Jawa 42 is not for 2
2 years ago
Karthikn
Buying experience was good First and foremost build quality must be improved like speedometer and indicators don't work effectively and efficiently. Ground clearance is not good, even on a small height bumps the exhaust pipe hits the ground. Being and reputed brand these two features should have been considered Pillion rider with medium height cannot sit for long distance as the height fro seat to the foot rest is very less. This causes knee pain in long drives. Driving experience on long drive is good. Smooth for rider. Ergonomics for rider is good . But not for pillion rider. Overall in my opinion Honda's new 350cc bike is much better option than jawa 42 and re.

It isn't a bike. Its a lemon!!
2 years ago
Chinmay
Plenty has been written about the way this bike looks. This isn't a motorcycle it's a lemon!!The bike started giving me problems right from the day I bought it. It stalled on numerous occasions while I was riding it just after delivery!! the local dealership and its service center are downright pathetic. Have to take the bike for service every Saturday!! every time one problem is solved two more crop up. It stalls at high speeds, racer jams within a short span, chain squeaks after riding 50 odd kms..Etc. Etc. It's a bouquet of issues. Request people to not buy this half-baked product.

Best servicing and low maintenance
2 years ago
Kailash Mugle
It’s a jawa alright – but it’s like no jawa you’ve seen before. It’s the same rugged reliability, but with a fresh, modern look. From its quality matte finish to dazzling chrome detailing, the forty two represents a brilliant new chapter in jawa history – a fresh invitation to the freedom of the open road. Continually pushing the envelope, the forty two introduces premium Italian engineering to legendary jawa build quality to create the ultimate motorcycling experience – with dreamy handling, smooth acceleration, and tight braking best servicing and low maintenance

My riding experience is good last 1 year i was used my jawa 42.. it wont cause any major issue. Am also facing rusting in my bike. Only issue facing. So build quality is missing other than that excellent bike. Heating issue am not facing. Road presence is good. And confidently ride and curse bike with good speed.

Poor reliability.
1 year ago
Kallol Sarkar
It's a horrible thing that happened in my life. At 7000 km had to change the magnetic coil, at 10000 engine started missing out, and at 15000 had to change gaskit, rectifier, and magnetic coil again. Stalling issue still persists after several reminders to the service center. Worst built quality and service experience ever.

Jawa 42 review
2 years ago
Amit Sarkar
It took near about a month to deliver the bike. Riding experience is good. Took it to 2 tour where distance is near about 450 to 500 km. Regarding the performance, there is no issue when it comes for long ride but the engine gets too hot in the busy road where we need to shift gear. Spare parts are not easily available. Need to purchase that from showroom. Start is a problem for this bike. Engine gets shut down quite often in busy road. Major draw back, it has not tubeless tires and there is issue with rusting.Over all performance is very good. Easy ride for long trip.

Change oil after 3000 km. It depends on the oil you use. I am using Motul. Tubeless tiers would definately be good for ride.

Great retro bike with bad quality control and very poor service (visakhapatnam)
3 years ago
Sanivada Avinash
1. Buying experience was ok not bad. But I've had a much better experience with brands like bajaj, tvs and so on. Clearly the dealers in vizag have a lot to improve. 2.initial riding experience was catastrophic as the dealer did not prepare the bike properly and gave me with an over tight fork which caused oversteer in turns and almost caused a fall. Even till date I've been visiting the service to get it rectified. All they do is tighten and loosen the fork. I am just getting fed up now. Even small bumps on the road are causing imbalance. Not at all confident inspiring. Suspension is on the stiff side. Seat comfort is not bad at all. I don't have any complaints regarding that.3. Looks wise it is cool and gets heads turning almost everywhere. Performance is good but not refined. Handling is average. Power is delivery flats out mid range but good pick up. Bs6 exhaust note is good though a bit calm and relaxed. 4. The servicing is the biggest issue i feel. There a lot of ecu errors which might render the bike lifeless. Battery died out in the first week and got replaced by the dealer. My jawa42 has some major handle bar / fork issues which the service centre is not able to rectify. They just keep giving stupid reasons like i should maintain correct air or should not drive too fast over pot holes ( which i never do). I am looking to take up this issue directly with the company.5. Pros : good looksNostalgic feelMasculine characterCons:Poor service Too many defective partsVery primitive ECU setup and software.

Everything thing in this bike is cool and it suits for me perfectly, but i waited for nearly 4 months after booking, the riding experience was kick-ass, I am heavy traveler I travel approximately 150-200 km per day, and i really love to ride it and i didn't get bored to drive it, in this price range this is extraordinary option.

My riding experience is good last 1 year i was used my jawa 42.. it wont cause any major issue. Am also facing rusting in my bike. Only issue facing. So build quality is missing other than that excellent bike. Heating issue am not facing. Road presence is good. And confidently ride and curse bike with good speed.

It is costly. If you like you will buy with an EMI. It very great bike. I use it mostly for long rides. And also comfortable. Very very interesting. Servicing costs it too much high.

Poor reliability.

Kallol Sarkar
It's a horrible thing that happened in my life. At 7000 km had to change the magnetic coil, at 10000 engine started missing out, and at 15000 had to change gaskit, rectifier, and magnetic coil again. Stalling issue still persists after several reminders to the service center. Worst built quality and service experience ever.

It took near about a month to deliver the bike. Riding experience is good. Took it to 2 tour where distance is near about 450 to 500 km. Regarding the performance, there is no issue when it comes for long ride but the engine gets too hot in the busy road where we need to shift gear. Spare parts are not easily available. Need to purchase that from showroom. Start is a problem for this bike. Engine gets shut down quite often in busy road. Major draw back, it has not tubeless tires and there is issue with rusting.Over all performance is very good. Easy ride for long trip.

Change oil after 3000 km. It depends on the oil you use. I am using Motul. Tubeless tiers would definately be good for ride.

Great retro bike with bad quality control and very poor service (visakhapatnam)

1. Buying experience was ok not bad. But I've had a much better experience with brands like bajaj, tvs and so on. Clearly the dealers in vizag have a lot to improve. 2.initial riding experience was catastrophic as the dealer did not prepare the bike properly and gave me with an over tight fork which caused oversteer in turns and almost caused a fall. Even till date I've been visiting the service to get it rectified. All they do is tighten and loosen the fork. I am just getting fed up now. Even small bumps on the road are causing imbalance. Not at all confident inspiring. Suspension is on the stiff side. Seat comfort is not bad at all. I don't have any complaints regarding that.3. Looks wise it is cool and gets heads turning almost everywhere. Performance is good but not refined. Handling is average. Power is delivery flats out mid range but good pick up. Bs6 exhaust note is good though a bit calm and relaxed. 4. The servicing is the biggest issue i feel. There a lot of ecu errors which might render the bike lifeless. Battery died out in the first week and got replaced by the dealer. My jawa42 has some major handle bar / fork issues which the service centre is not able to rectify. They just keep giving stupid reasons like i should maintain correct air or should not drive too fast over pot holes ( which i never do). I am looking to take up this issue directly with the company.5. Pros : good looksNostalgic feelMasculine characterCons:Poor service Too many defective partsVery primitive ECU setup and software.

Increase the preload on rear shock absorbers to reduce chances of bottom scraping on speed breakers.
