Guys please don't go with jawa.I have it's latest version 42 2.1 matte black purchased on march 2021 but I never thought it would be a disaster for me The biggest issue with jawa is it's ground clearance. You will loose confidence. 2 is the paint related issues. Guys it start rusting after 15 days.3rd is it's after sales service related. They are just selling there products anyhow no service.4 this is my personal experience with jawa that i want to share with you is rc related.. It's almost 4 month passed and i have not received my registration certificate of my bike. Trust me guys i am going to selling my bike.

Best bike for Highway Commutes .Good for City rides.

Linju Padannayil
Good and Powerful bike.Stunning Look. Don't ride like an Enfield. This is a short-stroke engine. Have to rave the engine to proper speed and shift gears..otherwise, it will knock..Till now no major rusting issues. Hope for the good.Service center experience till now is good. Jawa should continuously train its dealership employees on their product and customer dealings.No complaints faced till now.Jawa yezdi improved a lot in 2024 .My request for Jawa,Please improve the low-end torque.Please make the meter console better visible in sunlight.Not visible while riding in the afternoon sunlight.Please add a USB port considering its segment.Please provide a touring seat as an accessory in your dealerships. Stock seats are not good for long rides.Open maximum dealerships and improve your marketing.

Poor after sale service
14 weeks ago
Guru Darshan Sharma
The worst thing is after-sales service which is very poor for Jawa 42. I purchased it from Shree Dadu Dayal Automobiles which is the only dealer in Ludhiana CityI have never received a single call for service after purchaseSecond, the average of the bike is equal to the car average which is 20km/L which is the worst.

If one purchases this bike then the work is finished from the dealer side. Then you are solemnly responsible for all the services /costs. Dealer duty is over. This is the most poor thing I have noticed in Jawa. You have to note the time period for the service you will not get any calls related to the service.

Harshraj Kanesh
There is a need to change gears frequently. Talking about the seat, it is a little less comfortable for a long ride. The engine heat is too much during city riding. And if we talk about this pickup then it is the best 350/300 segment cruiser bike. And the Mileage is less than 30 before the first service.

Don't Buy for the Reasons below
15 weeks ago
Karthik C G
I bought it with a lot of expectations but it was fulfilled 1 year later I am having a lot of issues with the vehicle. No good service providers in any city. Not good response from any of service centres. No skilled mechanics are available. And maintenance is also high in cost. Do not suggest to anyone to buy. People should go for the brand which will have more service stations and will provide good service for the customer.

JAWA 42: LEGACY REDEFINED

Abhishek Arvikar
WHERE THE INDIAN MARKET FOR CRUISERS IS DOMINATED BY ROYAL ENFIELD'S JAWA AS A BRAND PROVIDES A CRUISER WITH NOT ONLY APPEALING LOOKS BUT PERMORMANCE WHICH LACKS IN MANY CRUISERS OF THIS SEGMENT. BUYING EXPERIENCE:JAWA WAS NOT MY 1ST OPTION BUT WHEN I TOOK THE TEST RIDE OF JAWA 42 BIKE I IMMEDIATELY UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS BIKE IS MADE FOR ME BUT WAS A LITTLE CONCERNED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AS JAWA HAS A REPUTATION OF AN AVERAGE DEALERSHIP AND CUSTOMER RELATION, TO MY SUPRISE THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHERE I PURCHASED MY BIKE WERE RESPONSIVE AND VERY HELPFUL IN PROVIDING EACH AND EVERY INFORMATION ABOUT THE BIKE AND SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES OF THE SAME. THE BIKE WAS IN A FLAWLESS CONDITION WITH A PROPER PRE DELIVERY INSPECTION FROM THE OFFICIALS CONDUCTED IN FRONT OF ME. THE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY AND SUPPORTIVE AND EXPLAINED EACH AND EVERY MINUTE DETAILS OF THE BIKE. NOT ONLY THE PROCESS WAS SMOOTH BUT WAS FAST AS WITHIN 5 DAYS OF BOOKING MY BIKE FOR A NOMINAL CHARGE OF RS2000 I GOT MY DELIVERY FROM THE CHINCHWAD DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN PUNE. THUS, BUYING EXPERIENCE OF JAWA WAS QUITE GOOD AND IT CHANGED MY IMPRESSION OF JAWA COMPLETELY IN A POSITIVE WAY. RIDING EXPERIENCE JAWA 42 COMES WITH AN UPRIGHT POSITION WITH FOOTPEGS ALIGNED NEAR THE ENGINE WHICH RATHER GIVES AN AGGRESIVE RIDING POSITION DIFFERENT THAN THE TYPICAL CRUISER BIKES FROM ROYAL ENFIELD OR HONDA.RIDING EXPERIENCE OF JAWA IS DECENT AS IT PROVIDES THAT RUSH THAT FEEL OF A NAKED SPORTS BIKE OF 200 OR 250 CC BIKE IN A CRUISER DUE TO ITS TERIFFIC RAW ENGINE IT PROVIDES A RIDE WHERE YOU SIMPLY WANT TO OPEN THE THROTTLE AND REV IT TO ITS LIMITS.

IT HAS A LIQUID COOLED ENGINE SO COOLENT LEVELS MUST BE MAINTAINED REGULARLY AFTER EVERY 2000km. REGULAR SERVICING OIL AND BRAKE FLUID CHANGE AFTER 3000KM IS MUST. IT HAS A FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM SO FUEL LEVELS MUST BE ABOVE THE RESERVE LEVEL. I SUGGEST PPF INSTALLATION ON THE BIKE AS SCRATCHES ESPECIALLY OVER THE FUEL TANK OCCUR AND HAPPEN VERY FREQUENTLY.

This is the best bike I've ever seen, I ride many bikes but I say that this is the best bike than RE and Yezdi, a lovely bike. I can ride this for 1 year and It is the best bike than Hunter 350. But the main problem is Jawa didn't provide more accesories with this. I bought it from off market.

Jawa should continuously train its dealership employees on their product and customer dealings.No complaints faced till now.Jawa yezdi improved a lot in 2024 .My request for Jawa,Please improve the low-end torque.Please make the meter console better visible in sunlight.Not visible while riding in the afternoon sunlight.Please add a USB port considering its segment.Please provide a touring seat as an accessory in your dealerships.

Poor after sale service
14 weeks ago
Guru Darshan Sharma
The worst thing is after-sales service which is very poor for Jawa 42. I purchased it from Shree Dadu Dayal Automobiles which is the only dealer in Ludhiana CityI have never received a single call for service after purchaseSecond, the average of the bike is equal to the car average which is 20km/L which is the worst.

If one purchases this bike then the work is finished from the dealer side. Then you are solemnly responsible for all the services /costs. Dealer duty is over. This is the most poor thing I have noticed in Jawa. You have to note the time period for the service you will not get any calls related to the service.

There is a need to change gears frequently. Talking about the seat, it is a little less comfortable for a long ride. The engine heat is too much during city riding. And if we talk about this pickup then it is the best 350/300 segment cruiser bike. And the Mileage is less than 30 before the first service.

Don't Buy for the Reasons below
15 weeks ago
Karthik C G
I bought it with a lot of expectations but it was fulfilled 1 year later I am having a lot of issues with the vehicle. No good service providers in any city. Not good response from any of service centres. No skilled mechanics are available. And maintenance is also high in cost. Do not suggest to anyone to buy. People should go for the brand which will have more service stations and will provide good service for the customer.

JAWA 42: LEGACY REDEFINED

Abhishek Arvikar
WHERE THE INDIAN MARKET FOR CRUISERS IS DOMINATED BY ROYAL ENFIELD'S JAWA AS A BRAND PROVIDES A CRUISER WITH NOT ONLY APPEALING LOOKS BUT PERMORMANCE WHICH LACKS IN MANY CRUISERS OF THIS SEGMENT. BUYING EXPERIENCE:JAWA WAS NOT MY 1ST OPTION BUT WHEN I TOOK THE TEST RIDE OF JAWA 42 BIKE I IMMEDIATELY UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS BIKE IS MADE FOR ME BUT WAS A LITTLE CONCERNED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AS JAWA HAS A REPUTATION OF AN AVERAGE DEALERSHIP AND CUSTOMER RELATION, TO MY SUPRISE THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHERE I PURCHASED MY BIKE WERE RESPONSIVE AND VERY HELPFUL IN PROVIDING EACH AND EVERY INFORMATION ABOUT THE BIKE AND SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES OF THE SAME. THE BIKE WAS IN A FLAWLESS CONDITION WITH A PROPER PRE DELIVERY INSPECTION FROM THE OFFICIALS CONDUCTED IN FRONT OF ME. THE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY AND SUPPORTIVE AND EXPLAINED EACH AND EVERY MINUTE DETAILS OF THE BIKE. NOT ONLY THE PROCESS WAS SMOOTH BUT WAS FAST AS WITHIN 5 DAYS OF BOOKING MY BIKE FOR A NOMINAL CHARGE OF RS2000 I GOT MY DELIVERY FROM THE CHINCHWAD DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN PUNE. THUS, BUYING EXPERIENCE OF JAWA WAS QUITE GOOD AND IT CHANGED MY IMPRESSION OF JAWA COMPLETELY IN A POSITIVE WAY. RIDING EXPERIENCE JAWA 42 COMES WITH AN UPRIGHT POSITION WITH FOOTPEGS ALIGNED NEAR THE ENGINE WHICH RATHER GIVES AN AGGRESIVE RIDING POSITION DIFFERENT THAN THE TYPICAL CRUISER BIKES FROM ROYAL ENFIELD OR HONDA.RIDING EXPERIENCE OF JAWA IS DECENT AS IT PROVIDES THAT RUSH THAT FEEL OF A NAKED SPORTS BIKE OF 200 OR 250 CC BIKE IN A CRUISER DUE TO ITS TERIFFIC RAW ENGINE IT PROVIDES A RIDE WHERE YOU SIMPLY WANT TO OPEN THE THROTTLE AND REV IT TO ITS LIMITS.

IT HAS A LIQUID COOLED ENGINE SO COOLENT LEVELS MUST BE MAINTAINED REGULARLY AFTER EVERY 2000km. REGULAR SERVICING OIL AND BRAKE FLUID CHANGE AFTER 3000KM IS MUST. IT HAS A FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM SO FUEL LEVELS MUST BE ABOVE THE RESERVE LEVEL. I SUGGEST PPF INSTALLATION ON THE BIKE AS SCRATCHES ESPECIALLY OVER THE FUEL TANK OCCUR AND HAPPEN VERY FREQUENTLY.

Best bike i have ever seen
20 weeks ago
Gourab Kumar Dash
This is the best bike I've ever seen, I ride many bikes but I say that this is the best bike than RE and Yezdi, a lovely bike. I can ride this for 1 year and It is the best bike than Hunter 350. But the main problem is Jawa didn't provide more accesories with this. I bought it from off market.
