light on most of the time!

It felt a bit like the G310R. Light, nimble but not as sharp as the G310R. Still, its light weight made it feel much more manoeuvrable and flickable than my 600 which feels like a whale after riding the 400. It's something that will do well on twisties and in the city but not so much on highways unless it is kept around 150kph and below. I haven't brought it out on a highway yet though. But vs my FZ6R, well, for one, my 4-cylinder is way smoother and certainly more top end but for low speed bursts of speed, the 400 can easily keep up. My 600 also feels way bulkier and a bit more cumbersome to move around. The 400 does have a big bike feel which is nice and it handles nice too. Nice fat and thick seat. I'm sure it will be more comfy than my 600 on a long but 'relaxed' ride. Another thing is there is more legroom too. So, the riding triangle is bigger in the 400 than my 600 which makes for a more upright and also a bit more comfortable position. The suspension is a bit bouncy though on stock tyre pressures. Oh another thing is vibration. But then I guess it is normal for a single.

After all considerations, for RM13k, it does its job well and has specs to back it up.

How much you both yours. Me 14.7 otr.

Can still got for this price range nowadays bro?

Yup

Now most of those big bikes shop have stock already.
Only need to find the cheapest shop...

Divide the number of teeth on your rear sprocket with the number of teeth on your front to get your ratio.

The lower the ratio, the better your top speed but it reduces your acceleration. The higher the ratio, vice versa.

So the trick is, to get better top speed you must increase the size of your rear sprocket by 1-2 teeth.

Or if you want a more dramatic difference, the math says decrease the front sprocket size by 1 tooth. You'll be able to cruise at higher speeds at lower RPM at the expense of acceleration.

Beware that in the end, the final result is always influenced by how much power the engine makes in the first place. So if ur engine is small, don't expect miracles.

Try out small changes in ratio first until u get a feel for where you are in relation to the performance you want.

My TNT600 would rev past the redline, indicating it was under-geared from the factory. When my chain wore out, I increased the gearing by lowering the sprocket ratio. Now it does 150km/h at just 7000rpm, which is better for my highway commute.

Good luck.

Actually, to increase speed, you drop the number of teeth at the rear sprocket or increase the number of teeth in the front sprocket. To get better acceleration, you increase number of teeth at the rear sprocket and drop the number of teeth at the front. My 2 cents worth.

hi all, after some consideration between cb250r, versys x and d400, i go for dominar 400 early this month. currently clock around 380km.

however i notice one of the fork seal for the front suspension is leaking fork oil now. my first time ever seeing such issue sigh.

any recommended shop to service the fork , other than modenas official SC ?

reason is the waiting list is really long, need to wait till OCT for warranty claim/service at official sc, and i just wanna get this fixed asap before another front fork give up .
