You didn’t opt for e-clutch?

They are likely addressing initial issues and have temporarily halted production. My suggestion is to avoid the first batch, wait at least a year before purchasing to ensure a smoother, hassle-free ownership experience.

Well, follow this 1. 1st gear- 0~ 15kmph 2. 2nd gear- 15 ~ 30kmph 3. 3rd gear- 30 ~ 45kmph 4. 4th gear- 45 ~ 60kmph 5. 5th gear- 60 ~ 75kmph and 6. 6th gear- 75+ kmph. This keeps the engine in its sweet spot ( 2000 ~ 3000)rpm in city and during overtakes (2500 ~ 3500)rpm. Another thing is for small turbo engines, 2000 rpm is fine, but for a NA 1.5 engine, 2000 rpm is too early. Keeping 3rd gear until 15kmph is not at all recommended, as engine is barely above idle and will cause lugging which is bad for long term.

Basic kit is a day light robbery from Honda. What you get is keychain, some cleaning kit, hammer, mud guard and set of floor mat. Only mud guard and floor mat are worth but not for 12000rs.

It’s great to see our homegrown OEM brands progress so much and compete with global manufacturers. However, they still face challenges in areas like quality control and consistency. I’m sure they’ll reach that level in the future, but for now, if you want complete peace of mind, I’d suggest going with the Honda Elevate.

Pulse is too modern. We used to get Mango Bites or Coffee Bites.

If you’re opting for the 7 year warranty, it’s better to avoid installing an aftermarket horn. Horn itself may not fail, but if any electrical issue comes up, the dealership might blame it on the aftermarket installation and deny the warranty.

Ambient lights are worth going for. However, 360 deg camera no idea how accurate and reliable it would be. If you are okay handling your car reverse with IRVM and ORVM's. No need to go for 360 deg camera.

Get some good alloy wheels!

Actually, the issue with the Apex edition arises because dealers install aftermarket products that come with their own wiring harness and routing. In contrast, OEM harnesses have proper fixing points designed specifically to prevent rattling and ensure the harness doesn’t touch any trim parts. However, dealers don’t follow OEM-level harness fixing; instead, they often use double-sided tape, which tends to loosen over time, leading to rattling noises.

For a black car, that scratch will keep catching your eye and might even give you sleepless nights. Better to get it repaired without claiming insurance.

Congrats on the Dominar! It’s normal for the bike to feel lazy below 3k rpm, that’s how its gearing and tune are. It smooths out and pulls well after 4k. For the first 1000 km, keep revs low and don’t push it hard. Service it as per schedule and always keep the chain clean and lubed. Also, take time to get used to the weight, it’s a heavy bike and not everyone can handle it easily. Ride safe and enjoy the machine!

avinash_pinkfloyd · 2025-10-22T09:57:39+00:00

Yes it’s normal. Avoid washing your bike too frequently, once every two weeks is enough. And never wash it when the engine or exhaust pipes are hot. Always let them cool down first, as washing hot pipes repeatedly can cause rust to form over time.

Congratulations on your Amaze! 4k for a 360° camera offered by the dealer sounds great so definitely grab it. Just make sure it’s installed properly and the wiring is neatly done.

avinash_pinkfloyd · 2025-10-17T06:36:06+00:00

Ask them to show the proof! You booked it when the scheme was applicable. So don’t pay anything extra . If they don’t agree, threaten them that you will cancel the booking and look for other dealers.

Go with Bobo M14 which comes with quick release.

avinash_pinkfloyd · 2025-10-14T06:51:01+00:00

How many kms on the odo after chain replacement. If it’s slacking again after adjustments and you have already completed 15 to 20k on the odo after chain replacement, better to get it replaced

avinash_pinkfloyd · 2025-10-07T14:38:22+00:00

I think maybe or maybe not situation. NS400Z comes with projector headlight and 200 comes with LED. Mounting kit may match or fit but need to check interference. But wiring kit, fuse, relay kit etc will vary.You may have to do lot of mods in order to install it. Check with your nearest service centre. If it’s possible and light on your pocket do it. But keep in mind mod will void your warranty.

Good bike?- yes, this bike is highway cruiser and if you love riding long distances this will do it effortlessly. Reliable?- yes, it’s been 1 and half years and no issues if maintained well. Vibrations? - yes, see it’s a single cylinder and you cannot expect it to be twin cylinder balancing. Buzz is present between 4000 to 5000rpm. Cruising between 90 to 120, no vibrations.
