Jawa 42 FJ Price in Bangalore

I had brought this bike in the month of Jan 2025 and have rode around 1300km so far. So talking about the positives,
- It's got good looks and a brand reputation that can outshine any of its segment bikes.
- As the Company said, I can see the improvement in its quality.
- Greater riding comfort, powerful torque and stunning performance.
- Easy to maintain.
- Paint quality on the tanks and the dual silencers
- Easily commute in heavy traffic.
- Huge options of aftermarket accessories are available and it also it looks stunning.
Now coming to the things I am slightly disappointed.
- Mileage (I have done a full tank mileage testing on various road conditions and it's after 1st service)
A little bit of open throttle within the heavy traffic gave me a shocking mileage of 12kmpl.
Average riding on a lesser traffic gave me the mileage of around 21 - 25kmpl.
Riding on the open highways with zero traffic and maintaining a speed upto 75-80 gave me 34 - 37kmpl. I believe it's again the riding pattern that matters. The lesser the use of the clutch and brakes, yields more mileage and also maintains a stable speed.
- Heating issues still continue to have despite of the big fan radiator being introduced in this model. I assume most of the bikes with over 300 cc will have the same issue.
- I could see some rusting specially on the bolts beneath the engine.
- I can feel the good amount of vibrations after the first service.
My final opinion about this bike.
If the customer support, after-sales will be improved, then it would be better and people will get trust on the brand, though the bike has some minor issues which can be rectified. This way we can give some sort of respect to the legendary Brand and keep the blood line running more stronger, just like we take care of our parents and give them the respect.
Other than this, the bike is awesome to ride, and it has good road presence.

About the Reviewer

I am riding jawa 42 FJ since last few months on daily basis for around 50-70 km per day with roads including highway and traffic congested narrow streets as well and I found the ride very comfortable with more power compared to royal Enfield hunter or classic 350 so yes it is a good choice to have jawa 42 FJ.

About the Reviewer

Riding - Excellent to ride, although when we have to downshift frequently when reducing speed frequently in traffic.
False Information before buying.
1) The USB port shows available on multiple websites - But it's not there. For any new buyers please check this before proceeding.
2) the instrument cluster is very bad during bright sunlight. Not visible at all.
I would suggest JAWA FJ team should recall this instrument cluster as soon as possible.
