Yezdi Model B Restoration

In the historical backdrop of bike generation not many brands remain in a cruiser lover mind, of which JAWA is one of the brand since mid-1930, creation situated in Czech Republic, JAWA and YEZDI were two brands under a similar umbrella. The well-known catchphrase for YEZDI that pulled in parcel of driver Worldwide and in India "Forever Bike Forever Value" will be recalled by all YEZDI and JAWA fans.

Presented in India in 1960 by Iranian family under Ideal Jawa India ltd, creation unit situated in Mysore Karnataka, the cruiser was a colossal achievement and was known for its exemplary structure, rough form quality, an Auto Clutch, a kicker that doubles as gear shifter and an exceptional exhaust note that one can beyond any doubt say that JAWA or a YEZDI is some place close by.

The chase was on to get a JAWA or a YEZDI and restore it, it took a couple of months to look for one, and we spotted one and the documentation for the motorcycle was right, this was an relief as I dint need to experience the torment from the Regional Transport Department (RTO).

The Motorcycle was running fine since the day it was bought, yet with heating issues and oil channel from the chamber head, on 14 Feb 2011 the restoration project began, we found an accomplished Yezdi master from Bangalore, It took around a half year to reestablish the bike, it was stripped down to the Chassis, whole body work was checked for rust and it was cleared, crisp electrical wiring and restored speedo meter, break drum, new rims, spokes and tires, another paint employment to the first color as recorded in registration document. She ended up being a shocker.

It was a captivating experience specifically from the point we found the Yezdi and the time we took to reestablish it, the underneath is a pictorial voyage of the entire undertaking. Sadly I expected to surrender this gem and perhaps pass on memories when we moved from India. In any case, the worship for Yezdi will dependably exist.

Welcome news is that relaunch of this famous retro cruiser brand in India;; the first batch of Jawa will be meet their happy owners the first week of April 2019.
