Re: Jawa & 42 Ownership Experience

Ok. Apparently Lambda sensor is something different. If that was changed, I doubt it would fix the issue that you're currently facing. I don't know what the sensor which detects tilted bikes are called. I guess that needs changing.

Edit: It's called roll-on sensor.

Re: Jawa & 42 Ownership Experience

Update: The technician checked the bike and found that the power supply is way less than required so he changed a new battery. Now the bike turns off when riding slow and in 1st gear but it starts immediately. Overall not happy with the result but at least it has not let me stranded in the road. I will ride for a couple of days and report the issue again.

Re: Jawa & 42 Ownership Experience

Cool. I'm seeing a lot of reports with regards to battery. They should've gone with Amaron batteries instead of Exide. I've always had bad experience with Exide batteries. My older bike had an Exide and it was losing charge way faster than usual. Even replacement battery didn't last long. Changed it to Amaron and the problem never occurred again.

Re: Jawa & 42 Ownership Experience

Does anyone know where the battery is located
Checked both the side covers on the standard and couldn’t find it (it’s my uncles)

It was siting for 2 weeks and now it doesn’t start

When I click the ignition switch it shuts and starts the fuel pump again

Guess it’s a low battery

Re: Jawa & 42 Ownership Experience

It should be under the seat. you need to remove the seat to access, this is what my BIL said when they changed his battery.

Re: Jawa & 42 Ownership Experience

Yup. It's under the seat.

Jawa & 42 Ownership Experience

Do I need to remove some screws or is there a key slot for removing the seat?

Re: Jawa & 42 Ownership Experience

Two screws as per the Owner's Manual. Check Page 20.

Hi All JAWA owners,

I am going to get mine this week. Please can you let me know which cover is best for JAWA 42?

[COLOR=#111111 !important]Raida RainPro Bike Cover for Jawa Forty Two [/COLOR]

BIKEBLAZER Semi Automatic Bike Body Cover

or any other?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Jawa & 42 Ownership Experience

I got the Solimo Bike Cover for Royal Enfield which fits Jawa 42 quite well. Those semi automatic won't last long from what I've read.

Got my 1st service done and most of the quirks that I had with my Jawa 42 has been fixed except the patchy fuel gauge. They said they've escalated the issue with Jawa since they've got many complaints but are yet to hear from them.

Re: Jawa & 42 Ownership Experience

The Jawa Perak will be launched on Nov 15th as per news reports. As per the source, Jawa has sent media invitation for launch of new motorcycle on 15th November.

Its the first factory custom motorcycle in India and a bobber in the segment. Last year at the Jawa launch event, Jawa announced that the Perak is price at Rs.1.89 lakhs. We should wait till 15th November to see if the price is still the same. And Hopefully Jawa will clear out their delivery and quality issues before the launch of this new motorcycle considering many Expected-To-Be Jawa owners are in a great dilemma about the long term reliability of the bike and A.S.S

JAWA 42 : The Explorer.

Dears,

I purchased the very first (and the last) bike in my life. This is a brief experience I am sharing with you all here. Not a review as I am no way an expert in this topic.

My physical attributes : Age : 44 + , 6 ft height, weight : 75 Kg., (Diabetic, only one eye useable )

Driving experience: A four wheel driver for last 8 years. currently driving a Skoda Rapid, Love long drive @ high speed. My first car was Punto 1.3.
Also riding a Mahindra Flyte scooter (bought for wife) for last 10 years. My the way I am a explorer in nature and love trekking in Himalayas alone /in group.

NEVER ride a BIKE (with gear) in life.

Why now? :

From the beginning of the career ( by the way now I am a SAP Project Manager) I had a dream of buying a classic 350/500 but due to many many reasons that never happened. But the dream never died. In last 2 years I wanted to by classic 350/500 again but found a lot issues with this bike and once JAWA launched found 100% match what I am looking for. Exactly!

Purpose :

Touring. Not to city ride. Like to explore week ends from Bangalore and Himalaya.

Booking: Because of some reason did not booked online. I booked on 2nd January @ Square Auto , Koramangala , Bangalore. Paid by card. No Test drive. Booked Nebula Blue dual ABS. The dealer tole in 8 months I will get it! I was fine with the promise.

But once october passed I got angry and told coming to cancel the booking. They tole bike is ready for delivery! I visited the showroom and paid the 100% and other papers. delivery date set on Nov. 8th.

Delivery :

Reached on time. But the delivery took 3 hrs. for me as 2 other delivery made before mine. My friend arrived on the spot (as I cannot drive the bike , that time)
We took full take fuel ( IOC premium) and gone to Shibaji nagar derler service center to buy & fix guard, back rest etc for 3800.00 From there gone to accident ganesh temple for puja and then back to home by 9 pm.

Riding Experience:

I am Loving it! Excellent experience. As due to my lack of time drove still 170 Km only. Still learning. Gone upto 3 rd gear, 50 KM speed only. But Bangalore roods, it sucks.

First cons:

1: Seat is very hard. Planning to buy the seat cover (will be offered by JAWA) or make it from Rao seat, Shivaji Nagar ( approx. 2500).
2: Need to change the mirrors. The JAWA mirrors are useless.
3: Scooter horn in a Retro Bike ?? Need to upgrade the horn.
4: With full 2 adult persons GC is a issue. Both side & center stand hit the conners and bumps.

Pros:

1: Very bright Headlight. Will add AUX lights later for touring.
2: Very share bite front brake and good rear brake.
3: Suspension is very good.
4: Well balanced machine. Lighter that classic 350/500 and easy to control.
5: No much heat in the lag side.
6: Roaring very nicely. Grab attention & respect on road.
7: No miss gear found still now. No other issues found still now.

Safety First:

Bought till now:

1: Rynox Knee guard ( still never used) : 3.5 K
2: MT Blade Helmet : 8K
3: Aspida cotton balaclava : 350
4: Viaterra Gloves : 4700
5: Viaterra tail cum shaddel bag ( 62 Ltrs.) : 3900 approx.

Planning to buy :

6: Rynox Stealth Evo jacket/ pant
7: Riding Boots (Forma ? or Falco? )

Thanks for reading.
