Royal Enfield Continental GT User manual

Foreword
The Royal Enfield Continental GT is our lightest, fastest, and most powerful motorcycle in production. It’s a machine
with a story, a nod to motorcycling’s finest hour, the best expression yet of a cultural phenomenon that has simply
refused to fade away - the cafe racer.
And now you have one of your own. Congratulations!
Your meticulously re-engineered Continental GT debuts a twin downtube cradle frame chassis developed by the
renowned Harris Performance from UK. A new engine displaces 535cc and dollops of torque, when you need it. W ith
gas-charged rear shock absorbers from Paoli and Brembo disc brakes, you stay in charge. W ith an aerodynamic
seating position, Pirelli Sports Demon tyres and a remapped ECU, the new Continental GT is part homage, part
engineering tour-de-force.
This manual will help you to operate your motorcycle and guide you to wholly maintain it. W e have also provided tips
on safe riding and on minor adjustments for the care of your motorcycle. Please avail the four free services at the
nearest Authorised Service Point at the appropriate time to maintain your motorcycle in top riding condition. We
request you to carefully read the terms and conditions of warranty and other useful information given in this manual
before starting to use your Continental GT. Log on to the exciting world of Royal Enfield on www.royalenfield.com to
get to know more about the company, its products and news from time to time.
Welcome to the world of the Rockers, and enjoy your burn-ups atop this spectacular machine.
