Jawa 42 Questions and Answers

Question 1

Q. I am confused to pick a right bike for me. i stuck among himalayan, jawa 42 2.1 and meteor bike. my budget is around 2-2.20. i am 5.11, mostly use for office and sometime tour purpose. i am very much excited to go for himlayan but looks old after 1 year of time, lack of tubeless tires and maintenance cost pulls me back. suggest any good bike pals

Answer

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 If we talk about Royal Enfield Meteor, the thump wrapped up in a refined, easy to ride, confident and practical package sounds just right. The lack of oil leaks or missing parts over our 800km stint makes the package more joyous. The healthy fuel efficiency, 10,000km oil-change intervals, and 5000km/6 month service inspections make it more endearing. So, this Royal Enfield fulfills the promise made by the Thunderbird many years ago. However, the Meteor doesn’t make a bigger and bolder promise of its own by way of plush ride quality, a greater sense of richness, or, crucially, better cruising ability. On the other hand, the Himalayan BS6 is a well-rounded package that is now just that little bit better than before. It’s a nice motorcycle to tour the country on, and even if you don’t actually do so, it makes you look like the sort of person who does so with regularity. The Himalayan certainly isn’t flawless or entirely satisfactory in any singular aspect, but it makes up for these gaps by painting a picture of opportunity, inciting you to travel and explore on a whim. For that alone, it is and will continue to be relevant, even when the competition arrives in wholesomeness. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Question 10

Q. What is the seat height of Jawa 42?

Answer

Jawa 42 features a saddle height of 765 mm.

Question 11

Q. Which is better among jawa 42, RE Meteor and Honda Hness 350?

Answer

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.

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?

Answer

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!!!!

Answer

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

Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Answer

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

Choice is your . But if you required suggestion then I would suggest you to go for JAWA forty two .

Question 20

Q. What is the ground clearance of Jawa Motorcycles 42, will it be a big problem - 42?

Answer

The suspension system is so poor that when you sit on the bike you'll feel the travel of suspension. Thereby the ground clearance also reduces. The company information may be 165mm but while sitting on bike you feel it's much below than classic 350.( may be less than 135).

Answer

Jawa 42 has a ground clearance of 165 mm. But its still a big problem. you cant even go through a bumped road because it will hit on the road. If you are riding with guys behind you will obviously hit your stands on the road. It's the worst issue am having.

Answer

Is that really 165mm ?I am asking this because classic 350 ground clearance is 135mm and it's very comfortable than jawa 42 165 mm clearance?please provide correct information. I think on paper info is incorrect.
