HOLY MOLEY!!!!!!!!! Thats an INCREDIBLE collection!!! You got these from Rajasthan?! I can't believe you have so many original Jikov parts.

Crazy acquisition man. Probably better than investing in mutual funds right now considering the way these are skyrocketing in value.

Cool. Thanks a lot KB100. I'll swing by when in Chennai next looking for parts. Also want to get my Dad's 1979 Yezdi Standard Type B resurrected. Its been standing neglected in my Grandad's garage since 1990.

@ray13; the shop is at puthupet in chennai, its name is sharif or sherif or something like that, along with the rk crank case i also saw a brand new classic crankcase too

Jayram, why would you like a Jikov? The Jikov, as beautiful as a carb as it is, is not the original carb which was fitted on the '96 Roadking. That was a Pacco. Why don't you get a new Pacco? Its far easier to get than a Jikov PLUS you will never be able to find a new Jikov. At best you will find a used one. Pacco's are good, consistent carbs. You've probably just had a crap piece OR one of your mechanics might have meddled with it. Unfortunately it happens a lot and very often the carb gets screwed up purely because an incompetent mechanics buggers it up. I recently bought a brand new Pacco (to keep as a spare) for Rs.1050


Thats a lovely bike Powertwin. May I ask why you choose to have that console cover/windshield? It looks rather incongruous on what is otherwise a lovely bike. As for the flower head being a stock part, this is only the second time I'm hearing of that. The original flower heads were made for a few of the Standard Type B's in the late 70's but that was it. I am told however that when the factory was shutting down there were a number of flower heads that were being sold off along with the Roadkings. Apparently they were experimenting with fitting it on the crank case but angles created ended up easily snapping the bolts fitting it to the crank case. I am told however that people bought the flower heads when the factory was being cleared and then fitted it to the Roadkings.

I would be very grateful if you can tell me where this place is. I need a complete Roadking engine case. Now while this is mostly useless to most people, my bike has a crack on the case. While this hasn't been a problem so far (I've ridden Bangalore to Chennai and back on it), I'd still like to swop cases before it becomes an issue. And yes I already know about the engine no. being embossed on one part of the case but I have a workaround for that.

I'll post again with a few pictures of my bike and a couple of other interesting ones which I've come across here in Bangalore in the last few months.

Cheers

p.s. I've been writing a blog about my Yezdi (admittedly hasn't been update in a couple of months) but I don't know whether I would be infringing any guidelines by posting the link here. There is some useful information on it (I think) regarding Yezdis and part-sourcing here in Bangalore so moderators please do let me know if its all right if I post it.

Nopes !!
It was not like that, Though Both the FLOWER HEAD seems similar,but the difference is as this>>>
Yezdi :* Has 4 holes to fit into the crank case.
** Head combustion Chamber volume is low then of RK's
Head, with more wider Squish chamfering star point
(since there is difference in squish band for YZ & RK)
Road King : * Has 5 holes to suit the RK's crank case
** Head combustion chamber volume is bit high
( one can visually observe this)compared with
Road king.
*** Chamfer starts very narrow,compared to Yezdi

Hello sir (ullasn),
Though i have not been to this thread many times, just saw your posting ( you might be in your forties end like me)
Think you have participated many Road rallies like " Sissors action , south india, etc.," with Nanjappa s & sivas...
What all you said about RK & RD...Holds Good at most times.,but you have concluded that Expansion chamber doesn't help in increasing Efficiency ( POWER, Torque stuff).
Dunno you were talking about RD or RK,...hope its Road King
Any Two stroke motor, with a proper expansion Chamber ( Designed for street or track or motocross) combined with proper jetting will sure to give you the best results!! ( for same configuration engine with almost same condition)
*** I have not taken performance Ignition parts in to account!!
Shall we start a thread for Performance mods in Jawa bikes,provided not sacrificing the life of the Engine as we all know getting quality parts is going to be a Herculean task..FOR EVER BIKE..'coz its FOR EVER VALUE

Exhausts!!

Hello VK,
Yes its Original !!
Can you plz tell me ( us) ,what made you think so??
I am eager to know about things like this !!

Powertwin very well maintained baike, loved the visor

are they original exausts...they dont look like one.

beautifully maintained bike it is.

^^ It looks classic! Yezdi is eternal! However, I am not impressed by that plastic which is trying to hide the console!

My Road King with Flower Head

Here is my Yezdi RK with " Flower Head" ...

^^ ill pm you the details of the person to get in touch with.

Hi JD,

My name is Jayram and I am from Hyderabad. I saw your post and it clearly shows the hard work that you have put in sourcing these parts.

I have a 1996 Roadking and I am looking for the original Jickov Carb which I have not been able to source in hyd. Just wanted to check, if you can help me source one for my RK would a be huge favour. The one on my bike, the Pacco, is giving me a lot of trouble. The float is getting stuck time and again, which increases the RPM suddenly and the bike flutters a lot. Let me know the price as well, would be waiting to hear from you soon.

It seems you avoid PM s, okies call me @ 9363146862, The guy has the stuff, we'll try
