2019 BMW G 310GS Overview
BMW G 310GS is an enduro / off-road motorcycle, displacing 313 cc. Power comes from a Liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke engine running Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 10.6:1. On the performance side, it delivers 25 kW @ 9500 rpm of peak power and 28 Nm @ 7500 rpm of torque. Top speed is factory-quoted at 143 km/h. On the road, the 2019 G 310GS tips the scales at 175 kg, carries an 11-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 835 mm and spans a 1420 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 5.5 kg heavier than the average enduro / off-road motorcycle in our database. The full 2019 BMW G 310GS spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.
2019 BMW G 310GS compared with other bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category
We checked the recorded figures for the 2019 BMW G 310GS against up to 1146 bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category in our database, counting each model once at the model year nearest to this one.
- Only 99 of the other 433 bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category have a lower power-to-weight ratio than the 143 W/kg of the G 310GS.
- With 835 mm, the G 310GS has the joint 270th lowest seat height of 1146 bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category, 5% below the category average of 879 mm.
- Torque of 28 Nm is lower than that of 558 of the other 815 bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category.
- Narrowing the field to the 163 models within five model years of it, the power-to-weight ratio of 143 W/kg is lower than that of 142 of the other 162.
Versus the 2018 model
The figures we track are unchanged from the 2018 model: peak power, peak torque, wet weight, displacement, seat height and top speed all match.
2019 G 310GS - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
⚡
Strong power output: With 25 kW @ 9500 rpm and 28 Nm @ 7500 rpm of torque on tap, the G 310GS 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.
-
🛑
Strong front braking: Stopping power up front is strong thanks to the disc setup, with plenty of room to upgrade further with braided lines.
Considerations
-
📏
Tall seat height: At 835 mm, shorter riders will likely be on tiptoes at a standstill - worth sitting on one before you buy.
-
⛽
Modest fuel capacity: Range between stops is limited by the 11-litre tank - plan fuel stops accordingly on longer routes.
-
⚙️
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
G 310GS'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 fuel injection on the G 310GS 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 G 310GS 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 single 300mm disc, 4-piston fixed caliper, radially bolted - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.
Suspension condition on used examples
The G 310GS's suspension runs 41mm Upside-down fork at the front. The rear uses Solid die-cast aluminum swingarm, directly hinged monoshock, adjustable preload. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.
Final drive maintenance
The G 310GS 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 steel frame with bolted rear frame, the G 310GS's chassis is straightforward to inspect: look for corrosion, cracks or repair welds around stress points like the head-stock and swingarm mounts.
G 310GS - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
Before handing over money for a used 2019 BMW G 310GS with its 313 cc enduro / off-road, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, drivetrain wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. 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 7 years old, this enduro / off-road is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy G 310GS should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.
Oil and filter changes
Nothing protects the G 310GS's 313 cc liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). With a 10.6:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.
Fuel system care
Fuel injection on the G 310GS 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 G 310GS 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.
