Wow fantastic setup. This video is exactly what I needed. Thank you for the content keep up the great work. I hope to see more from you as this would be the exact setup I would be looking at to get into adventure riding.

[@lajosjozsa2600]

The thing is with bikes like this, you can totally own them. Its not the bike commanding you what you can and should do, you can fully tell the bike everything and anything you want and it will never talk back. How many times I have seen guys on big bikes hitting some unexpected road and say: "I would need a 300cc on this road" The question is time, if you need 100mph because you plan trips far away so you want highway to get there, than pick a big one and forget hard terrains (which will come actually), than you have to turn around. Or you plan your time as well, so you are able to get there no matter what. I found the second option more suitable for me. Great bike mate! Thanks for the feelings you have!

[@ADVLARRY]

I agree. That’s why I went with both! Haha. Thanks for watching.

[@ashleykyle6361]

What did you end up buying?

[@Deavo56]

Great review of the mods to your G310 GS...I just bought a 2021 Black/yellow one. At 68 years old, it's the smallest, and maybe the most fun bike I have owned to-date. I have owned an R100 GS/PD, R1100 GS, and currently a 2013 R1200 GS. The full sized ones are great do-everything bikes, but the 310 is the one I can play with and not worry about not being able to pick up and the end of a narrow trail. It has added a new dimension to my cycling life, at a time when I was starting to think about how much more I was going to ride...this bike is so much fun!!Thanks for your video, I now have lots of ideas as to how to make mine better for me!

For cruising around country roads and backroad adventures it’s really good. I don’t go on the freeway with mine. The back roads are more enjoyable anyway. And it’ll blast you up to 60 quick enough. The build quality on mine is very good. India is making some nice bikes right now. That RE Scram 411 looks pretty sweet.

[@ADVLARRY]

What suspension upgrade did you go with?

[@KeystoneADV]

@@ADVLARRY I went the cheapest route. I wanted to eliminate the fork dive under braking, and re-spring for my weight and gear (I'm over 250 with my riding gear on). I went with Hyperpro progressive springs front and rear. Original shock in the back and heavier fork oil.

[@cocoscabana]

[@UltralightMotorcycleCamping]

Thanks for the tour of your G310GS accessories and upgrades. Those videos are very helpful when deciding which upgrades to do. I need to make a similar video for my baby GS. These are great little bikes for my old man adventures. I rode small displacement dual sport thumpers since the mid 1970s. I bought a 2019 G310GS for my 60th birthday because I wanted something lightweight but a little more comfortable because I'm no longer riding gnarlier off road. I want to ride back roads, gravel roads, dirt roads and some mild off road and the G310GS is nearly perfect for that. I'd like tubeless spoke wheels but wouldn't trade the tubeless alloy wheels for spoke wheels that require tubes (as the new KTM 390 Adventure did), but for my tamer adventures, the alloy rims are fine. Similarly, better suspension would be nice but the stock soft suspension is very comfortable on the road and is adequate for my mild off road riding. What I *REALLY* want is a much larger fuel tank. An adventure bike should have a 300+ mile range. Sadly, there is no aftermarket tank to increase the range. Carrying fuel bladders is a poor substitute for a long range fuel tank. If you don't want to look like a shill for SRC, maybe don't wear their T-shirt in the video. 😛

[@ADVLARRY]

Congrats on the new bike. I think it’s a great bike for the tamer adventurer. But I definitely put it through its pieces. I run lower air pressure with the alloy wheels and yet to have any issues. I actually don’t mind the smaller tank it helps me to take more frequent breaks to keep the legs and back and check. Lol. Src is a great company. Happy to wear the shirt but didn’t want people to think I was getting something out of this video. Good luck with the upgrades. Keep me updated on the new ride!

[@boonwisitwannasorn7671]

[@andysmith9243]

Thanks, the 310GS is what it is. I’m currently on a 1250GSA. Running the same tires, Bridgestone Adventure Cross tires. The Bridgestone tires are very good on road and off road. I can confidently run down the highway at 80mph . I had a 2019 310GS previously, at the same time owned an F800GSA, I actually enjoyed swapping back and forth on both motos. You are correct, with proper tires, pegs and bar risers, the 310GS is a good adventure Moto.

[@ADVLARRY]

I’ve now switched too the motoz which i really like. And also have a 850gs. It’s definitely nice to switch to that for a longer rides. The 310 on the highway is rough. Thanks for watching.

@@ADVLARRY U bet. Ride on!

[@user-wt5ye7nr2n]

[@ntwiz2]

I went ahead and picked up a new 310, in the Kalamata color. Loving it so far, got some protection parts coming already, mostly SRC and SW-Motech. I was curious if you've decided to try the 17T front sprocket. For the type of riding I'll be doing most of the time it should be beneficial. Loving the content, keep em coming.

[@ADVLARRY]

I actually purchased both the 15 and the 17. I haven’t yet tried the 17 cause I’m using it more for off-road. But I can say the 15 does feel much better. To be honest if I ever do a long trip on the 310 again I’d bring them both with me and do a quick switch on the side of the road if needs. Thanks for watching. Enjoy the new bike!

[@bsalvis]

Good job. Don't worry about what people say about the 310 -- and you've done a nice job with the upgrades. This bike is capable enough off-road. I recently rented one in south America and did more off-road miles in 10 days than most 1250gs owners will ever see in 5 years. I found your video because after my experience with the rental I'm considering buying one for myself and looking for ideas. BTW, what are you using for pannier/luggage system? This seems to be one of the things I'm having a hard time finding for the 310.

[@ADVLARRY]

Thanks man. I love my 310! I’m using the reckless 80 by Mosko Moto. It works amazing. Check out my 7 day camp pack video. I pack it up and mount it at the end.

[@chadkline4268]

I'd add a front fender extrnder to keep mud+water off the engine. And I'd check the rear to ensure that's not throwing mud+water into the engine/shock area. Looks like a great all arounder. I read the gas mileage is excellent too. 80-90mpg.

[@UltralightMotorcycleCamping]

BMW Motorrad claims the G310GS gets 71 MPG. It probably does, but I ride mine like a hoon and get 62-65 MPG.

Lovely vid that…this bike is in my buy list and am looking at reviews…yours sheds a lot of information, thanks! One issue almost many of them point out is the bad exhaust note and how it affects long drives…can’t keep listening to it…so it would have been great if you could have started the bike to show how it sounds with the exhaust you have…

[@fikrisk8406]

Used to ride 1200gs but due to age and physical problems, i think 310gs is the best option now. I still wanna ride 😁 so this is the best since its bmw😆

[@UltralightMotorcycleCamping]

Larry mentioned in the video that the G310GS is a good entry to the larger ADV bikes and that's exactly how motorcycle manufacturers, not just BMW Motorrad, treat their smaller ADV bikes. They intentionally de-feature them, not just to meet a lower price point, but to prevent these lighter and more off road capable ADV bikes from cutting into the sales of their mid and full size ADV bikes that cost 2-4 times as much. BMW could spend another $400 on a larger fuel tank, tubeless spoke rims and upgraded suspension to make the G310GS Adventure, and I'd spend another $2000 for it. I bought my 2019 G310GS as a 60th birthday present for myself. I rode it to the local Beemer breakfast and a 71 year old retired lawyer was mooning over it so I tossed him the key and he took it for a test ride. The next week, he rode his new G310GS to breakfast. BMW Motorrad marketing sees the G310GS as an entry level first bike to get new customers on the upgrade path to an 850GS and 1300GS, but they're completely ignoring the people of all ages who prefer lighter bikes for off road use, and the older riders who need to downsize to keep riding. The marketing weasels want to sell a young person their first bike. They aren't interested in selling older riders their last bike, even though older riders typically have more disposable income and would be willing to pay a lot more to get a lightweight full featured ADV bike.

[@ntwiz2]

Nice review!! All of the mods look great and do the bike justice. I've been looking at this bike real close and also the Kawasaki Versys X-300. I keep wavering back and forth and haven't yet pulled the trigger. Aesthetically, the GS wins hand down IMO. I've owned sport bikes and cruisers in the past, but haven't been riding for about 5 years. I wanted something fun and playful, able to commute, and maybe some light trail riding. Has your opinion of the GS changed at all since the you made the video or are you still loving it? I saw your other video of the 850, also very nice looking!! Were you craving more power or just a different feel? Great job and keep em coming.

[@ADVLARRY]

Hey, thanks for watching the video. I actually get this question a lot yes I’m still very in love with my 310. Basically the only reason I purchased the 850 was for longer faster traveling. the 310 just doesn’t cut it on the highway being stuck at 70 mph with a single cylinder thumper is a little rough. I’ve done it for 9 hours straight and some people say you can do it but I choose to just be more comfortable on the 850. that being said I tend to ride the 310 more than 850 daily. It’s just more fun too hope on and zip around town or go blasting through the woods. it is way more fun and easily controlled. Plenty of aftermarket parts are available and so far at 9000 miles I haven’t had any issues. I hope this helps.

I have a 2018 GS 310 with many of the same mods. I have about 8,000 miles on the bike. Limitations of the 310 are felt at the extremes: (1) squirrelly and underpowered on the interstate; (2) not enough low end torque in first gear and too bulky for single track. All in between, you have a versatile motorcycle that will do everything that you want an adventure bike to do.

[@YuriTheFriendlyRussian]

Great setup. I also ride 310gs. Love it so far. I love what you've done with it, but kind of hesitant to do the same. Feel like maybe it's better to upgrade to 850gs and then spend all the money on upgrades. Cause it makes sense to spend 1-2 grand on extras on the bike that cost $20K, but doing the same to the bike that is tops $4-5K... But love all the extras

[@ADVLARRY]

Or do both. Haha. But your right. It seems like a bad investment but I ride it a lot so it makes sense for me.

Doesn't matter the cost or size engine, you buy the mods you can and make it more individualized. I'm going to do 90% of what he did, but I will also add the GPS bracket, going with the Montana I. And bags, as I'm taking her RTW. And some would say why buy a more expensive bigger bike, and add all the extras? For that much it should of came with them...lol..even my 1200Custom HD has mods just for me lol..

[@SempreGumby]

Are those the Bridgestone AX41? Do you like them? Does the front wheel fender get stopped with mud?

[@daverieder8810]

Awesome video - thank you! I just bought my own 310GS and I want to get the same tank bag. Where did you get it from??

[@ADVLARRY]

There’s a link in the description. I believe they even have a new color out now. How are you liking the 310?

[@daverieder8810]

@@ADVLARRY Thanks for the link. I pick up my 310 this week so I will let you know shortly !

Thanks for the video, could you leave the links of all the accessories? Greetings from Chile

[@ADVLARRY]

I’ll try and update it today. Thanks for watching.

[@STOCKSSP]

hey mate! bike looks great, what size are the tyres you have fitted mate?

[@chrishart8548]

No doubt its a 150/70/17 rear 110/80/19 front Bridgestone adventure cross ax41

[@tttrrbo]

The bike looks amazing. I just bought one as my first bike on Friday, lots of awesome mods and information. Great video man.

[@ADVLARRY]

Thanks I’ve been slacking on the new content. Enjoy the new bike. Lmk if you have any questions.

[@tttrrbo]

@ADVLARRY so I've been getting more comfortable with the bike, but feel really bullied by the wind starting around 70mph, did putting the windshield on help you with highway riding?

[@ADVLARRY]

@@tttrrbo it will help for sure. I’d even put an extension on as well. But I will say this. The 310 isn’t a highway bike. Keep to the backroads if you can. It will be way more Enjoyable.

[@danibuciu]

Hi @ADV Larry, big fan of your g310 gs (got myself one as well). On the 2 inch bar risers: did you had any issues with the length of the cables to the controls ? limiting handlebars movement ?

[@ADVLARRY]

The cables were good. But my grip guards do touch the windscreen just at full lock. Hasn’t bothered me.

[@danibuciu]

@@ADVLARRY big thanks, no worries as i am still running the small stock screen on my bike

[@JuanSanchez-ym4ne]

Hi Larry. Would you mind telling me the brand of the tank pads installed on your G310GS ? They look awesome.

[@ADVLARRY]

Night Cat. I actually got them from Amazon. I really like them a lot.

[@hellohogo]

these look great. I wish i had ordered from SRC. I ordered from T-rex and it has been nothing but problems so far.

[@ADVLARRY]

That’s a bummer. The Trex seems like a simple design. I’m surprised they have issues.

[@KeystoneADV]

I have the t-rex bash plate and crash bars on my 2018...no issues so far. What problems did you have?

[@brucerobtoy7286]

Hey Larry, great walk thru. I just bought a 310 the other day. I'm in CT as well. How easy do these components align in the mounting hole?

[@ADVLARRY]

Which components specifically are we talking about

[@brucerobtoy7286]

@@ADVLARRY Wind screen, Skid plate, headlamp & radiator guards. I'm picking it up this Friday, but these are the initial aftermarket parts I wanted to start with. Thanks!

Looks like you can do a lot with the 310! What year is your bike? Did you buy new or used? TIA - ps subscribed

[@ADVLARRY]

It’s a 21. I purchased it brand new from Max BMW.

Amazing video !! i have the same motocycle model 2018 what tyres are you proposing for on off road ? Please help

[@ADVLARRY]

Currently I’m using the battle axe. Which have been amazing. Great off road tire that I used on road too.

[@Wagongirl01]

Great video! I'm looking at getting the 310 GS, but I noticed in the dealership that my right heel hits the exhaust heat shield...did you have the same issue with the stock exhaust? And, if so, did it get better when you switched it out? I'm really surprised they put the exhaust pipe so close behind the right foot peg....

[@ADVLARRY]

I actually did have the same problem but I’ve learned to plant my foot a little further forward. Also sw motech makes adjustable pegs. I think you can bring them forward an inch. Thanks for watching. Good luck with purchase lmk if you have any other questions.

[@Wagongirl01]

@@ADVLARRY Cool, great to know…thank you! I asked the dealer to let me try on a motocross boot and if I scooted my foot forward a little I was in the clear. I bet with the boot and moving the peg I would be good. Thanks so much!

[@freemaysin5088]

You look to be a similar build to myself, how do these hold up with us bigger fellers? I love these things, been wanting a second bike for light travel but the offroad capability. Like for most 55-65mph roads, but in the mountains mainly think it'll hold up? Really considering one, and the full Rally raid getup to go with it.

[@ADVLARRY]

So far so good. No issues at about 9,000 miles.

[@silversurfer4326]

Looks stunning. But thats alot of Upgrades. Probably could have bought a GS 750 for that Money. But great job 👍

[@ADVLARRY]

I have the 850 as well. the 310 is way more fun.

I haven’t but I will be soon. I can’t see it being any worse for the R80. What suspension are you going with?

Looks like this bike brings up a lot of "ermmm" and "uhmmmm" when you're talking about it. LOL. Nice setup !

Hi Larry, for the rox 2" risers, did you have to do a lot of re-routing of the cables or just remove couple of tabs that they are currently attached to?

[@ADVLARRY]

If you position the bars just right you don’t have to do anything. I just played with it until if felt right for me and the bike. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

[@DreamGrowls]

@@ADVLARRY thx

[@YuriTheFriendlyRussian]

Hey, follow-up question - what kind of luggage rack do you have for them? I'm having trouble finding a good rack, there are a few good bags available, but all soft ones need some sort of rack to keep them away from the muffler/tire/etc.

[@ADVLARRY]

No rack just the reckless 80 from Mosko Moto

[@rodxmoura]

Hey bro. What the name of these rear view? Where do I buy ?? Thanks

[@mimiharson1165]

I have done just about all the improvements you have to my 310gs, except the mirrors, throttle lock and windscreen, but thinking about the windscreen. How tall are you? I had a Puig screen on a previous bike and found it directed the air under the beak of my helmet so I am trying to avoid that again. I also have a R1200gsa and that is what I do my long trips on. I am in CT as well. Are you on New England Riders or Yankee Beemers? Great routes on NE Riders and great camping/rallies w/ Yankee Beemers.

[@mahatuberism]

Hi mimi, how does you compare to your gsa12?... am really keen to know... because am from gs12 and already sold them long time ago... thinking to buy this g310gs
