2022 Modenas Dominar D400 update in Malaysia this June? Taller windshield, luggage rack, hand guards

After the model update launched in Malaysia in September 2021, it appears the updated or “touring” version of the 2022 Modenas Dominar D400 might be coming to Malaysia in the near term, perhaps as early as May or June. A source in Bajaj operations in India said the Dominar touring version comes with a taller windscreen and luggage rack fitted as standard for the India market and this will likely translate to Malaysia as well.

Also fitted as standard are hand guards and from the specifications sheet, there will be provision for a smartphone mount with accessible USB charging. Additionally, bungee cords are supplied, located under the seat but it is not known if this will be available in the Malaysia market Dominar D400.

Otherwise, things remain unchanged in the engine room, with the Dominar D400 using the first generation KTM Duke 390 mill. Power for the 2021 Modenas Dominar D400 is claimed to be 40 PS with 35Nm of torque, going to the rear wheel through a six-speed slipper clutch equipped gearbox and chain final drive.

Front suspension is done with a pair of 43 mm diameter upside-down forks and a Nitrox preload-adjustable monoshock holds up the rear end. Weighing in at 182 kg, the Dominar D400 carries 13-litres of fuel in the tank.

Single hydraulic discs perform braking duties front and rear and two-channel ABS is standard fitment. In Malaysia, the current model Modenas Dominar D400 is priced at RM13,997 excluding road tax, insurance and registration.

    • True bro. They have been here through Hong Leong for ages. Should give back to the Malaysian motoring public by reducing prices.

    • Modenas is motorcycle version of proton. No tarrifs and duties. Hong leong that sells suzuki or yamaha and boon siew honda that used to dominate the market totally wiped out. Its unfair business practice that is meant to erase non bumi businesses . Same occured with banks and cars. I am malay so not a racist. I am just giving you facts.
      Also reason why our tax collection is falling is every time gomen decides to wipe out non bumi businesses, our growth rate falters and tax collections fell. That is why gomen now cannot collect enough to operate and spent on development.

        Ya la tu malay. N best comments playing race card pada stp benda. Hebat betul otak kan nak main perkauman. gomen mana nak wipe out non bumi business? Ph BN PN? Proton national car. Duduk bawah china masa bn n ph then pn. Moto ni dijual pon oleh tauke kedai cina juga. Bukan kedai melayu. Bape kerat melayu ada kedai moto. Saja lingkupkan hong leong or boon siew?. Sblm modenas, ada SYM, Demak dll owner non bumi yg harga affordable. Owhhh x racist. As ex census worker, cukai negara semua dari GLC n minyak petronas. Buat gst pon dah melalak. Simpan sikit ya bodoh tu. Nak maju tapi cukai tipu dlm sst. Development semua nak pakat guna duit minyak dgn cukai GLC. Komen ko serupa la puak kerajaan masa jd pembagkang. Semua isu selit kaum.

        This is nonsense. I have seen many Proton distributors that are non-bumis. All those spare parts are also dominated by the non-bumis. What are you smokin man?

    • Get B then. Meantime, you can still ride it with B2 if you buy a temporary L license. If not mistaken that’ll last for 2 years.

    Very suitable to use as work commuter. Especially for more than 50km distance.

  • Been using V1 for 2 years , best value for bigger cc beginner bike. But I personally upgrade it with high windshield, handguards for highway comforts and spotlight for night riding. Can say it’s the best budget big bike !
