2019 BMW G 310R Overview
The 2019 BMW G 310R is a naked bike motorcycle built around 313 cc of displacement. Under the tank sits a Single cylinder, four-stroke engine running Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 10.6:1. 2019 BMW G 310R delivers 25 kW @ 9500 rpm of peak power and 28 Nm @ 7500 rpm of torque. The factory-quoted top speed stands at 145 km/h, making it a capable performer in its class. From a practical standpoint, the 2019 G 310R tips the scales at 158.5 kg, carries a 11-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 785 mm and spans a 1374 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 50 kg lighter than the average naked bike motorcycle in our database.

2019 G 310R - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
⚡
Strong power output: 2019 BMW G 310R makes 25 kW @ 9500 rpm with 28 Nm @ 7500 rpm of torque - competitive figures for its class.
Considerations
-
⛽
Modest fuel capacity: The 11-litre tank means more frequent fuel stops on longer rides, which is worth planning around on touring routes.
-
⚙️
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 G 310R 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.
Valve clearance checks
Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation on the G 310R 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 Single 300mm disc, ABS 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 G 310R runs 41mm Telescopic fork and Aluminium swinging arm in conjunction with a directly mounted spring strut 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 Tubular steel frame in grid structure with bolt-on rear frame - 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.
G 310R - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
When inspecting a used 2019 BMW G 310R, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the chain and sprockets for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained G 310R 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 on any G 310R. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.
Carburetor upkeep
Keep the carburetors clean and free of deposits. If the G 310R has been stored, strip and clean the carb float bowls before attempting to start it. Pilot jets are the first to block and the last to be checked - always include them in any carb rebuild.
Valve clearance service
Check that valve clearances have been adjusted at the correct intervals on any used G 310R. 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.
