Jawa 42, launch details
Classic Legends has applied its learnings from the Jawa 350 and Yezdi Adventure, and reworked the Jawa 42’s engine. The result is a 294cc liquid-cooled motor that now produces 27.32hp and 26.84Nm. Jawa has also equipped the 42 with a slip and assist clutch, and has included a gear-based throttle mapping for smoother gear shifts. The company has also added a redesigned balancer weight and a new hub-type balancer gear to reduce vibrations. Jawa has also changed the mounting point for the rear shocks and has added a new seat for better comfort.
