Jawa 42 Questions and Answers

Bought jawa 42 2.1 a month ago and just gave it for the first service so just sharing my overall experience.The bike had some issues throttle issues as well as the engine cutoff issue, But it got fixed by the service centre by replacing some sensors for free.Overall jawa is a really great bike, The riding position is great and the look will make people ask you what bike it is.I have the all-star black variant.It is very necessary to get a backrest for the bike or it becomes very uncomfortable for the pillion rider to sit for a few mins also.The power and torque is great and i was easily able to touch 80-90.I haven't actually calculated mileage but i guess i'm getting somewhere between 28-30.A few things i didn't like is its very heavy so in steep cliffs or roads, It's very hard to pull it back.The first service cost approx 2k which is very costly for a free service.Accessories are a bit pricy in the showroom and it's hard to find in local shops.

Jawa is a superb bike with excellent pickup. When you throttle, the sound is good and decent—louder than1normal but not too loud for the silencer. It is not made for triple riding; two people are comfortable, but1riding with three affects the shock absorbers. The cost of the bike is around ₹2.5 lakh with accessories,1which include a double seat with a back support and a leg guard.The bike’s servicing cost is slightly high,1and overall maintenance is expensive. The engine heats up after a high-speed ride, and the mileage is not very1good—it gives around 18–25 kmpl because the engine is heavy and the pickup is very strong. The seat height is slightly lower than1other bikes, which makes it more comfortable. The handlebar is broad and impressive. It also comes with a1digital odometer with a clock.

I have purchased jawa 42.1 recently having new dual tone cooper brown colour the bike is really good in performance however there are majorly two things which 1 engine heat2 mileagethough the engine has liquid coolant system to control heating ( which is necessary) however, The exhaust of coolant fan heat directly flow towards legs further, My driving is quiet decent ( not so much aggressive) though my average is approximately 20-25 kmpl in city30 kmpl at highwayor else if regarding the maintenance cost it will be approximately 2000-2500 rs per 6000km.It is high no doubt but with compare to royal field & other 300-350 cc bike it’s common as per my opinion.The bike is really good one can buy.Easy to handle, Easy to ride.Not so common like rehaving dual abs is also plus point.

I am currently using this bike it is very good for everyday commute but i feel like hawa did not give the features it have to give but gave some useless features like bike’s ignition wont work if the bike is on stand and also if we raise the accelerator fast bike will also stop not just that we don’t even have a digital meter also the speedometer is in reverse for some time it is difficulty to look and control speed of the bike if the police are ahead also the petrol indication is very difficult understand as it starts from 3/4 and ends at 1/4 there is no use for 0 and full expect for the these features bike is really good for commuting and it works very good no problem till now has been using since 4 months and completed over 800 km
