The Jawa 42 Bobber is a motorcycle from Jawa. It is currently on sale. With a 334 cc engine it sits in the 250–450 cc class.
Power comes from a 334 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 29.9 PS at 7,500 rpm and 30 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 169 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is lively, with easy overtakes and relaxed highway speeds.
It has a 6-speed manual gearbox.
Suspension is by telescopic forks, 35 mm at the front and mono shock absorber, gas filled, 7-step adjustable preload at the rear. Braking is by a 280 mm disc at the front and a 240 mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 18-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels — 100/90-18, 56H at the front and 140/70-17, 66H at the rear.
The seat is 740 mm off the ground, which is low and makes it easy to put your feet down. It weighs 177 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. Ground clearance is 145 mm — adequate, though tall speed breakers need care. The wheelbase is 1,485 mm. It carries 12.5 L of fuel.
For the Jawa 42 Bobber, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹2,799 doorstep service.
Its low seat also makes it approachable for shorter and newer riders.

Mechiee doorstep service
₹2,799
Mechiee's fixed doorstep service price for this model.
Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.
With Disc, 280 mm and Disc, 240 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.
A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.
A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.
A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.
This bike runs 100/90-18, 56H / 140/70-17, 66H tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.
Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
