Hi Dazza, excellent video which encouraged me to do the same mod (45mins) and fully agree with you. It transforms the bike into a much more enjoyable ride. It really does help the bike to find a sweet spot for 3rd/4th gear with a really great engine thrum around 4k/5k revs and of course the taller gearing overall is a revelation. Well done on your content and presenting style. Evan, Dublin, Ireland.
I changed my sprocket to a 17 tooth today and I agree with Dazza, the bike felt amazing leaving the driveway. I do allot off road riding on my 310 and I think it will perform better with longer gears. At highway speeds it's easier to pass, I just love this new feeling. If you change the sprocket, use locktite on the sprocket bolt as it was from the factory. If you can use a paddock stand or under engine bike stand to adjust the chain so no tension is on the chain your adjustment will be more precise. Love the videos Dazza, thanks for the sprocket tip, they should come from the factory this way.
Excellent stuff! I've been waffling back and forth between this and the cb500 x as to which should be my first bike. My brain said the Honda... But I really want this one. Seeing the results of this experiment of yours has probably sealed the deal for me. The GS it is. Thanks for sharing. Hope to see more videos from you soon.
I've been thinking about switching to 17T and it seems those who have done so are very happy? I remember when I change in my old VZ800 and it became a completely different motorcycle. Did you buy the original sprocket from BMW or from the aftermarket? Thank’s
Thanks to your video, I put a 17T sprocket on 310R. It’s better than before (for my type of riding) but I still may add a slightly smaller sprocket on back.
Acabo de probar mi GS310 2021 con el nuevo piñón de 17 dientes, éxito total, muy feliz con el resultado sobretodo para los que nos gusta viajar con las motos, la velocidad crucero es de 110 KM por hora y la moto va sin ningún problema... muy feliz
subbed! champion 🏆 I just came back from my first long ride and I noticed the high revs and this will not only drop the revs and noise but also the fuel too which it chews especially when there's a bit of wait on while motocamping! imma smash a beer for you also mate 🍻
@@andreas.619hey, my bike is g310r (the roadster version, naked bike). Cruise comfortably at 120mph - definitely not, that's about it's maximum speed. Comfortable cruising speed i would say is about 100-110kmh (not mph). Anything above feels like engine is revving too high (imo, some would disagree). IMO this bike/engine is not great for long highway rides, unless you are willing to stay in the slow lane and not push it. As for what difference it made for me -- 1) comfortable cruising speed (by my preferences in terms of engine revving etc) has increased from about 90-95kmh to 100-110kmh, and 2) the gears became longer so IMO it's more comfortable to accelerate (you don't have to switch gears so "frantically"). 6000 rpm in 6th gear is about 105kmh now (where as before it was 90 something).
@@antondubkov thanks dude, I have the same bike :) could you maybe send me the link of the sprocket you used? Are sprockets universal or bike model based ? Btw I'm in South Africa and Anton is a popular name
Good job Dazza and greetings from New Zealand. I have the exact same bike, colour, and year model and just did this same mod today and looking forward to testing it when this heavy rain stops. If I was being picky I'd say your chain is just a little bit too slack looking at this video. If you drop into a bike shop and just do a visual comparison to your chain is the best way to gauge.
Great stuff, really enjoyed it and you explained it really well. (Thinking of getting the GS but not sure about vibes). Daft question for you - What would happen if you put an 18 teeth sprocket on the front? Take care and ride safe.
@@dazzasrandomstuff5672 well I can say this is a good link Procycles don't sell 17t at all and many supplies done have em nor make em either , Ive done your link and I'll just wait , Munich were out of stock and $90 delivered , looking forward to the difference 😁 cheers
It's a thumper. From what I understand if you're pulling it down to that 5k you're loading the engine increasing friction and wear. 🤷♂️idk but what about your speedo accuracy?
Hi mate, I just want to know how it holds up on hills, do you loose power at all? That is my only concern before putting the mod on. Anyways thanks for these videos I subbed you just because I liked these videos so much. Keep it up!
@@dazzasrandomstuff5672 Yes Id not want to lose too much of the perky lower gears, but think I'll try the 17t for higher end smoother speed, still like the bike 2018 thrash it 15k not a problem , many extras on , do like your big screen for gps, maybe Ill see if Procycles keeps one for the 310

I added the 17T to mine and took it for a 750km trip. Rode beautifully. Best mod ever.
Fantastic ! Totally agree

Nice job! Looking forward to a follow-up video to see how the modification holds up. Subbed
THANK YOU.
This was GREAT.
Very Much APPRECIATED.
I will do the same.
Thanks again.

Great video Dazza you're convincing me to get one of these bikes, I am older biker like you.
Go for it Micheal. You won’t regret it. 👍🏻
Just bought mine , waiting for her to arrive end of the month, cant wait
Awesome stuff. Enjoy your bike.
Great info, thanks
Please provide a source and/or a Part Number for the 17T Sprocket. THANK YOU!!
Thank you, works well on my 2021.👍
Fair play 😊 I'm definitely going to do that with my own
Dazz. Do you have a link to that sprocket?
Followed your tutorial and installed one on my g310r today, thanks for the video!

Thanks marcin, really appreciate your comments.
I think you would lose to much power in the top end, as in pulling up hills on the road.
@@dazzasrandomstuff5672 Thanks ever so much for the prompt reply. I think I need a test ride when a demo is available.
great video, thanks !
Hello,
I wanted to ask if anyone out there has noticed the clutter noise of the engine. Like it is a lifter/ tappet issue.
cool video! Thank you
Awesome video. Can you please give the ebay link for the product?

I can't seem to find a supplier that sells a 2022 BMW G310r 17t front sprocket. Where did you get yours?
Sir you seemed to be not setting the wrench with the recommended torque by bmw for sprockets while tightening the bolts . Is it safe ? Pls advise
Does this change to a larger sprocket not affect your speedo calibration.
Hi Dazza, looking for the 17t sprocket found diferent sizes, do you have size for 2022,23 engine?
This is a 22 engine I have so should be the same as the link , Cheers Dazza.
Hi mate. Great video! I did this to my 2021 310 gs and it doesnt go into sixth gear very smooth. It takes a couple of goes! Any ideas why?
Not sure mark. Shouldn’t make any difference. Didn’t change mine at all.
Sir do you feel lot of vibrations near footrest and tank, at around 4-5k ? Have you found any solution to fix that ?
Has it improved the top end ?
Hi mate, I just want to know how it holds up on hills, do you loose power at all? That is my only concern before putting the mod on. Anyways thanks for these videos I subbed you just because I liked these videos so much. Keep it up!
Hi mate. It doesn’t really change it at all in the lower gears. Slightly compromised in top gear. Thanks for your support.

eBay USA.
@@dazzasrandomstuff5672 Also available on Aliexpress!

Cannot find it !!! ?
Any link PLEASE?
Thank You sir.
Ok
Hey dazza where did you get the sprocket from. In Oz or china
Hi pat. eBay USA
Cant find a 17t sprocket in South Africa. Anyone willing to mail one to me.
Would the 17 tooth be ok for a 2019 model without the slipper clutch
Yes no problem at all, you’ll love it. 👍🏻
How does it affect top end speed?
It gained top end speed with less revs.
No torque wrench eh?
Should invest for real repairs
Great but your torque will be affected...
Barely noticeable 👍🏻
Thanks for the update brother...but this sprocket not available in India....
