Описание к видео Project 42 (Jawa42 longtermer) EP1

As mention in our previous video ..   • JAWA bike kan dawng..  .. we have been given this bike to be used as a long term test unit and maybe experimented a bit..😉
So, our fist step is to rectify the ground clearance problem.
We've fitted a rear shocker risers. Although we're not a big fan of this type of customizing, this is one of the easier steps to get better ground clearance without major modifications.
The shocker raisers are provided by Jawa Dealer ( TT Motors) and we have no idea where they sourced the product from.
While we were working on the shockers we changed the oil ( Motul 7100 10W50).
Well... the verdict is.. the rear shocker raisers worked much better then we expected. It changes the geometry a bit, making it a little front weight bias now, which in turn makes the bike handle like most modern sporty naked bikes. But, the downside is the resr axle nut is scraping the exhaust a bit (we'll try to rectify this with minimal modification) and as we have already added one step of preload to the rear shocker we have to go back one notch as the ride was a little harsh.
Going back a notch makes a lot of difference as the ride now is supple with the added benefits of greater ground clearance. The geometry again changes a bit , making the front end steers a bit slower ( but still a great improvement from the stock bike) but this is not a big problem as it still handles much better then the Stock bike.
Now we can exploit the spirited engine characteristics and the sporty handling nature to it's limits without the fear of crashing when attacking the corners..
We will be experimenting more with the bike in future episodes..stay tuned. 🤩🤟
