does anyone have a link to a 17 tooth front sprocket for my 2019 310 GS. I live in the USA and do not have access to any. I cannot find them anywhere on the internet and hear guys are getting them from European BMW dealers. HELP!!!! lol
I live in Canada and ordered a 17 tooth sprocket from our dealer, even the parts guy was surprised he could order it for me. Cost was CDN$ 44. Installed it last week and I am very happy with the change.
I am sure I can help you get one of these.

Note that in this Parts Drawing (which is GREAT!) the #338 285 60446 indicates "16," which I take to mean "16-Tooth." The next item down, # 338 283 96375 indicates "17," which I think designates "17-Tooth." Can someone comment/verify? THANK YOU!
Great news!! I ended up reaching out to a Canadian BMW named Wolf BMW out of Ontario. The parts guy name is Darren and he was able to locate over 200 in stock at Germany and put in and order for me. It should take about 3 weeks to get it.
It depends on the rear sprocket as well. Pretty much power goes from the motor to the front sprocket which is smaller, this will spin several times before the rear sprocket makes a full rotation. Sometimes things are designed kind of poorly and its sad to say but its true. There is nothing wrong with the bike or the sprocket configuration but where I live it is dangerous to ride on the highway for more than 20 minutes because the bike will overheat. Getting a rear sprocket with a few less teeth with give me a high top speed and less torque because there is less of a difference in the size of the sprockets. I want to go a little farther and add a tooth to the front sprocket as well which will allow me to pass highway traffic with ease. Much better than buying radiators or an engine. Here's a link to a gear calc.

While some are wanting to increase tooth count on the counter shaft sprocket in order to raise the gear ratio, I have purchased a 15 tooth sprocket in order to lower the starting ratio.... This will not help with top speed but will help with starting out, especially going up hill...
I’m not sure about top speed. I could not pull the hills here in 6th gear before changing to a15 tooth gear. Now it flies up in 6th with no problem. I’m sure I could take 6th to redline now if I wanted. Most of my riding is below 70 mph so top speed is not a concern. 1st gear is great for starting out now. Also mpg’s have not suffered. My actual mileage is actually about 3 mpg better with the 15 tooth.
