a model defining magnificience

Bikes have always amazed me and specially Jawa 42. Looking at the features and specialities this bike offers, I decided to buy this vehicle last year. It was available for an affordable price in exchange of a lot of modern features. The mileage is good as provided, clean and good ground clearance and powerful engine that it comes with. My favourite feature is the smooth and comfortable ventures with this vehicle. I would definitely put this on recommendation list for others. The colour ranges are aesthetic and many sets of variants are also available.

Hello All,Good Day!I bid

Hello all, Good day! i bid adieu to my jawa 42 bike last night, I had mixed opinions about 4, 5 years of ownership.The engine was good while on long drives and vibrations were fairly better when compared to 2019 re.Yes, At a moderate speed range of 80km to 100 km/hr.Style and looks were good, With a retro feel to the design and some nostalgic feel also.In my present situation, I rushed to purchase this beast very early and had to pay huge over to quality in manufacturing and materials used.Some of these user issues were the real reason to sell this out.1.Speedo meter - the offset design was good but the fuel gauge was never accurate.Missed out trip meter and some major concern to speedo meter mounting which slowly developed cracks and bound to fracture soon.2.Fuel pump/ lambda sensor- issue while running and suddenly stopped on the go, Self start was not responding despite having 75% fuel all this within 2 months of owning.3.The seat was not padded sufficiently and had to consider aftermarket additions that mostly looked very horrible.4.Headlights were not sufficient light throw while in dark areas and adding additional light fixtures was no option because of the excessive load on the battery which will reflect issues over self-start.5.No tubeless tiers- the bike was too bulky to handle in case of punchers and hardly could move at times.Poor service experience at showrooms.6.Rusting, A big factor to decide! the very next day of owning the bike i noticed the fuel tank was seen with air bubbles and paint issues which the company replaced with a new tank under warranty.The handlebar was bent and was not in line and was replaced under warranty (stored in bad order at the warehouse probably), The cone rubber was missing under the fork.The service person had missed adding a chain lock while on maintenance and the bike broke down while running, Both i and my wife were fortunate not to be at high speed or on the high way which otherwise needs no explanation.The silencer started to rust within one year of usage, Located in bengaluru and seeing this silencer rusting was a weird feeling, There are bikes on the road eg.Yamaha rx 100 over 20+ years and have no concerns about rusting.The replacement cost of new silencers was another 15k!the resale value out in the market is very bad and i sold this bike for a very low cost.I hold the vendors responsible and also jawa who have delivered bikes and substandard spare parts.On the whole, While i look back and around now the new jawa bike or for other make, I feel like a father to a premature baby!thank you.

Bought jawa 42 2.1 a month

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.

I am currently using this

3.0

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

This bike is best for long

4.2

This bike is best for long distance travel and for cruising.Very quick pickup speed, Royal look, Comfortable sitting, Automated cooling system engine double silencer are some of the perks in this bike in starting it give low mileage but gradually it gives about 25-40kmpl.

Aman's 42 gives mileage of 25 kmpl

It looks outstanding and is a very modern bike.It gives good performance but has small and narrow seat.It has six speed manual transmission system, Overall quality is good.
