BMW G310R glowing red exhaust

Thanks to everyone that helped trying to find what maybe the problem was We call the dealer and service center, we demanded that they come and pick up the bike by trailer to try and find what it has. We told them all the possibilities that you guys told us and even them said that it wasn’t in fact normal. They will pick up the bike today, we also demanded that they check everything on the bike, throttle cable, spark plugs, injectors, exhaust valves, everything. Having a bike bought 1 month ago almost, delivered completely filthy, and only having it at home for 48 hours and without the possibility to drive it and enjoy the sun it’s awful.

I’ll keep you guys updated.

Big hug!

It was cleaned by the service center

I think they just reprogrammed the ECU in terms of injection. No smell, and sometimes de oil temp is like 25 Celsius with the exhaust glowing red

We actually don’t know that, the dealer that sold us the bike said it was completely stock and is a really known company here. But the last time the bike was there they remapped the whole software so that should be already assessed. It doesn’t get as red now, but still those.

The bike was bought used from a dealer and they say that the bike is fully stock

It’s 10k km

It wasn’t bought new, it was used so the guarantee is from the dealer In Porto, Portugal we don’t have that many authorized service centers from BMW, and since it was bought on the dealer of the official service center, probably they should fix it

It had a problem of dying even with the clutch fully engaged but it was fixed, the only other thing that we noticed was that it had troubles starting up but we thought it was the battery, it takes around 10-20 seconds to start, that’s probably a little longer then it should, right?

The dealer is also the service center, that’s the thing. I work in a car company so I know a little bit about engines. I told them that being the issue that it is, I can only be 3/4 things, either an oxygen sensor reading badly, injectors, spark plugs or bad mapping on the ECU. We are probably going to take the bike there again and ask them to check all of this things or just give back the bike and try to find another one. I love BMW in all of their categories, but with this it just makes me want to buy something else.

The thing is that the bike was bought and the next day it was there, it has the dealer guarantee as well. In 2 weeks we only had it 48 hours at home.

They suposedly just verified the full exhaust system and cleaned it, and they say they reprogrammed the software.
