2014 BMW F 800GS Overview

BMW F 800GS is an enduro / off-road motorcycle, displacing 798 cc. Power comes from a Twin, four-stroke engine running Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 12.0:1. On the performance side, it delivers 62.5 kW @ 7500 rpm of peak power and 80 Nm @ 5750 rpm of torque. Top speed is factory-quoted at 199 km/h. On the road, the 2014 F 800GS tips the scales at 207 kg, carries a 16-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 880 mm - 820 mm and spans a 1577 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 9 kg heavier than the average enduro / off-road motorcycle in our database. The full 2014 BMW F 800GS spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2014 F 800GS - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: With 62.5 kW @ 7500 rpm and 80 Nm @ 5750 rpm of torque on tap, the F 800GS is no slouch for its class.
Fuel injection: Fuel injection means consistent cold starts and clean throttle response without the fussiness of a carbureted setup.

Considerations

Tall seat height: At 880 mm - 820 mm, shorter riders will likely be on tiptoes at a standstill - worth sitting on one before you buy.
Chain final drive upkeep: Budget time for routine chain maintenance - it's cheap to replace but needs consistent attention to avoid premature sprocket wear.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Cooling system servicing

F 800GS's Liquid cooled setup is low-maintenance provided the coolant interval is kept - old, acidic coolant is the main cause of long-term corrosion in the water passages.

Fuelling & injector care

The Electronic intake injection on the F 800GS needs little beyond good fuel and periodic use of an injector-cleaner additive - no jetting or float-bowl maintenance to worry about.

Valve clearance checks

With Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve gear, the F 800GS needs periodic clearance checks; caught early they're a cheap adjustment, left unchecked they accelerate valve seat wear.

Brake disc and pad wear

Braking up front comes from 2 x ∅300mm discs, 4 piston calipers, ABS - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.

Suspension condition on used examples

The F 800GS's suspension runs 43mm Marzocchi. Upside down forks, at the front. The rear uses Double strut swing arm aluminium coast in one piece,. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.

Final drive maintenance

The F 800GS uses chain final drive, which is cheap to replace but needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get a full service life out of the sprockets.

Frame & chassis check

Built around a Tubular frame in steal partly carrying the engine, the F 800GS's chassis is straightforward to inspect: look for corrosion, cracks or repair welds around stress points like the head-stock and swingarm mounts.

F 800GS - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

Before handing over money for a used 2014 BMW F 800GS, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, chain and sprocket wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy F 800GS should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.

Oil and filter changes

Nothing protects a F 800GS's engine like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.

Fuel system care

Fuel injection on the F 800GS needs little attention beyond decent fuel and an occasional system-cleaner additive. Anything left standing for three months or more should have its fuel drained and replaced before it varnishes the injectors.

Valve clearance service

Valve clearances are easy to overlook on a used F 800GS since a bike out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but the wear it causes is real. Ask the seller for documentation before assuming it's been done.
