What small side oval pannier racks do you have? Thinking about adding to my G310GS

Hi there! When someone calls me, the headset answers automatically. How can I turn that off?

Best bike for ADV learners off road. Great commuter too. Wud never take mine on long distance highway trip. Too buzzy, and wind shock prone. Fatigue a factor on highway.

Someone find a way to put a 21” wheel on the front and throw my money at you!

I have heard of guys doing 160 kmh. That’s a hair over 100 mph. Try it, apparently this bike will do it.

16 instead of 15 teeth is what I mean.......

In The Netherlands highway speed is 60 mph, you can ride it all day! Also another sprocket at front, 15 instead of 14 teeth will bring more comfort and less fuel consumption. For longer rides another [more comfortable] saddle is an idea.

Did you ever get the crash bar with Highway pegs?

I did my msf class on the R model, once I save some I'm gonna buy a 2024 g310gs hopefully the GS is just as easy to maneuver at low speeds

I have one of these and I honestly don’t understand really taking them (adventure bikes) off-road. An actual dirt bike or dual sport is such a better tool for the job.

Mine has a 17 tooth front and is 8 seconds flat … and hits 70 mph in 4th @ 8700 rpm. Love that baby GS!

I'm thinking of getting the baby gs after riding the R variant at my msf class. Going from riding my 05 klr650 for a month before hand to that kinda showed me the advantages of a light and short bike, and for 90% of my adventures the g310gs would be fine and the other 10% I feel I could live with or take the klr instead

Wouldn't complain about a 400cc upgrade. Did not notice any type of wobble on long interstate ride with crosswinds. I do not like single as much multi cylinders for highway use. It is surprisingly good overall though.

I can't imagine going back to a small 1 cylinder for anything but city commuting or offroading, being used to 100hp+ it would drive me mad on the highways!

Beautiful setup, mate 👍🏻

So at 6’6 300 what should I buy?

this is epic i need a tutorial

You had the worst review dude haha. I think you don’t like bmws or don’t like small bikes. Because I’m 6’2 190 and I fit like a glove and have put 19000 miles on mine. Long rides, commuting, off road. Never had a problem passing. Never had a power problem in the Colorado Rocky Mountains it does amazing. Leave the small bike reviews to the people who are unbiased.

Whats your helmet, the one on the cover? Looks nice.

I have the 1st generation one. I wanted to try a lightweight bike but I must say this is the worst bike I ever had. Engine, especially over 30 degrees celsius is not smooth, throttle responce is not precise, it vibrates, gearbox smoothness is very variable, suspensions don’t have a consistent hydraulic. Engine and gearbox got considerably better with Motul 7100 but still far from any japanese or even chinese product. Ktm is much better in any aspects. Try a Cf Moto 450 MT and it is on another level. I cannot recommend it in terms of riding pleasure but i must admit that it is very reliable, never an issue. P.S. Advantec oil by Bmw is shit, at least on this one.

Nice

Seems like a good all-around bike 😊 i think you meant to say: you won't pass a semi going 75mph in 2 secs. It seems comparable to the Honda 350s of the 70s. It's a reasonable bike.

I have your bike's twin sister-picked it up last February, with 1100 miles. Have only ridden my 1200GS once since getting the 310, its been so much fun. I'm 68 now, and have been riding GSs since my 90 R100 GD/PD. Love them all, but this little guy is a blast-and so light and easy to handle. I'll keep them both until I'm no longer able to ride...thanks for your video!!

I notice a great gap between this, and BMW's big boy adventure bikes. You jump from this straight to f800gs with it's 900cc nearly 90hp motor and there's just nothing in-between. BMW are so well known for their ADVs that I feel like somebody in their marketing department not doing their job. Can you just imagine how many of these they could sell if they gave it an ever so slightly larger motor? Maybe a 400-500cc thumper, or even a twin. Just so someone who likes the design language of BMW's adventure bikes could stay "with the brand" if they so choose. And progress from more beginner friendly to something slightly larger and more affordable than going straight into serious big motor adventure bikes, which honestly are a handful to control in the dirt. I think this is where Kawasaki KLR650 sits, and why it is a definitive adventure bike for many. It's just a great sweet spot in terms of power.

are you planning to change your sprockets? Its a pain on the freeway imo, I find it very hard to keep it at 7RPMs because sometimes you're just going with the flow of traffic. But I'm just worried about wear on the engine at this point. Have you gone on group adventure rides/trips? ITs fine when youre with your buddies but most are on bigger bikes and might not like waiting for the slower bikes. But nice bike dude, got the same 40th anniversery color way.

Ridden this same bike quite a bit and I found it was amazingly fun up to about 55, over 55 it gets very buzzy and the vibrations are annoying to me. Others may have a different opinion or have addressed it. Also found it's a bit small framed for folks over 5'11", but that may just be my specific frame and preference.

The 2019-2021 the bmw Gs 310 Engine was an incredible power 🔥 and suspension .

Can you only have 2 people on the connected at one time ?

I have a 2019 G310GS and I love it. I never use the ABS switch but I'm glad I have it for the very rare steep downhill off road or other times I might want to skid the rear tire. I've done all of the scheduled maintenance and it's been easy and cheap to keep. I've ridden it on the highway at 70-75 for a couple of hours at a time on occasions and it works, but I bought the baby GS for my 60th birthday for back roads, gravel or dirt roads, mild off road and moto camping and it's great for that. I've done a lot of little upgrades and still have a few to go. I'm going to get the Seat Concepts seat, probably the tall version. I have an inexpensive Amazon knock-off airflow seat and it helps a lot by adding a little bit of air circulation under me that manages to be more comfortable in the summer and winter. Do not strap a tall tail bag on the rack and pillion and ride on the highway with a strong crosswind. The tail bag acts as a sail and because it's so high it has a lot of leverage to tilt the bike over and slide it sideways. It's terrifying. Otherwise, the G310GS is a fun and easy bike to ride that is quite capable on and off road. I wish it had a larger fuel tank, maybe with lower lobes that acted as additional fairing for the legs.

Gear changes are a pain in the Butt...otherwise a lovely bike...finding neutral impossible..using a seat 3d mesh...a heavenly experience for your Butt...❤

Any other updates about the product? I’m thinking of buying one, just want to know if you or anyone has a conclusive thought for me.

Was thinking of getting this, bit scared and skeptical now since you said it can wobble very easily whenever it hits something slightly, something similar like speed wobbles. Is this common to happen, and if so should I still get this bike or no.

Add air. The manual psi ratings are for off road. I do 34/38 psi for freeway/road use. Rode from Sacramento to San Francisco twice now. Only issue is heavy wind blasts due to bike weight. I have rear suspension tightened to max and lowered from 1.5”

Just bought a 310 gs today and was not happy with the stock seat. Felt like I was being thrust forward rather than a relaxed seating. As a result I felt like I was sliding forward at all times. my pant legs rode up to the top of my boots. Upper inner thighs tired quickly. As if the seat was too wide. Im 6'2" 200lbs. Any comments or suggestions?

Your You Tube channel popped up and I recognized the area as I live in the Portland/Vancouver area. The other part is I have a Z400 and a Duke 390 and you are talking about your BMW 310 GS, a smallbore motorcycle. I discovered the joy of riding small motorcycles, as they are fun and very versatile at what they can do! You have a good understanding of what your motorcycle is and what it is not and when one understands the strengths and weaknesses of smallbore motorcycle, then they become fun. I have a smile every time I ride either bike! Have many years of enjoyment on your bike, it is a hoot to ride small motorcycles!

I pulled the trigger on a 310gs against a 411 himalayan simply because this bike wont crack in half and cause an accident.....wish it had an engine with more torque and spoke wheels but as its gonna be my city commuter i think im ok

I’m a truck driver looking to get a G310 as my very first bike. Anyway, when you said it doesn’t have a lot of passing power, and the locked it in fifth, I suddenly realized how fast most bikes must be, because, compared to a Peterbilt, that Beamer flew! 😂

My guy, have you by any chance tried like a front sprocket more/less teeth? Heard some say a 17 teeth front can be good? Personally if I ever wanna try change anything about the sprockets then its having to shift less or more acceleration. As loosing some top speed aint an issue for me

I purchased the same bike that you have, with 1100 miles from my local dealer...have not ridden my R1200 GS LC since getting the 310. I'm 68 years old, and still love the big GS's for distance and touring, but the 310 is a hoot on the many back country roads we have here in central Virginia. Been riding the big GS's since my 1990 Paris Dakar, and R1100 GS Oil-head. Will keep my 1200 Liquid cooled , AND my "new-to me" 310 until I die, or quit riding... hope to see you on the road!

Hello. The places are simply amazing 😊. I love to ride a motorcycle off-road. Also love mountains. I am thinking about buying a G310GS. I'm from Ukraine. Unfortunately, we cannot ride and travel a lot now, because the russians are constantly attacking our country, killing our people, and completely destroying our cities 😢

Question my guy I got a bmw g310gs but 2021 edition.... the footpegs must fit even if it says 2017-2019? cant imagine they changed anything about the footpegs since then?

Hello! I’m about to purchase this bike as a 70 off-30 on road adventure starter. Is this a good bike to do that on? I have other bikes in the stable, and trails are about an hour away minimum from my area so I’d have to ride there. Is there also any mods I should look into?

I’ve had mine since last summer and I haven’t been on the interstate with it. Interstates around here are crazy and I’m retired so not commuting anyway. Highways at 55 - 60 mph is great. Nice to see it doing it. Good to know if I ever have to do it I can. Nice video.

I put a 17tooth front on my 22 g310gs, world of different for highway driving. Each gear seams to have more legs but yeah, passing power is slow

To help get better stability on the front I suggest you add some preload to the rear shock. This will put more weight on the front.

You can change the front sprocket to a 17 tooth and it increases the top speed. One upside of that is that at 70 the rpms would be lower and save more fuel, which it really drinks at higher speeds

good video!! and i love the g310 videos. Hope you make more fun stuff , mods, and tutorials of maintanence on it and such

can't wait!!
