  • Problems with JAWA/Yezdi

    Hi XBHPians,

    My brother bought & restored a JAWA 6 months before earlier there were no issues now a days started while riding we faced the following problems, friends kindly help me out,

    1. Accelerator got stuck up in the risen state itself, sometimes while riding it pulled fastly threatned him twice. When checked with local mechanics different opinions came not sure what to follow.(Like Change the handle bar as it is bent, carburator cup is new so the spring doesnt have smooth friction) Already change the cable twice.
    2. Petrol was leaking once it is ON position after few kicks while starting itslelf started pouring below the engine as if connected directly to the outlet
    3. There was a kind of heavy wobbling while riding in low rpms
    4. Back wheel was not in balanced state, while riding itself can feel its shaking. Mech asked to changed te tyres.


    PS: I'm an amatuer in biking any info would be helpful, bike is now in coimbatore.

                  hi all.

                  @ Muthu Sir: how are you? long time, Will speak to you tomorrow.
                  @ D-Man: Whats up with you? how are you?
                  @ POM: let me know we will catch up sometime.
                  Looks like your carb is not good. That might be the reason for all these. THis might be a problem with the card or the throttle assembly. Need to analyse the problem.

                      the petrol leakage - the float could be stuck. pls remove the thread cap of the carb cover assy and try to see if the float is stuck. this may also answer why ur acc cable is stuck.

                      the wobbling - it could be due to a bent rim or a bearing. check these before u change tyres. as far as i know, tyres and wobbling are not connected. even a bald tyre with correct air pressure must not wobble.

                      i am not an expert, but i own a yezdi. petrol leakage has happened to me before.

                      thanks & regards

                        HI V,

                        Certainly Tyres have got something to do with Wobbling. Let me give you two examples. Both are real incidents.
                        1. A friend of mine rode his Yezdi, punctured, still rode it for 12 Kms, The tyre Beading got bent, and hence it wobbled.
                        2. Tyres were not fitted properly on the Rims. Hence it caused Wobbling. We had to remove the tube and tyre was re-fitted again.

                            Hi All,

                            My Yezdi type B 1978 model is giving me no major troubles and gives me a healthy mileage of 28 in city. But I have a situation here, the bike does not go above 60 kmph. I showed it to my mechanic and he told me that the bike has got very good compression but the problem is with the electrical unit (The one on the other side of the gearbox) and that he notices the wiring is modified which is reducing power. He told me that the unit needs to be changed which will cost 4k! I want to know if this really is the issue or there could be something else...?

                              Are you from bangalore? and if so, who is your mechanic????

                              It is quite possible that because of the electrical unit the bike cant do high speeds. not 100% sure about the actual issue, lot of things to be eliminated. Do you know Lokesh of bangalore? meet him in person, and meet moosa bhai, who is a good mechanic there in bangalore.
