City commute on my new BMW G 310 GS: Few things that I noticed

The motorcycle has a very nice commanding riding position and the suspension setup is at another level.

BHPian BudgetFailure recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Got the delivery today. The delivery experience at BMW Motorrad Kormamgla (operated by JSP) was seamless. The bike was ready at the showroom when I reached. I was able to get hold of the bike within 20 mins.

Few things I noticed based on my 50km city commute.

• It would take some time to get used to a tourer-type bike in which the headlight doesn't move.
• Bike gives a very nice commanding position
• The levers are extremely smooth and can be easily operated with one/two fingers.
• Engine heat sink fan switches on very frequently and the hot air hits the ankle side a lot (nothing to worry about though)
• Headlight throw is good but the intensity could have been better (I had upgraded my NS headlamps thus the complaint), would eventually get aux lamps
• Suspension is simply at another level, glad I went ahead with this bike.
• Need to learn to handle the weight of the bike well in traffic.
• Parking the bike for me gets a bit tricky at times due to the seat height, but is manageable
• Side stand is weird, and requires slight slanting of the bike in the opposite direction.

Looking forward to numerous trips on this in the coming years.

One question, I will have to leave the bike unused for 10-12 days after two weeks, any precautions I should take? I intend to take the bike for 1000km/1 month service next month.

One important thing I forgot to mention, I managed to stall the bike 3 times. Still getting accustomed to the throttle response and gear ratios.
