I had been riding kapchai for the past 15 years and currently working on my BFull license, and I wanted to buy a used bike to get myself familiarize with a clutch bike.

Initially I went to this bike shop for a used ER6N, but the shop don't recommend this bike and said this bike have valve issue. In their store they have 4 used ER6N that its valve need fixing. Then he recommended me a used Dominar 400 with only 6k mileage for under 10k.

Personally I prefer ER6N, which is about 3~4k more expensive than the used Dominar. But the valve issue the shop raised have me concerned.
Can anyone advise me if Dominar is a good starting bike?

This valve issue was pretty serious, from what I remember through a family member who owned a 2012 ER6N. I'm not sure how much it costs to fix now, but it used to be around RM1k if you were too late for the Kawasaki Health Check/recall service...

Wow, I googled about it and yea, you weren't joking, that valve issue is crazy. Any idea if the issue has been resolved? I saw it happen on Versys too which made me sad, cz Versys 650 is the bike that I target to buy in the future. sad.gif

Anyway, I can consider trying out Dominar as my first bike. I saw quite many on the road and am wondering if it is good starting bike for daily use.
