I have 30,000 km on mine and no major issues. It's been just regular maintenance, and it's been solid. Other than that, the build quality seems a step up from other Bajaj bikes I've owned.

It's hit or miss. My friend's Dominar has been trouble free but mine's been having electrical gremlins from day one. Bajaj's QC seems inconsistent.

For the price, it's pretty good. Some switchgear is cheap feeling but the core components are solid. It treats you well, just keep an eye on the chain tension.

It's been surprisingly robust. I dropped mine a couple times off road and it held up great. While the paint could be better (it chips easy), it still looks pretty good.

Reliability was OK, but little things keep popping up. Stuff like loose bolts, a finicky fuel gauge. Not anything major, but it’s annoying for a 'premium' bike.

The Dominar’s build quality felt a bit lacking, coming from bikes from Japanese bikes. 2 years of ownership have impressed me with how it’s held up to daily use though.

It's been a mixed bag for me. The engine and chassis have been bulletproof but the electricals have been a problem and there are a few rust spots starting to appear. These have been hit or miss for Bajaj’s service in resolving.
What does the Dominar 250's weight do to its everyday usability?
29 January 2025 08:04
People make it out to be worse than it really is, honestly. Once you’re moving, the weight goes away. It is only really noticeable when trying to park or navigate really tight spaces.

It was hard at first, I came from a 150cc bike. However, after a few weeks, I got used to it. The trick is to utilize the engine’s torque and let it do the work when you’re in slow traffic.

It's a deal-breaker for me. I test rode one and it made me feel like I was wrestling a bear in city traffic. It's sure stable on highways but it's too much bike for daily commuting.

In my book though, that weight is actually a plus. The added mass helps take out bumps and potholes better than lighter bikes and it feels planted on the road. All you have to do is modify your riding style a little.

It's all about technique. Learn to use your body weight right when making u turns or parking lots. Once you get that down, the weight is not so big a deal.

It’s not for everybody, but I find it manageable. If you’re shorter or don’t have as much upper body strength, you may have difficulty. You better spend some time with it before deciding to buy.
What does the Dominar 250's weight do to its everyday usability?

It's noticeable, but distributed well. Once you get the hang of it, low speed handling is actually pretty good. And the weight lends it a premium feel that lighter bikes in this class don’t have.
How good is the Dominar 250's engine refinement, really, as Bajaj claims?
29 January 2025 08:04
For a single cylinder engine, it’s pretty damn smooth in my experience. Yes it does have some vibes at high RPMs, but nothing like my old Pulsar.

I would say Bajaj overhyped it a bit. For a Bajaj it's refined, but not in comparison to something like a Honda. At highway speeds you'll definitely feel some buzziness in the bars and pegs.

It all depends on how you ride it. It's butter smooth if you keep it in the mid range. Rev it out and you will get some vibrations. That’s true for most bikes in this class.

It's surprisingly smooth. It settled down nicely after the break in period. As long as you keep up with oil changes, it will stay that way.

It's a mixed bag. Below 5000 RPM, it's great. Then, the vibes begin creeping in above that. Not a deal-breaker, but definitely noticeable on long rides.

The Dominar 250 feels surprisingly more smoother in comparison to a KTM. It's all relative, I guess. I think Bajaj did a good job with refinement, for the price point.
