QUOTE(lowpro @ Apr 22 2019, 10:28 AM) My ideal for this bike, junk the 1 cylinder engine. Give it a twin. Up power to 45hp. Then it is really cooking. Who say 1 cylinder is a junk? Can ninja 400 2 cylinder beat moto3 bikes? 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... |

QUOTE(lowpro @ Apr 26 2019, 10:42 AM) Too bad Moto3 bikes are not road legal... Oh, when I said junk the 1-cylinder, I meant to replace it with a 2-cylinder. Not that it is junk ya. And, my context is purely on a on-the-road for public use basis. Not the race track. Huhu. Ok what single cylinder? Torque really nice. Just the vibration is emmm... Nutt shaker. Hahaha |

QUOTE(lowpro @ May 2 2019, 09:12 AM) Yup, the Dominar is a bit of a nut shaker but it is oklah if you're comfortable with it Bajaj owns KTM. So i think bajaj wont bother produce own engine. Beside, ktm engine are well proven. If they want 2 cylinder in future, perhaps dominar 1300 (using ktm 1290 adventure engine) I hope that Bajaj develops the Dominar 400 into something that can fulfill it's potential. Kawasaki dominar 400 just a little MoU between both company. Just sign the agreement, bring dominar, change logo. Then consumer see that wow this is new kawasaki althought its dominar. Same case happen to proton ertiga. Mou with suzuki, bring here, change badge. Then people see wow its new proton althoug its suzuki. At the end, people buy it willingly. See here? For marketing, badging play the role |

QUOTE(hitz @ May 2 2019, 10:01 AM) My thought was maybe modenas still want to use kawasaki engine for their moped models. Ct115, kriss and gt128 still viable choices for consumer. So why not kawasaki want to gain profit by buying more modenas share.Between gt128 or 135lc, i rather take gt128. Cheap, low risk and its kawasaki engine. Hehehe |

QUOTE(lowpro @ May 7 2019, 10:05 AM) Wonder if Bajaj will develop a full fairing version of the Dominar...will be an interesting addition. Ah, if they can only use the sweet 1-cylinder engine of the RC390, it will make the Dominar 400 so much more fun Rc390 same engine as 390 dukeThe ktm 390s has a lot of problem. Bajaj learn the lesson here. So of course they do not want dominar have the same as their sisters. Let dominar less agressive for longevity. And i dont think bajaj would put fairing. If you watch tamil/hindustan movie, you will see their bikes prefer naked than fairing. Unless bajaj decided to do it for their outside market By the way, how's your dominar? Ok or not? |

QUOTE(lowpro @ May 15 2019, 11:29 AM) Honestly speaking, if your expectations aren't too much, it REALLY IS A GOOD BIKE. It performs as well as it's designers intended it to. Getting from A to B with minimum fuss and in decent manner as it handles quite well. Daily use is good too but try not to over tax the engine for extended time over long distances. Gotta understand that it is only a single cylinder and should be kept at a reasonable cruising speed. It can go the distance. Just don't try to keep up with your friends on other more powerful bikes Thanks for info. Actually I'm retired from big bikes. Then since workplace now quite far, i guess i need it again. But this time, for daily use. |

QUOTE(BlackBananaV6 @ May 19 2019, 06:25 AM) Saw many adverts in mudah.my about previous version but brand new Duke 390 ABS selling for less than RM18k. Should this be better than 2019 Dominar 400? Old stock must clear to give away to new oneAnd old one mostly owner says is problematics I believe shop do whatever they can to clear it Even new one that super canggih got problem. Hadoi |

QUOTE(basilisk @ Oct 9 2019, 07:30 AM) Wow. They testing new dominar. Hope it confirmed entering our marketFyi, you see dominar with kembar siam mufler, that's definitely upgraded dominar : - engine same as duke 390. No DTS and its dohc. Current is DTS and sohc - Hp same as duke 40hp. Our current dominar is 35hp - most obvious makeup only its exhaust. The rest still same (design, dimension & weight) . Maybe new color scheme will be offer. In india they sell green color |

Finally, i bought dominar.
Too long to wait for revised model or possibly absolute none. Kapcai also selalu rosak. So no choice, angkat satu. |

QUOTE(taraobil @ Feb 27 2020, 01:16 PM) I saw the new version Dominar UG 400, with 40hp, radial breaks, inverted fork and 5 more HP, gear indicator... It seems like a very good upgrade. I hope it comes soon to Malaysia! Saw picture they tested. Until now no news. Me can't wait so me bought current model alreadyhttps://www.zigwheels.com/news-features/new...-to-know/33195/ |

QUOTE(ZZR-Pilot @ Feb 29 2020, 07:41 PM) I think I disagree with the rake angle bollocks. Indian journalists talk cock lah, super bombastic all the time. Of course it won't cilok like a kapcai, because it ISN'T a kapcai... shocker eh? Yeah. Agreeed with mr zzr. PilotIMHO, it's down to the bike's long wheelbase. 1450mm or so. Heck... a Z900's wheelbase is about the same but you don't hear these hacks complaining about the Kawasaki not being able to turn on a dime. It rides fine, with the suspension being on just the right side of firm. At the end of the day, it's just a comfy streetbike that you can ride or commute some distance on comfortably. And it doesn't even pretend to be anything else. My biggest beef though is the vibration... but being a single, maybe it's to be expected. I suspect mine will rattle ltself loose by year end.... Im also dominar owner for 2 month plus. Ride is comfy, nimble (althought is heavy), quick accelerate... All ride fine. I ride to work everyday with pillion & 43 liter givi mule box at the back. So far no complain. Vibration like zzr pilot said are obvious but thats' characteristic on single cylinder. After a year ownership then need to check every screw got loose or not While mr zzr pilot have its own tought of its disadvantage, mine have too. Handle turning radius not really good for my likings, need to push bike back and forth on tight parking area. Also got issue after 1 week (noisy brake pad, hard to start) fortunately it's solved after put wind blast on brake pad & stratch sand paper on battery terminal. Then all good to go |

QUOTE(ZZR-Pilot @ Mar 9 2020, 02:33 PM) Kalo jumpa windshield touring yg tinggi2 tu, roger-roger sikit naaa... puas aku cari, x jumpaaaaa... Boleh pergi kedai AMS Motorsport jalan gombak lama. You can cuci mata dulu also at his FB Aizat Mobile Service Bajaj/Modenas. Their poison really kaw2.Me also plan to put windshield. Wait for AMS to stock in new windshield product Windbro as it specially made for dominar this coming April |

QUOTE(ZZR-Pilot @ May 12 2020, 12:34 PM) Ya... last week since we're allowed to leave home, first thing I did was hop on my bike. Spent an hour going around the parking lot, forcing the brake until the brake pressure started to come back. Mine also. Mine feel a bit kosong tapi sekejap je ok. Right now can go work daily, brakes function like normalI think it was the ABS. Once it felt OK, I took it for a long ride up and down MRR2 and it felt normal again. Lesson learned - ini motor, ABS bukan boleh percaya sangat. |
