BMW G310GS, FRONT SPROCKET COMPARISON. 16T V 17T, AMAZING DIFFERENCE !

WE SWAP OUR 16 TOOTH FOR A 17 TOOTH AND THE DIFFERENCE IS AMAZING

[@horizonexpress6376]

Hi Dazza, excellent video which encouraged me to do the same mod (45mins) and fully agree with you. It transforms the bike into a much more enjoyable ride. It really does help the bike to find a sweet spot for 3rd/4th gear with a really great engine thrum around 4k/5k revs and of course the taller gearing overall is a revelation. Well done on your content and presenting style. Evan, Dublin, Ireland.

[@davidmeloni3194]

I changed my sprocket to a 17 tooth today and I agree with Dazza, the bike felt amazing leaving the driveway. I do allot off road riding on my 310 and I think it will perform better with longer gears. At highway speeds it's easier to pass, I just love this new feeling. If you change the sprocket, use locktite on the sprocket bolt as it was from the factory. If you can use a paddock stand or under engine bike stand to adjust the chain so no tension is on the chain your adjustment will be more precise. Love the videos Dazza, thanks for the sprocket tip, they should come from the factory this way.

[@Pipermillen]

Cheers Dazza, purchased one form ebay 10 days delivery to the UK, the sprocket makes quite a bit of difference well pleased

[@papertiger795]

Excellent stuff! I've been waffling back and forth between this and the cb500 x as to which should be my first bike. My brain said the Honda... But I really want this one. Seeing the results of this experiment of yours has probably sealed the deal for me. The GS it is. Thanks for sharing. Hope to see more videos from you soon.

[@claytonchatham7212]

I added the 17T to mine and took it for a 750km trip. Rode beautifully. Best mod ever.

[@dazzasrandomstuff5672]

Fantastic ! Totally agree

[@Olandaren]

I've been thinking about switching to 17T and it seems those who have done so are very happy? I remember when I change in my old VZ800 and it became a completely different motorcycle. Did you buy the original sprocket from BMW or from the aftermarket? Thank’s

[@marianosfiligoy6011]

Acabo de probar mi GS310 2021 con el nuevo piñón de 17 dientes, éxito total, muy feliz con el resultado sobretodo para los que nos gusta viajar con las motos, la velocidad crucero es de 110 KM por hora y la moto va sin ningún problema... muy feliz

[@ramonvenegas7644]

Where did you found it, any size of it?

[@jeffreyhurst9552]

Thanks to your video, I put a 17T sprocket on 310R. It’s better than before (for my type of riding) but I still may add a slightly smaller sprocket on back.

[@dazzasrandomstuff5672]

Pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@tpv59]

THANK YOU. This was GREAT. Very Much APPRECIATED. I will do the same. Thanks again. Regards.

[@nunoviana3690]

Just bought mine , waiting for her to arrive end of the month, cant wait

[@dazzasrandomstuff5672]

Awesome stuff. Enjoy your bike.

[@michaeloconnell9024]

Great video Dazza you're convincing me to get one of these bikes, I am older biker like you.

[@dazzasrandomstuff5672]

Go for it Micheal. You won’t regret it. 👍🏻

[@ssazerac]

Nice job! Looking forward to a follow-up video to see how the modification holds up. Subbed

[@sheep.herder]

subbed! champion 🏆 I just came back from my first long ride and I noticed the high revs and this will not only drop the revs and noise but also the fuel too which it chews especially when there's a bit of wait on while motocamping! imma smash a beer for you also mate 🍻

[@sheep.herder]

daz do you have the link for the sprocket mate?

[@olavlundarvollen144]

Great info, thanks

[@goldTopDeluxe]

Awesome video.. thanks for sharing. Will try and do the same at some point.

[@michaelsheedy9354]

Thank you, works well on my 2021.👍

[@antondubkov]

Followed your tutorial and installed one on my g310r today, thanks for the video!

[@andreas.619]

Hey anton, I have the same bike - can you now cruise comfortably on 120kmph?? What difference has it made for you?

[@antondubkov]

@@andreas.619hey, my bike is g310r (the roadster version, naked bike). Cruise comfortably at 120mph - definitely not, that's about it's maximum speed. Comfortable cruising speed i would say is about 100-110kmh (not mph). Anything above feels like engine is revving too high (imo, some would disagree). IMO this bike/engine is not great for long highway rides, unless you are willing to stay in the slow lane and not push it. As for what difference it made for me -- 1) comfortable cruising speed (by my preferences in terms of engine revving etc) has increased from about 90-95kmh to 100-110kmh, and 2) the gears became longer so IMO it's more comfortable to accelerate (you don't have to switch gears so "frantically"). 6000 rpm in 6th gear is about 105kmh now (where as before it was 90 something).

[@andreas.619]

@@antondubkov thanks dude, I have the same bike :) could you maybe send me the link of the sprocket you used? Are sprockets universal or bike model based ? Btw I'm in South Africa and Anton is a popular name

[@terryprice9501]

Fair play 😊 I'm definitely going to do that with my own

[@TallyHoTech]

Dazz. Do you have a link to that sprocket?

[@Lunacrater]

Good job Dazza and greetings from New Zealand. I have the exact same bike, colour, and year model and just did this same mod today and looking forward to testing it when this heavy rain stops. If I was being picky I'd say your chain is just a little bit too slack looking at this video. If you drop into a bike shop and just do a visual comparison to your chain is the best way to gauge.

[@Lunacrater]

Then again I could be wrong after a second look 8^-)

[@backroadswest]

Please provide a source and/or a Part Number for the 17T Sprocket. THANK YOU!!

great video, thanks !

[@achidoki21]

cool video! Thank you

[@marcinpiak3540]

Great stuff, really enjoyed it and you explained it really well. (Thinking of getting the GS but not sure about vibes). Daft question for you - What would happen if you put an 18 teeth sprocket on the front? Take care and ride safe.

[@dazzasrandomstuff5672]

Thanks marcin, really appreciate your comments. I think you would lose to much power in the top end, as in pulling up hills on the road.

[@marcinpiak3540]

@@dazzasrandomstuff5672 Thanks ever so much for the prompt reply. I think I need a test ride when a demo is available.

[@trivikramcatoor4857]

Hello, I wanted to ask if anyone out there has noticed the clutter noise of the engine. Like it is a lifter/ tappet issue.

[@jesucristo1870]

It's a thumper. From what I understand if you're pulling it down to that 5k you're loading the engine increasing friction and wear. 🤷‍♂️idk but what about your speedo accuracy?

[@davidschultz3912]

I can't seem to find a supplier that sells a 2022 BMW G310r 17t front sprocket. Where did you get yours?

[@mamlukavlogs6353]

Sir you seemed to be not setting the wrench with the recommended torque by bmw for sprockets while tightening the bolts . Is it safe ? Pls advise

[@ramonvenegas7644]

Hi Dazza, looking for the 17t sprocket found diferent sizes, do you have size for 2022,23 engine?

[@dazzasrandomstuff5672]

This is a 22 engine I have so should be the same as the link , Cheers Dazza.

[@johnimmins7302]

Does this change to a larger sprocket not affect your speedo calibration.

[@MARKYMARK2222]

Hi mate. Great video! I did this to my 2021 310 gs and it doesnt go into sixth gear very smooth. It takes a couple of goes! Any ideas why?

[@dazzasrandomstuff5672]

Not sure mark. Shouldn’t make any difference. Didn’t change mine at all.

[@ashutoshvaish580]

Sir do you feel lot of vibrations near footrest and tank, at around 4-5k ? Have you found any solution to fix that ?

[@sahaabakbarnz]

Hi mate, I just want to know how it holds up on hills, do you loose power at all? That is my only concern before putting the mod on. Anyways thanks for these videos I subbed you just because I liked these videos so much. Keep it up!

[@dazzasrandomstuff5672]

Hi mate. It doesn’t really change it at all in the lower gears. Slightly compromised in top gear. Thanks for your support.

@@dazzasrandomstuff5672 Thanks a lot for your quick response. Ride on!

[@anthonyb5658]

@@dazzasrandomstuff5672 Yes Id not want to lose too much of the perky lower gears, but think I'll try the 17t for higher end smoother speed, still like the bike 2018 thrash it 15k not a problem , many extras on , do like your big screen for gps, maybe Ill see if Procycles keeps one for the 310

Would the 17 tooth be ok for a 2019 model without the slipper clutch

How does it affect top end speed?

[@dazzasrandomstuff5672]

It gained top end speed with less revs.

No torque wrench eh? Should invest for real repairs

[@apacheknox]

Great but your torque will be affected...

[@dazzasrandomstuff5672]

Barely noticeable 👍🏻

Thanks for the update brother...but this sprocket not available in India....
