Why is my BMW G310R shaking when reaching a certain speed?

[YoungHolmes]

My BMW G310R motorcycle shakes when reaching 70 km/h. I wonder how to fix this. My friends told me that it's because the gear to speed ratio is unsuitable. I use the engine sound as a reference to switch gears.

1-15 km/h in 1st gear
15- 35 km/h in 2nd gear
35-55 km/h in 3rd gear
55-75 km/h in 4th gear
75 - 85 km/h in 5th gear
85- above km/h in 6th gear

Does anyone have the same experience? Did I do something wrong here, or do I need to get my BMW G310R bike to the repair shop?

Its a strong engine, vibrations should be normal. wear gloves if you have to, but for me around 50kms/h on 4th gear is adequate enough though it really depends on the engine load.

@YoungHolmes honestly it sounds like the G310R just wants to dance at 70 km/h but @rzen24 makes a good point that some vibrations are normal for a bike like this, though if it's shaking more than your morning coffee maybe it's worth checking if the tires are balanced properly or if there's something loose like engine mounts or suspension components. By the way, I've got to ask, is this shaking new or has it been there since day one because if it's recent it might mean something's wearing out or needing adjustment so yeah a shop visit could clear things up. Let us know what happens.

agreeing with @rzen24 and @DataDrainMage404 over here i get what they mean, but of course you as the rider would know if the feel is different than the usual vibration. what you need to do is check your gear shifting like ar eyou shifting too soon or? maybe you also have tire issues so it's important to check that.

It's a good idea to first check for tire balance, chain tension, and suspension settings. If the issue is still not resolved, let a professional mechanic check it to avoid any further complications.

I think you're overdoing it. 4th gear at 75km/h? I think thats over 9k rpm, its normal to start feeling so shaky. Theres no standard gear to speed ratio, each bike has its own rhythm, feel your bike and gear change when you need.

I agree with checking the tires first among other things. hope you got this resolved already!
