A Brief History of the Marque

František Janeček began manufacturing Wanderer motorcycles under licence in 1927 in order to diversify the interests of his arms factory. Having bought the tooling for a 500cc model, in 1929 he rebranded the machine with the name JAWA, derived from the first two letters of the words "Janacek" and "Wanderer". It was a shaft-drive model with a pressed steel frame, powered by a 498cc OHV engine.

In 1930 the English designer George-William Patchett joined the new company, resulting in faster, more robust chain-driven machines which although not commercially successful did well in competition. Villiers-licenced deflector two-strokes were incorporated into a lightweight range which proved popular, and in 1934 they also built DKW style flat-top two-strokes.

The 1930s also saw middleweight 350s of SV and OHV configuration, also Patchett designed, and just before war broke out they built the Josef Jozif designed 98cc Robot. Patchett returned to England for the duration to work for Royal Enfield and other arms manufacturers, but Jawa did not remain idle during the Nazi occupation. They secretly developed an advanced single-cylinder twostroke with telescopic front suspension, plunger rear and an automatic clutch. In 1947 they took over the Ogar factory and resumed production, producing the highly successful two-strokes as well as exotic DOHC racers. Subsequently they incorporated the Eso marque and began producing speedway machines.

Many variations incuding belt, chain and bevel drive

During the mid-1930s the company also produced a range of cars and utility vehicles.

In 1968 they imported Italjet components to produce the Type 23 Mustang which was marketed both in Czechoslovakia and, rebadged, in Germany. Initially it was made with many parts supplied by Italjet, but later all parts were produced locally. The horizontal two-stroke engine had an appearance somewhat similar to the Motobi/Benelli Egg. The model continued until 1981.

Norton dominator w/reg luckhurst 500cc jawa.
Hi,
I have one of these engines, it runs methanol. I might convert it to petrol but also might just sell it off and get a pre-unit triumph engine for the bike... My goal is to have a Triton of some sort that I ride around town, the bike is currently a race bike.
Do you have any idea of what I could get for the engine? Not sure what I should ask for it. I also have a 500DT Jawa that's in pieces but apparently works if put back together.
Best,
Adam

jawa 350
hi guys, i really enjoyed reading some articles on the classic motorcycle website, in particular the 'too much smoke' by Andy Reid on older JAWA's and CZ's. I am trying too find more detailed and practical information on the porting, timing, gas flowing , and general performance set-ups for the JAWA 350.. it appears not be too easy to find this on the old interwebs, so would like to find some good articles or valuable knowledge from the old-timers..

634/638 Differences
I am very curious about the differences between the 634 and 638 model engines. Clearly, the cases, case covers, clutch, cylinders, and heads are differnet. But are the rest of the internals the same?
Thanks

Hello, I will talk to the owner concerning the picture and get back with you.
I used to work for a Jawa/CZ dealership in the mid 70's. He had an unusual Jawa that may be of interest to you. It was used for training purposes and had dual controls. I rode it a few times and it got quite a few looks. Actually I did a 200 word article on the old bike but never found anyone interested in including it in a magazine. You may have some ideas there. Thanks Doug 

  • How extraordinary! I've never before heard of such a thing as a dual control motorcycle. You're not pulling my leg by any chance, are you? :) I'd be delighted to put the article on the site, if that would suit you.
  • .............
It is true. The instructor rode in the back and had the larger set of handlebars (for leverage) with the pupil of front with the short bars. This motorcycle actually started the Motorcycle Safety foundation training program in the United States. It was first used by Southern Illinois University Carbondale. I do not know where you live but the Jawa is usually on display at Barber Motorsports Speedway Museum in Birmingham, AL. The dealer was a big fan of Jawa/CZ and the American Motorcyclist Association. I will give the AMA a chance to publish the article. Would it be unethical to submit it to more than one place at the same time?

Thanks Doug

jawa economy
Hi Mate, i have a 1992 Jawa Economy type 210 it ran perfect when i first got it then it failed the MOT on a front tyre, so while i was sorting the tyre out i also took off the exhaust and cleaned it and decoked it the best i could, i also put a new spark plug in. The hole leading from the exhaust up into the engine i also put my finger up it to clean out any carbon deposits, when the tyre was done i put it all back together again, i put the choke on and then tryed to kick it up, as the engine was turning there was this allfull rattle and knocking sound coming from the engine, it sounded like the engine was a complete wreak, eventually it started up and now sounds as good as it did when i first got it, please have you any idea what caused this and have i damaged the engine in any way, maney Thanks Bob........

I'm not familiar with the coils on that bike, but it's likely that something from a similar vintage British bike or even an early VW will do the trick. Ed.

1947 jawa 250
My Dad has the 47' in an out-building. It a shame it hasn't been keep in a better place. I'm not sure where all the parts are.
.............
I don't have any pictures. I'm in Virginia and the bike is south of New Orleans Louisiana. When I was 14 or 15 my Dad said if I could get it running I could ride it around the neighborhood. I was successful but with some difficulty. I remember having problems getting electrical parts, gas parts, and piston rings. I road it for a short time before people in the neighborhood started complaining about the smoke. I thought I was doing a service by spraying for mosquitoes. It has been in out building ever since.

electrical problem
1973 jawa 350 motorcycle
one cylinder not firing, new plugs and points seem fine, plus theres power to both coils
canada

Have you checked that both spark plugs are firing? Ed.Apparently, so say's my friend that owns the bike, yes both plugs are firing. But I am wondering if the coils maybe breaking down or , maybe a plug wire is faulty. If so what is the preferred way of checking these faults. Any help would be greatly appreciatiated. Thanks in advance.

Bob

Sorry, I haven't worked on one of those since about 1973. Is it possible to swap the plugs around in order to check whether it is actually an ignition problem? Ed.

Jawa, no model no. visible
I just came into a small (25-50cc) Jawa pedal-start motorcycle that seems to be in decent condition, but I need to replace one part (a cap, perhaps an air intake, that sits over the interchange between the throttle line and the gas line). Could you help me by putting me in touch with someone who could help me find out what model this bike is and where I could find replacement parts? Thank you very much.

Question
Hi, I am from the Czech republic. It is the the place where Jawa motorbikes are made. I am sure, you know that. But there is a opportunity to buy some old Jawas from czech. Some old Jawas for example: Jawa 250 from 1963 Is for 150 euros, Jawa 350 from 1992 is for 500 euros. I think these prizes are very low and thats why Jawa is here a home motorbike producer.
And there is a big choice.
Please ask your friends too.
If you have an interest, please answer.
Thank you very much. Bye.
