Reviews of Jawa 42 [2018-2023]

Purchased the bike in the month of Aug- 2020. For first 3k kms, Riding experience was smooth. But everything changed after a long ride of 570 km. Started facing problems like oil leakage, vibration after crossing 80 km in highways, rusting and ground clearance also started with jawa. If you and pillion go for a ride during night time, headlamp will face upwards. There was a short circuit in the headlamp during a short ride. In 12 months, I have visited service center more than 15 times. Jawa has to hire trained professionals for their service center. Tensioner gasket has to be replaced for 8000 kms. Service cost is 4200 for 3rd service.
Pros: looks only. Nothing other than that.
Cons: vibration, battery issues, frequent break sound, maintenance, ground clearance.
Don't go with jawa.

About the Reviewer

Jawa is the most trust worthy brand once my father used to ride this bike during his college days this bike is returning after more than a decade of time but still looks stunning and never lose its beauty definitely going to have one after taking the bike a short test drive and also i hope a good value for money bike in this segment.

About the Reviewer

Riding condition is very appealing in this bike. Controlling sitting posture much comfortable as compare to royal enfield. Ride quality and handling is impressive overall thumbs up for 5 star rating to this bike.But only one thing i am really worried about it’s service and maintenance because jawa chosen less city.

About the Reviewer

bike looks stunning and performance is good but quality engine design is poor in just w month and 900 kms oil leaked from engine head they say it is due to over heating and paste get melt.
I dont know in which bike engine oil leaks in just 900 kms other isse instrument cluster will never show correct fuel indication and even my nutrul light start to blink on every gear while riding.
please fix issues asap.

About the Reviewer

Till now I have done only 1500 kms on my jawa.
But I took every ride(almost)for reviewing it since I got a Creta too I ride jawa for fun only. Recently I got attracted to touring on bikes and I desired a cruiser for long. Now lets discuss my findings.
1.Engine is very responsive
2.Braking is fantastic
3.looks just wow
4.For city rides its quite comfortable, but not so on touring
5.you won't get that thump of an RE
6.Horn could have been louder.
7.Top end is not very strong.
Now what I did , I installed peraks handlebar, changed stock seat, installed hydraulic clutch for ease in long rides.
I don't have any complaints on performance. Its cruising speed is around 80 km/h. If you ride it in 60 km/h you are more than relaxed and upto 80 its stays composed. Beyond 100 bike feels light, not planted. Sitting on jawa for more than 1hour may be painful at a stretch. Lights are kind of ok.
Overall I would like to give 7/10 .
If you want a cruiser with performance go for it. Its not that dull like RE.

About the Reviewer

well I don't brag about brand or Name, I simply love bikes I don't care what name it got. this bike is cool looking bike and in my village I am the only one got it. road presence is great. when you buy this motor cycle please keep in mind the problems you face and of-course you can make negatives about any bike there it is in this world. if you are ok with it and if you can deal with it then you can buy any bike. let's go into the problems you will face.
cons:
(1) when you buy this bike please do the first service as soon as possible because there may be clutch wire or throttle problem which will stop the bike in the middle of the traffic. ( it's not your raiding style which will make the bike to stop). (2) paint quality is not great you will get scratches so easy, so you have to do lamination or ceramic coating as soon as you buy it. (3) change the seat cushion(not the entire design) immediately when you buy, if you don't you will definitely have your butt on fire after 150km straight ride. and also add simple (not heavy looking)crash guard and back rest. (4) use chain cleaner and lube otherwise chain will get noisy. (5) ground clearance is not going to be a problem as per me but go slow when you are raiding with pillion
(6) service should be normal as per requirements I got bill for 1727/- and 1750 for first two services and a break pad for 390/-
pros: I won't tell you pros because I love this bike not because it's jawa or something. but it got good performance, looks, build quality and mileage as well. mileage is around 37 to 40 for me. but before first service I got 34.5 something'
well should you buy it?????
you should select which bike suits you and which bike you can handle as per your taste, height, your requirements, where you ride it (touring, off road, on road, commuter, sports, naked sports, high performance) etc. but if you like bikes buy any bike and deal with its maintenance and cons.
happy raiding bros and sis. peace out.

About the Reviewer

A power-packed beast with a 300cc engine.Regarding its mileage and power it's too great with a 6 shift gear box .... But if we consider its comfort i'm bit disappointed.. Not that much good for long rides.. Seat is a bit hard... Shock absorber are also little stiff... Overall if buying for small rides it's best...
