Hi I'm Best from Thailand
I got G310R last week and today I begin ride it but I fine some problem at the screen panel.
The General Warning Light & The Engine Electronics Symbol apper (Not flashes) after I ride about 11 Km.
I stop my Ride for check it's disappear in a moment.
I continue ride, it's appear again.
And sometime ABS Light appear also.
But no engine problem occur , I still ride to 100 km.

Anyone ever seen like this before?

Sounds like a trip to the dealer is mandatory. I would not let any of these types of issues continue any more than a couple days without the dealer being involved. The warranty is there for this type of problem, and it honestly sounds like an electronics failure of some sort ( EMS, Instrument cluster, ECM ) etc. Don't wait until a major problem develops to get it into a dealer or they may have the opinion that negligence played a part in the failure.

From the manual...

Engine in emergency-operation mode z

(General warning light lights up yellow. The engine electronics symbol appears on the display.)

Unusual handling when engine is in emergency operat- ing mode
Accident hazard
Adapt riding style: avoid rapid acceleration and passing maneuvers.

Possible cause:
The engine control unit has diagnosed a fault which impairs the engine performance or throttle response. The engine is run- ning in the emergency-operation mode. In exceptional cases, the engine stops and can no longer be started.
Have the malfunction corrected as soon as possible at an authorized service facility, preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad Retailer.

It is possible to continue riding, however the engine performance and engine speed range may be impaired and not func- tion as normal.

You can get these problems when the battery connections are not tight.

Yes !!! That's it
Today I check battery connection, It's loosen.
After I thghten it, My G310 can run normally.

Thank You very much!!!
Glad it is good now. It seems that modern bike electrics are much more sensitive to bad connections. Always look for simple solutions before you do anything else.

Hi Best, glad you solved the problem.
However if I understand well, you checked and solved it yourself.
I would strongly suggest that you still visit the dealer you got the bike.
Modern bikes not only are sensitive to electronics, but also modern dealers have funny ideas about warranties and repairs. I would take it back anyway and at least inform them (dealers/or BMW directly by an e-mail), in case it happens again. I am sure you wouldn't want to (and you definitely shouldn't) pay anything if anything is faulty by manufacturing or assembly.
I hope that this is the last mishap on your bike, at least for a long time. Have fun!

Thank you for all suggestion.
Yesterday I found new problem. OMG!!!
The Engine rpm is high, even at neutral, 1st & 2nd Gear. (3000-4000rpm)
But in 4th-6th Gear is normally.
In morning is normally but after I ride it about 10 km. when I shift down to 1st Gear, Engine RPM still 3500 (like a fill in Throttle but I didn't)
And 1st-2nd gear the motorcycle can run without fill in Throttle (because engine is 3500 rpm)
I check the Throttle wire, harness is normal.
I think it's about intake air system (O2 sensor, leakage of intake hose)
I will take to Dealer within this week (T^T)

Are you saying the bike idles @ 3-4k rpms?

Yes, the idle engine speed 3-4K rpms
Definitely shouldn't be idling at that speed. If you can't get to your dealer until the weekend, I'd at least recommend you call their service department and tell them what is happening and get their approval that continuing using it is OK (especially for warranty).
