Upcoming Jawa Motorcycle Spotted Testing

Just last month, Jawa teased its new-generation engine, and announced that the motorcycle will be revealed on November 15. The Jawa 300 has now been spotted testing ahead of its official reveal. Looking at the heavily camouflaged spy shots, the motorcycle looks almost production ready.

The test mule has been designed with proper retro-modern approach, with a round headlamp up front and easy-to-reach handlebars. It features a very plush-looking seat with a rather simple-looking grabrails We are unclear how the instrument console is, thanks to the heavy taping. The front end gets telescopic forks with a fork cover that looks a lot similar to the one found in Royal Enfield Bullet / Classic models. The spoke wheels look similar-sized both front and rear, and it looks like they’re shod with MRF tyres. At the rear, the motorcycle employs a pair of gas-charged shock absorbers.

While the front end comes with a disc brake, Jawa has opted for a drum unit at the rear, presumably to keep the costs down. Going by the latest safety norms, expect a single-channel ABS to be offered as standard.

Powering the motorcycle is a 293cc, BSVI-compliant DOHC, liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor produces 27PS of power and 28Nm of torque. The dual exhaust has an interesting layout in the test mule, as it looks like it converges under the frame and again diverges. This is in stark contrast to how the exhausts were in the engine reveal.

The upcoming Jawa motorcycle will compete with the Royal Bullet 350 and Classic 350. Going by the brand’s heritage and retro-modern approach, the bike is likely to command a premium pricing over the Royal Enfields.

Also read: Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC: First Ride Review While every other bike manufacturer seems to be coming up with its own vision of what a neo-retro scrambler should look like, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC has stuck to its guns by staying as close to the original British scramblers of yore as possible.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...
