Must Read Questions & Answers Before Buying 42

Q. There are lots of complaints from Jawa 42 users about meter complaint and sensor complaint which doesn't allow bike to start. The bike is getting towed to showroom later gets fixed. Also heard about paint quality issues as well as finishing of the bike. Lots of gaps also seen between the parts. As anyone else faced such issues.? Try to bring these issues to the notice of the company. - 42 - 42 - 42?
  • Jawa is a insensitive waste of a company... i have a classic and trust me in the past 10 months of my purchase i have had at least 10 different complaints ranging from battery to fuel efficiency to clutch wire issues to bike abruptly shutting down while in transit.. above all the service center in thane sucks... it cannot get any pathetic than this.. they have kept my bike since last 1 week still trying to understand the problem... no one from the company has come forward and spoken on the issue irrespective of me putting tons of mails and calling them on their customer care number... pathetic bike, pathetic service pathetic responsive team.. own a second hand bike rather than a Jawa... have been cheated of my money you guys dont... be carefull!!!!
  • Yes I am jawa 42 user past six months earlier twaise I got meter issues, and after my 1st service mileage down to 26km/lt later I complaint to jawa service they said bring the vehicle to showroom service centre but after that nothing increase in mileage after few months got heavy rain few days after two wheeler chain was rusted and now my engine oil ceiling is opened I went to 2nd service to service centre now they are saying the oil ceiling is not available right now we will fit with the glue for temporary later on we will fix spare so what I'm saying 42 is looking like a very good but or quality of vichle is very poor poor I recommended you to don't buy Jawa 42 I have footage on this
  • Yes! It is true that some sensors not allowing the bike to start and you will get a notification on your instrumental cluster that “Side Stand On” even if the bike is not on the side stand. It doesn’t allow the fuel injector to do its work. So you won’t hear that buzz noise during the ignition. You won’t see the heat indicator and the lamda indicator light on during the key on. Normally we can see all the indicator lights on and off while the key on.I’m 200+ km away from the service center and struggling with this bike. Really inconvenient.

Q. Which is better among jawa 42, RE Meteor and Honda Hness 350?
  • Selecting the perfect bike depends on various factors such as your budget, ride quality, drive type, engine performance, features required, etc. Here, Jawa is the only bike here using a short-stroke, performance-oriented engine with a 6-speed transmission. Sure it’s fast, but it lacks the retro laidback charm of an under square engine, something we think is crucial for a buyer in this segment. Whereas, the CB 350 makes the best of both worlds: it’s not only powerful but also makes most of its torque lower down the rev range. All bikes here, except the Jawa, run long-stroke motors, with an even spread of torque throughout the rev range -- so they manage just fine with 5-speed transmissions. While both the CB350 and Meteor sport counterbalanced engines for better refinement, the winner here based on specs alone would have to be the CB350 with its true retro charm and loads of bottom-end torque. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read More:- 2020 Royal Enfield Meteor 350: Road Test Review - How Does The Highness Stack Up Against The Upcoming Meteor 350? - Honda Hness CB350 vs Jawa 42 vs Royal Enfield Meteor 350
Q. I like Thunderbird 350 and have also taken a test of Jawa 42. A bit confused after taking the test drive of Jawa42. It is also a smooth and powerful bike. Technically advanced also. which one to buy considering technical features, durability, mileage and maintenance? Please advise. Jawa's handling is also great. Runs smooth and looks better. But please give an expert opinion on what to buy.
  • I've got a TBTS350 and have taken rides of Jawa 42 as well. performance wise, both are almost same just Jawa is a bit more refined and smoother. suspensions are great on Jawa. when you buy such bikes, most important part is the Maintainance, with Thunderbird an experience of 7+ years after 5 years it started giving me pain in Ass as had to spend a lot every time it goes for service. but that's due to my handling as well, I hardly use it. so whenever I plan to use it it give me a big hole in my pocket. On the other hand I am not sure about Jawa. and to be honest being 5'10" TB is more comfortable specially for long rides. it's a complex comparison to do, both engines are powerful unless you are very critical about every nm it generates. Both are of different segments one is kind of a touring bike and the other one is styling. If you want me to select one, I would select TB due to its very comfortable ride position. The new models xtreme are very juicy as well.
  • Thats what happend in my casse, I am 6.3 tall and heavy, ordered jawa and waited for a 4 months and later realised regarding long rides it will be a hell for my height and the seat length of both Jawa 42 & classic was a bit small so if you are near or above 5.8 its better go to RE classic or what ever bike you like if much more above than 6ft its RE ThunderBird is a preferable choice. at the same time jawa has its pros & cons similarly RE as we all know about the vibrations in RE at higher speeds and Rusting & Pain quality in Jawa. So go by your requirement and the bike which suits you more.
  • Bro go for Thunderbird me piche 3 yrs se use KR raha hu bike awesome bike hai feature loaded hai built quality awesome hai milage around 35 ki mil jaeti hai meko maintenance Bhai 1500 me service ho jati hai plus jagah jagah store hai kahi bhi service krwa lo jawa ke itne service center nai hai across India so bro go for Thunderbird

Q. Which is better between Royal Enfield Classic 350 and Jawa 42 - 42?
  • Both Are Legends In Their Segment.When you Choose Bike Ask Yourself 6 QuestionsBike Height (Rider To Ride Joyfully)Bike Weight(For Easy Handling)Smoothness(Vibrations)Service(Convenient)DB killers Silencer(Loudness want or not)Pick Up(Boost Speed)Why I Choose Jawa : because of this 6 answer Short HeightLess Weight compare to bulletReally Smoother than bulletService issue with thatSilent killerPick Up best in class not better than bulletNot Jawa Better Than Bullet or nor a bullet better than jawa they are legends in their class.Ask Yourself this question and go without any doubt
  • I hope ajay is little but prejudicial towards 350x because his every answer is negative for jawa. However jawa supersedes in performance, built and ergonomics. From the 27 bhp which is jawa as compared to the 19 bhp of 350x, jawa is comparable to the 500x which gives the same bhp. Now lets talk about the vibrations of 350x, on the other hand jawa gives you a very smooth ride. Now lets talk about the pricing for jawa 42 which is 1.55 lacs ex showroom which is approx 20 k less than 350x. The same is with the kerb weight for which jawa offers the machine for 170 kgs on the other hand 350x weighs 190kgs. And yes taller persons can eaily ride jawa.
  • Very subjective.. you need to ride both to decide. Both induce different kind of feelings because of their respective engine types. The engine tech and dual abs definitely make the Jawa a more modern machine.. having said that.. do take a test ride of both before you make a decision

  • I don't know whether it's available or not for tube less tyers

    Poor after sales service from the dealer end and corrosion will start in your rear shockers and petrol fuel tank area along with the other areas.I have already decided to file the consumer court case against the company and dealer regarding their paint quality and the after sales service.Better you go for the trusted brand always and not for the new comer who doesn't established yet in the market.

    After launching there bikes after so long, jawa have still maintained there old school charm. Highely satisfied with the performance , pickup , handling , looks , design , exhust node , tyre size , capability of bike. It's so attention grabing thing, when ever I bring it on roads people starts following it to watch, many many lod people ask about bike, they say is it that old yedzi company's bike? Abhi bhi isme gear aur kick ek saath hai? Bahut badhiya hai ye to , kitne ki li? , and alot more.... I have lots of stories related to that bike which happens.....when you ride it , it feels like a nimbulled , well designed, a balanced design of colur of bike in many parts , with chrome along with matt black colour, and a very powerful , muscled , compact , powerful , machine. The amount of of power and torque delivers it engine in just 293 cc is really really amazing , more than 27 bhp of power in just 293 cc of engine is still is still so far from aal old and new rivals of this category. Highely satisfied with the bike, highely recommended, before buying any other bike must take a test ride of jawa, you will going to amazed.🤩

    Around 24 years ago i owned old jawa and rode it for thousands of km.It will thrill me each and every time i touch the handle bar & pump it to start the engine.The exhaust thump & interval between the next thump cant say in words.Flick & kick is a wonderful experience.I used to get mileage around 30 kmpl to 35 kmpl.Now to coming new jawa.I went test ride new jawa with imaginations & drove more than 210 km i got mileage of 23kmpl.Engine is powerful till 110 km/hr then it straining to climb speed with vibrations & becomes too noisy.The exhaust sound is like hero splendor bike.There are lots welding visually seen around new jawa.They recreated visibly old jawa.Visually good bike.I didn't get moved or ringed & impressed while riding.I never need a bike for visual pleasure.

    Worst bike, first experience bike ka. Rha. 1600 km normal use me. Engine khul gya oil leakage ,timing chain problem . Sensor. Khrab ho gya. Fuel metre kharab . Metre me fog ,battrey problm. It feels like Purchsed bike just for show piece . Spending more than 2 lakh on this worst bike is useless. They are saying this problem is coming in every bike. I have seen. Almost every bike. Got the same engine problem While servicing.1st time and then 2 and time also . Every single bike there got the engine problem . So from my side jawa is useless . . Comapny jab tk ye isaues ni sahi krti apni bikes ko vapas lena chye. Ise. Bekuf bna ri. Jawa ka name pe. Bike bik ri. Bus. . They have to. Pay for it.

    Agree with all users, The motorcycle is useless. The cols has cold start problems. The engine runs for 49 seconds without throttle in idle state when I crank the engine in the morning. The engine dies when i chug the accelerator when clutch is used. In traffic also the bike stalls when clutch is fully pressed. The re is an unbearable engine hiss. The seat is very hard. The dealer is an unscrupulous person lacking in infrastructure and the mechanic is untrained. ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MONEY. BUY RE INSTEAD
