Reviews of Jawa 42

Enjoyed the test drive. Nice Look, Good average, Nice color, Better pick up, On time delivery, Test Drive was arranged at showroom as per my convenience. Finance is also available as per customer requirements. The long drive was explored with smooth & hustle-free driving. The delivery staff at the showroom was cooperative.

About the Reviewer

1. irrespective of price point it is a very good bike and the behaviour of the staff at the showroom is also very decent and cooperative. If you buy it for daily commuting you will not be disappointed.
2. the bike is a little bit high with a seat height of 810mm but believe me it feels like 830+ due to its wide seat it will be difficult for short riders to flat foot on the ground. But its ground clearance is not good it touches high bumps if you are riding with a healthy pillion.
It is very easy to ride in the city and on highways also.
Its wide tires give you extra confidence while cornering but it doesn't provide ABS in the rear disc brake so if you push it hard the rear wheel skids but it is manageable.
Next, the turning radius of the bike is not so good. You need a large space to take a complete U-turn.

About the Reviewer

It was a great experience the riding is awesome dual tone colour theme looks phenomenal servicing if done on time you will not face any problems with maintenance digital instruments cluster shows everything from gear to side stand cutoff Sencor if you fill the tank you can easily cruise on highway for more than 350 km
Just 1 thing they should have is GPS / maps

About the Reviewer

Jawa 42 is definitely costly than the bullet 350 but it's worth it, while riding you'll feel the redline pull is greater than the normal rpm.
Road presence is awesome as it rolls heads of the people.
Services offered by the Jawa is too good and maintenance cost is pocket friendly.
Jawa is one of the oldest company than royal Enfield and also has more power and pull in redline as compared to other bikes. And basically it is bike where you can ride on the daily basis.
It's bike which is touring not for racing, and don't try to lean on jawa 42 because of it's ground clearance.

About the Reviewer

I bought jawa 42 in Oct 2019, and within 2-3 months I faced a knocking issue in the engine and a complete breakdown of the Engine, they opened the engine and resolved the issue, I asked to remove the mufflers in the second service but it was not possible due to rusting, now in 3 rd year, my bike has gone to service center thrice in a month and still it's not getting started despite changing the battery and paying 7k + amount... Worst experience... I regret buying it now.. Hope I could have bought any other bike or used my old bike instead.... Complete waste of money...

About the Reviewer

The buying experience and the riding experience for the bike are average.
What is problematic is the service and the quality of the parts used in the bike.
Within 3 years the major parts of the bike are catching rust.
Shock-absorber, gear padel, nuts, engine.
The majority of the parts are catching rust.
The fuel meter is not accurate.
The bike to this date has traveled only 13,000 km.
I purchased my bike in Jan 2021.
Then covid hit.
So the bike has only been active for around a year.
Still, this is the condition.
If only in 3 years this is the condition of the bike it's emotionally a very disturbing thing.
Pros:
Good power
Good for rides
Cons:
Service
Parts quality
Fuel meter
Ground clearance
100% not worth the money.

About the Reviewer

Very nice sturdy head-turner bike,
Good for long rides
Go for black color
Much better than the competition
Performance good
Pillion comfort little bit less
Go for it
Youngsters can buy as well as elders.
Paint protection needed
Suspension on the stiff side
The cushion is soft and comfortable
Just go for it head turner nice.

About the Reviewer

Initially for a year bike didn't give me much problem but after a year, the bike's paint job was so poor that mate paint started to get off and the battery which dies unexpectedly even after timely services.
I had some engine issues when shown they repaired it in mins and on the same day my bike engine was dead again while traveling home.
Unhappy with Jawa and their services.

About the Reviewer

Buying experience was not good as the waiting period was 7 months.
Riding experience: there is very much discomfort in this bike due to poor rear suspension and wrong seating posture. It very stiff at rear. Gear ratio is not good and you will get tired of frequent gear changes. Even the gear box and clutch are very hard to move. You can only enjoy this bike on highway for short period of time that also on 5 and 6 gear. Gear ratio from 1 - 4 is useless.
The bike has only good looks and my one rating is for looks only otherwise this bike has zero rating.
This bikes will cost you a lot (3-5k) even after changing parts in warranty. It will be even worst after warranty. Service is also not good. I am tired of carrying my to service center , leaving it for a month after that also my issue was not resolved several times. My bike is 3 years old, i have changes almost every part of engine still bike struggles to cross 90km/h . I have also changed wiring which does not come in warranty which i feel was defective since the bike was new.
Pros: looks, engine power, metal body.
Cons: poor quality of parts (swing arm, silencers, fan, rear break, chain sprocket, rims), riding discomfort, odd seating posture, low ground clearance for indian roads, poor wiring. Less service centers.
