Continental GT
The Pre-loaded spring
tension shockabsorber
is of adjustable type i.e.,
the spring tension can be
increased or reduced.
The spring tension of the
rear shockabsorbers
can be increased or
decreased to suit
different riding conditions.
The adjuster provided at
the bottom of the spring
has five notches and can
be rotated using a
special ‘C’ spanner.
Rotate adjuster “clock-
wise” to increase spring
tension and “anti-
clockwise” to reduce
spring tension.
Ensure the spring
tension is the same in
both the left and right
side shockabsorbers
After
adjustment,
ensure the adjuster
notches are seated
correctly against the peg
in the shockabsorber.
CAUTION:
Riding the motorcycle with
the notches adjusted in
different positions can
cause loss of control and
may lead to an accident.
Regularly inspect shock-
absorbers and front forks
for leaks. Replace worn
parts. Worn parts can
adversely affect stability
and handling.
Special Tool:
C Spanner
NOTE:
Ensure no fouling of any
accessories with rear Shock-
absorber. Check for
sufficient gap availability
between the shockabsorber
and the attachments when
the rear end of the motor-
cycle is fully loaded and the
shock absorbers are fully
compressed.
