change with smaller sprocket laa.. it was designed for engine durability even though came from the same brood mother KTM.. some I seen the complaint of KTM 390 (1st gen) the engine oil leaks perhaps due higher tuning state

And in the Indian road, 145 km/h consider high speed already, so the gearing of the bike tune for acceleration than top speed.

Ah, ok. Read it somewhere that smaller sprocket helps - which one? Front or Back?. Hahahaha, I'm pretty noob when it comes to mods.

I'm ok with the acceleration. Just that the top speed is a bit meh for a 400  biggrin.gif

Saw this bike on flesh.. it is big bike for sure.. on par the size as CB500 Honda.. (the naked version)...

Just change the sprocket to smaller tooth should be able to regain those lost top speed... in Malaysia you don't need to runaway that fast from oto Rickshaws and free roaming animals.

hyper riding
a style of sport motorcycle riding. ‘hyper’ is a sport rider term used for experienced twistie riders. as in those that have basic skills, that generally don’t like racing or being chased or chasing track tails. hyper is slow, within the comfort zone, based upon one’s skill level, but well within the design parameters of using a sport bike to slam into a twist, and roll on the exit.

This is what the Dominar was designed for, HYPER RIDING

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.  thumbup.gif

maybe got leaking

Colleague of mine, having the same issue.. his bike just over 1100km in odometer. coolant level almost at the very bottom of the stripe.

He said its common problem with Dominar in Indian owner forum (he can read Hindi).

best to bring it to the Authorized SC.

Me already register for more than 1 months.
No one from Modenas call me also.

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

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

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

My ideal for this bike, junk the 1 cylinder engine. Give it a twin. Up power to 45hp. Then it is really cooking.

For comparison, the Kawa Ninja 400 is a twin and has about 45 horsepower. The 4 cylinder Honda CB400 Super 4 (inline 4) has up to 55 horsepower in the VTEC version.

But maybe Bajaj can do that for the next generation. As for now, it should be adequate enough.

Just my 2 cents...

maybe to finish current stock before introducing new dominar 2020

I doubt they will bring the new Dominar, due to the latest cooperation with Kawasaki.. they might substitute it entirely with Ninja 250 since it has more market appeal due to B2 Lesen compliant.

Nothing new for Rojak knockdown assembly Company Modenas..

SYM - Kymco - Kawasaki - BAJAJ - China Bike (those new Kriss)
