2022 BMW G 310R Overview

The 2022 BMW G 310R is a sport 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 10.9:1. 2022 BMW G 310R delivers 25 kW @ 9250 rpm of peak power and 28 Nm @ 7500 rpm of torque. The factory-quoted top speed stands at 143 km/h, making it a capable performer in its class. From a practical standpoint, the 2022 G 310R tips the scales at 164 kg, carries an 11-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 785 mm and spans a 1380 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 30.8 kg lighter than the average sport motorcycle in our database.

2022 BMW G 310R compared with other bikes in the Sport category

Here is how the 2022 BMW G 310R stacks up against other bikes in the Sport category in our database. Each model counts once, using the model year closest to this one, and the comparison covers up to 1341 models.

Top speed of 143 km/h is lower than that of 786 of the other 879 bikes in the Sport category.
Only 96 of the other 726 bikes in the Sport category have a lower power-to-weight ratio than the 152 W/kg of the G 310R.
With 25 kW, the G 310R has the joint 219th lowest power output of 1341 bikes in the Sport category, 67% below the category average of 75.3 kW.
Narrowing the field to the 31 models within five model years of it, the top speed of 143 km/h is lower than that of 25 of the other 30.

Versus the 2021 model

The figures we track are unchanged from the 2021 model: peak power, peak torque, wet weight, displacement, seat height and top speed all match.

2022 G 310R - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: 2022 BMW G 310R makes 25 kW @ 9250 rpm with 28 Nm @ 7500 rpm of torque - competitive figures for its class.
Fuel injection: The fuel 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.

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.

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling comes from fuel 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 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 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 G 310R runs 41mm USD telescopic fork and Cast aluminium dual swing arm, central spring strut, spring pre-load 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 Tubular space 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 2022 BMW G 310R with its 313 cc sport, 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 4 years old, this sport 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 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 for the G 310R's 313 cc single cylinder, four-stroke. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. The sump holds 1.70 litres, so budget for that volume of quality motorcycle-specific engine oil. With a 10.9:1 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 G 310R'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 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.
