I'd be interested to hear how this works, as it makes no sense?

I don't know how it works but I didn't have any luck blowing heat in the intake but as soon as I warmed up the controller it stopped giving me the code.

Thanks for the video by the way otherwise I would not have gotten it to start

@Primary_intelligence as long as it worked! A bit odd though? Maybe it was coincidence as the glow plug had just enough warmth to do its thing?

@@Turbofab you'll see that's all done in a later video, and yes, a big difference 😉

​@BikesCarsandChat oh is it, I watched it all and double checked but couldn't see the intake routed inside

​@Turbofab it's in a later follow up video, not this one 👍

@@rogerkay8603 they are tame, but there's a time and a place for just bimbling about on the RS 😉 Still lots about, and a big following, get another one 😉

@@ChasTass great days! It's currently SORN'd, as yes, carbs are a pain in the arse for an occasional bike! 🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

@ITALIANMOTOR cheers Adam! The RS is a thing of beauty 😉 Hope you and yours are all well 👍

@@originalmianos it sounds like yours was the original LC, so yes, the YPVS was a later model. This is an original LC, but with a YPVS motor 👍

@@BikesCarsandChat The YPVS must have been a huge improvement. Mine had insane top end power as I had expansion chambers and two part reed valves but it hardly had enough low end power to pull off the line without a hell of a lot of clutch slipping.

@originalmianos the YPVS does give it a much better bottom end 👍

@@grahamhider3754 cheers for viewing!

@gravydavy4188 the little i3 is pretty quick around town! More than fast enough to beat most normal traffic 😉👍

@BikesCarsandChat good gawd. You're up late or early! It will certainly be the fastest car I've had! I've got an R1 tucked away so when I can be bothered to put it back on the road I'll see what that does to 30 mph, I don't think it'll be much quicker, 0 to 100 would be a different matter. 😁

@gravydavy4188 the joys of working a nightshift! Bikes are harder to get off the line, as you know, but would soon smoke the car once rolling 👍

@BikesCarsandChat I'm on a nightshif tomorrow night, 10 hours from 9.30, trouble is I got up at 8.30 yesterday after only 5 hours sleep, I'm knackered but can't go to bed. I need to replace the clutch on the bike and make it road legal as everything has ran out now but I can't be bothered, had it since 2007, done lots of miles on it. Won't ever sell it.

Just looked on your channel, you've got a cb250rs! I had one in the 90's, I'm restoring an xl250s. 😊

@grayharwood I bet it's true though 😉🤣

@sicks6six the Hybrid term for an LC, normally means it has a different motor and/or suspension changes. Typically, the later YPVS motor was fitted, sometimes with a Banshee quadbike top end, or Banshee racing parts.

@toeknee6588 no, it's a YPVS motor. You can't put a YPVS top end on an LC. Yes, all the valves, servo motor, and wiring etc are there 😁👍

@@BikesCarsandChat 👍👍

@@mmotorcycles9497 fun now the worst is over! It's just a case now of measuring parts and rebuilding. The oil pump is partially seized, so that needs a rebuild 😔

@christianweller4288 I had my first LC at 17. Expansion pipes were the sound my yoof! I still have a tiny of holed pistons on a shelf in my workshop 🤣 Great days 😁👍

My KTM Superduke R is 75hp and 150kg. AND it's only a single and a 4 stroke!

@ekspatriat that's 25 years of engineering advances for you! But a 4 stroke will never give you that rush that a 2 stroke does when it 'Comes onto the pipe' 😉👍

@@Checkh00k cheers for watching! I'm more cheerful in the next video, as the cleaning gets done 🤣👌

@Egal3ye that's a good idea, and something I really need to do. Cheers for the reminder 👍

@ferozkhattak no idea for your car I'm afraid? Some ICE BMW's just run the blower, but don't heat the car. The i3 warms up, or cools down depending on the temperature 👍

@mikeonabike4791 yeah, not a bad bloke 🤣🤣🤣👍 How you doing then Mikey 😉👌

@@BikesCarsandChatdoing good my man 😊

@tomdouglas8742 I bet it's cold there! You've made my day knowing that the video helped you get yours running and keep you warm 😁👍

@@paulhartmann926 it matches the Lodge interior perfectly 👌 I love it 😉

@@BikesCarsandChat All I can see is that the Eucalyptus panels are much lighter in colour than the seats? Surely it would look a bit better if the wood matched either the leather or the wool fabric of the seats???

@paulhartmann926 maybe the colours aren't perfect on the video, but in the flesh, I think BMW got it right 👍

@ianhoyle8459 no, it's as I got it. It seems to be the original finish, or very close if it isn't 👍

@davidtea740 Brilliant! Funny enough I've got tickets to see the Sex Pistols next Summer, with Frank Carter singing lead 😜👍

@@thumper1747 cheers! If I'm parked on my drive, I use the 'Diamond' button on the fob for mine 👍

@nicholasroy1025 cheers! And thanks for the kind words. I love this car, it does all you've said. My only criticism would be the ride could be softer on our crap roads! But getting into a warmed or cooled car is just superb. I work in France and park the car in the UK, I warm or cool it using the app from under the English Channel! 🤣 It's then ready to drive when I get back to it, a real bonus to pull out of the carpark in the winter while your colleagues are scraping ice off a cold car...queue a Jeremy Clarkson smug grin 😁

@@BikesCarsandChatI’ve also got 20 inch wheels on my i3S and I believe 19s would be far more compliant. I might get a set in the long term

@thumper1747 you're probably right, but the 20's look so good 👌

I use the cabin preheat at least once a day, I believe it also charges your 12v battery keeping it in good condition. I don’t have the car plugged in at the time either.

​@mfheli9666 having it plugged in uses mains power, which saves the battery, so I prefer that 👍

@WOKEBY they are great, it's just a shame you don't have a UK importer to save the tax etc.

@Roger_Ramjet you'd better get on eBay now then 😜👍 Thanks for watching 👍

@@alexguest9937 a great story! Yes, the added kick starter is a common mod to those with a DX 👌 Still time to re-live your yoof 😉

@@BikesCarsandChat Naaah, not this time. SV650 for me!

@alexguest9937 I have a few bikes, the RS is the oldest and the slowest, it's also the one I ride the most!

Still a big RS community, and quite a few bikes are available! Plus, spares are easy to find as well 😉

@WessexBladesHandMadeKnives get another! Dirt cheap to run, and bags of fun! Plus you can watch the world at a sensible speed, and less like your pants are on fire 🤣

The RS was always seen as the underdog, even though it was a better bike than the Superdream 😉

@MrDesmonick they did a 500 which I fancy as well

@bananabrooks3836 they are, but unfortunately they don't have a filter, just a crap gauze filter 😔

@MrDesmonick Bloody hell you're correct, engine based on the Xl250s, see, l don't 'know it all'😁 Have you checked the counterbalancer chain tension?

@bananabrooks3836 why Honda didn't fit a filter is just unbelievable 😳 I check the balancer tension each time I take the clutch cover off to check the daft gauze 'filter'. A pain, especially every 1,000 miles!

@@billienomates1606 cheers! Yeah, they are certainly a lightweight compared to a GS thou! It even feels lightweight compared to my DRZ400E 👍

@@jacksorted9115 great bikes 👍 Get another one 😁👍

@@BikesCarsandChat Had a few. Honda H100, CX500, CBR954 Fireblade, Suzuki GS450, GSXR750K8, Yamaha Thundercat. R6, R1. Said goodbye to M/bikes a while ago one more would end in divorce. Fireblade and Gixer were my favs. Had endless fun on the GS450.

@jacksorted9115 surely you could sneak a little RS in and she wouldn't mind 😏 No tax or MOT, cheap to insure, and 80-90 mpg 😉👌

@@BikesCarsandChat 1982 coming back from Goodwood to Glasgow on my GS450 with throw over bags into a block head wind I was overtaken by a guy on a RS. He was sat on the pillion seat lying flat across the tank giving it the berries

@jacksorted9115 sounds like a typical despatch rider! 🤣 They killed so many poor RS's by caning them flat out, mile after mile, with zero sympathy!

@soaruk3697 always time for another 😉👍

@Phiyedough that's the only thing about the little RS, they're not really fast if you're riding with mates on bigger bikes!

@evoallover maybe? I still haven't turned the car BT off and it works fine?

@stevenculley3330 Have you checked if it's still around? There's always a few for sale if you wanted to treat yourself at Xmas 😉👍

@patrickdoake6022 that would be superb!!! Let him know it's having a whole new lease of life, and took me around Wales in the summer. The old black bodywork now lives in a friend's RS, which was in a previous video. Cheers, it's much appreciated 😁👍

@@nok22m thanks! Sounds like you need another one in your life 😉 Mine has a decent cush drive in the rear. A Suzuki GN250 rear hub laced with stainless spokes to an RS rim 👍

@@BikesCarsandChat The mind says yes to another one, but the knees say "f**k that."

@nok22m only way to find out is to try one 😉👍

Thanks Ray, that's much appreciated 👏 😒

@allfasten cheers, could be warmer though! Thanks for watching 😁👍

@@blearyview2254 a long way from Kent! But so is Cumbria to be fair 🤣

🎅🎄😉👌👍

And more riding!

@@blearyview2254 and to you Alex 👍

@mellowr1 thanks mate! 👌

@Gundimuck cheers! The motor is out of a later slingshot model, hence the colour. I have managed to find a right hand side cover, so the master cylinder will be behind it as it should be. The gear lever and brake pedal rubbers are still available! The odd bits of missing trim I can live with, but if they turn up I'll fit them. The headlamp cover was on the first bike I ever saw in Bike Magazine, so I had to fit one! 😁👍 Cheers for watching and the decent comment 👍

@@BikesCarsandChat Mate the later 1100K or sling shot as you call it, still had grey engines and flat side CV carbs. Your motor is looking very much bandit! You need to check the serial No's. K motors won't direct fit as I remember, brackets and spaces have to be made up as the frames are very different. Sorry mate just how I see it.

I think from memory it's an 1127 K motor? It's been blown over with black at some point.

@@BikesCarsandChat Possible but the crabs are still wrong. G, H and K 1100's had flat side CV's those don't look like flat side CV's. The only way to know for sure is check the serial No's as said very common to find Bandit motors in Gixxer's as they're are different Gixxer's being far more expensive to rebuild. Bandit is cheaper not as trick and because there's a lot more of them. Hopefully I'm wrong but I don't think so.

@Gundimuck ​ a check of the engine number points to a GSX1100F 1127cc lump, hence the carbs. Question solved!

Funny enough, no mine doesn't! But it warms quickly so it's not a problem. Enjoy yours when it's fully finished and cheers for watching 👍

@@BikesCarsandChat Thanks, maybe the choke is supposed to be like that! 👍

I hope the weather is kind for you this time of year, thanks for watching! 🍻👍

I don't think it'll be any grippier! 😁
