I bought a jawa 42, 6 months back and driven around 700kms, Within 3 months had faced problems with battery where battery gets drained fast and wasn't able to start the vehicle.Had to call jawa service and get it jump start and live it for service, The vehicle was in service for 5 days.I was told the issue has been fixed after recharging the battery, However now i am facing other problems where the engine gets shut off automatically while riding in the middle of the road.This is a serious problem as it could impact the life of the rider with accidents due to engine stalling frequently.On the other note i feel there is a serious battery connection problem in this vehicle and if you don't use it for 2 to 3 days the battery drains out very fast.With no kick start available you need to live the vehicle at the place where it gets stalled or wait for assistance.On the mileage this is fuel consuming monster and am getting only 20kms per litre which is increasing our fuel expenses.On the ride i feel comfortable for long distance.I repent now buying this vehicle and feel that i should have gone for either royal enfield 350 classic as the maintenance cost is very high in this.
