Jawa 353

Initially Ideal Jawa imported these motorcycles as CKD units and assembled in Mysore and sold them as the construction of the factory was not complete.

This model was powered by a 248.5cc engine producing 12BHP, the transmission was of 4 speed and included an automatic de-clutching mechanism.

The fuel tank had a capacity of 10 liters and accommodated an aluminum console with a switch box and ammeter.

In this variant the silencer mufflers were upgraded with cigar type design and the console on the tank was made using Bakelite instead of Aluminum.

The last variant in 353 model series did not see much upgrades but was redesigned by keeping costs in mind, hence the fuel tank capacity was increased to 12 liters, the console on the tank was removed and was replaced with just a switch box on the top of headlight nacelle, the air filter was bigger with an induction silencer.
