My total garbage low quality ModernAss Dominar has now developed a new problem as the odometer passed the 10,000km mark.

Anytime I pull the throttle more than half & when the tacho passes 5000rpm, it starts to backfire & fart its brains out. I lost half my engine power.

That, and the fork seal has started to leak.... AGAIN.

No choice but limp back to ModernAss service center to claim warranty FOR THE THIRD TIME.

Dominar quality sucks cock.

For the peace of mind. I ride Jap bikes.

After coughing up cash for a new Triumph Tiger 850, I skipped work to send my Dominar back to the Kg Subang service center yet again.

By now, I'm already a familiar face there.

Ran into yet another fanboi while I was there. He accused me of not bothering to read the manual about fork seal maintenance. I told him off.. on which page in the freaking owner's manual does it say anything about fork seal maintenance? "Oh.. ini petua yg sepatutnya ada dalam manual, tapi entah kenapa Modenas tak taruk".

Dah kantoi.

Tak cukup kantoi 1 kali, he goes on to claim that the real maintenance requirement for fork seals is to not let the fork stanchions dry. Need to use axle grease or gearbox oil on the stanchions in order to preserve the fork seals.

Why do fanboys always insult me like this? Me getting a lemon not enough ah?

To further rub salt into my wound, the Grab ride back to Ampang costed me RM70 coz it's hard to get a regular Grab driver around that godforsaken area.

Lol
I ride big bikes for almost 30 years.

None of the Jap bikes I rode and ride require this kind of maintenance on the fork stanchions.
The most is I clean it when I wash bike.
No leak whatsoever.

So after this. Just make sure you get a more reputable bike brand
Less headache.

My Dominar is now officially on its 4th warranty claim. FOURTH.

The ABS system has shit itself, after a week Vi says it will take another 3 fcuking weeks just to get the claim approved.

So that's one whole month more, on the back of 1.5 months stick in Modenas getting the fork stanchion + seals & ignition coil replaced under the 3rd warranty claim.

This piece of shit motherfcuker only has 1 job to do -- to let my wife train for her B Full test -- and even that simple job it cannot fcuking do.

Fcuking disgusted & angry.

If I'm an owner of such bike. I'll push it into the lake and never want to see it again.

Hope that the next bike your are getting isn't any India or China made bike. I never trust these bikes.

Already bought another bike to replace it.

Now my wife needs to train on it for her B Full test. If it weren't for that I would have gotten rid of it a long time ago.

Her driving school refused to teach her how to ride coz is it'll take more hours than what her RM850 package includes, instead they told her to piss off & learn to ride somewhere else first using somebody else's bike.

So now the thinking is that once she passes her test, I'll trade it in for an SV650 or CB650R for her.

Easier said than done, coz even training my wife is too big a deal for the D400 - it keeps crapping out & prefers to spend f**king MONTHS hibernating inside a Modenas workshop instead of letting my wife train on it.

Wow
Which riding school is that.

How is she riding so far ?
There are some good riding YouTube channel which she can learn from. Try looking into Motojitsu. Love his riding tips and training.

For a beginner, between SV650 or CB650R, i would say sv650 will be easier to handle especially in the throttle. V-twin win be more easy for her.
Seat height both are quite similar. But I find sv is much more compact.
Unless she is hooked onto the sound of inline4, then CB is the one.
