2020 BMW F 750GS Overview
The 2020 BMW F 750GS is an enduro / off-road motorcycle built around 853 cc of displacement. Under the tank sits a Twin, four-stroke engine running Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 12.7:1. 2020 BMW F 750GS delivers 77 hp @ 7500rpm of peak power and 83 Nm @ 6000rpm of torque. The factory-quoted top speed stands at 190 km/h, making it a capable performer in its class. From a practical standpoint, the 2020 F 750GS tips the scales at 224 kg, carries a 15 L fuel tank, offers a seat height of 815 mm and spans a 1559 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 54.5 kg heavier than the average enduro / off-road motorcycle in our database.

- Narrowing the field to the 480 models within five model years of it, the seat height of 815 mm is lower than that of 407 of the other 479.
Versus the 2019 model
The figures we track are unchanged from the 2019 model: peak power, peak torque, wet weight, displacement, seat height and top speed all match.
2020 F 750GS - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
⚡
Strong power output: 2020 BMW F 750GS makes 77 hp @ 7500rpm with 83 Nm @ 6000rpm of torque - competitive figures for its class.
-
🔧
Fuel injection: The Electronic intake injection system delivers crisp throttle response and reliable cold starts regardless of altitude or temperature.
-
🛑
Strong front braking: The disc front brake gives excellent stopping power and responds well to aftermarket braided lines.
-
🛡️
ABS fitted: Anti-lock braking is standard, adding a real margin of safety on wet roads or in an emergency stop.
Considerations
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: Chain final drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get full life out of the sprockets.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Cooling system servicing
The Liquid cooled system on the F 750GS needs a coolant change roughly every two years (or per the service schedule) - skipping it lets the coolant turn acidic and corrode the aluminium water passages over time.
Fuelling & injector care
Fuelling comes from Electronic intake injection. Systems like this are largely maintenance-free beyond keeping fuel quality decent and injectors clear - a fuel-system cleaner every service interval is cheap insurance.
Valve clearance checks
Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation on the F 750GS means clearances should be checked at the manufacturer's specified interval - they can tighten as mileage accumulates, and a light top-end tick is usually the first sign.
Brake disc and pad wear
The disc front brake gives strong, progressive stopping power. Disc thickness and pad depth are worth checking at every tyre change, since worn pads can score the disc surface.
Suspension condition on used examples
Up front, the F 750GS runs 41mm telescopic forks and Aluminum double-sided swing arm, directly mounted, preload and rebound damping adjustable at the rear. On a used example, check fork seals for weeping oil and test the rear linkage for play - seals are a relatively cheap fix but useful when negotiating price.
Final drive maintenance
Final drive is by chain - expect to clean and lube it every few hundred kilometres and check tension regularly; a neglected chain wears the sprockets faster than the chain itself.
Frame & chassis check
The frame is Steel bridge frame in monocoque design, load-bearing engine - worth a visual check for corrosion or impact damage around the head-stock and swingarm pivot on any used example, since frame damage is far costlier to fix than any service item.
Handling the weight at a standstill
At 224 kg, the F 750GS is a substantial machine - low-speed manoeuvring in car parks takes more physical effort than on a lighter bike, though the weight disappears once rolling.
F 750GS - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
When inspecting a used 2020 BMW F 750GS with its 853 cc enduro / off-road, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the drivetrain for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. This model runs chain final drive, so check chain slack and sprocket tooth profile specifically - a worn sprocket is a cheaper fix now than after it's chewed up the next chain. Now 6 years old, this enduro / off-road is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained F 750GS should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task for the F 750GS's 853 cc twin, four-stroke. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. With a 12.7:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.
Fuel system care
The F 750GS's fuel injection system is durable but benefits from quality fuel and the occasional use of a fuel-system cleaner additive. If the bike has been stored for more than three months, drain and replace the fuel to prevent varnish deposits in the injectors.
Valve clearance service
Check that valve clearances have been adjusted at the correct intervals on any used F 750GS. A bike with clearances out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but tight clearances accelerate valve seat wear. Ask for service documentation proving it's been done.
