Well, my C3 with SRC system works really well with the Zumo 550 and I can hear the instructions loud and clear even at higher speeds.
But I have to add that before I installed a Laminar Lip the wind noise was quite bad even with the screen full up.

Sounds like a great option, steel or carbon fibre?
Any thoughts on pro,s and con,s for both?

Titanium!

Looks like we were talking about two different clips.
I was still on the one with the idiot running into the back of those trucks.

Still no need for insults. 

Mecki, you're either stupid, or stupid, which is it?

I reported this to the moderator as a personal insult.
Since I am sooo stupid and don't realise that you are the moderator and therefore allowed to insult members on this forum. 

What is wrong with you, that you constantly have to insult me?
Are you still sore because I wrote that people who feel having to put an old dog down is as bad as the death of a child shouldn't adopt pets?

But if you think you are so much smarter then you may be able to explain to a stupid person like myself which driver of what car or truck did something that would justify prosecution Mr  man?
Maybe I am really stupid or just ignorant of the road code because I can't see any wrong-doing of any of the drivers in that clip. 

Both driver and rider need prosecuting and re-educating as to how to position their respective vehicles. I really do evaluate more -  other road users as a a consequence of looking at jerks like these.

Which driver do you mean and why? 

I had the same problem with my original seat, but then I bought a topsellerie and that one is fine!
I'd say but a new seat or bring it back to the dealer and make a warranty claim.

I spoke to the people that mapped it for me , and he said that kawasaki run a loop system on the fueling  and that it sort of shuts down at very low revs , I did not quite follow what he meant , but if you only use 2nd gear at speeds less than 40 if is not to bad , maybe that's why when in Eco mode it leans it off so it is giving it less fuel at that speed ,,,,,,,,

Did I read this thread right? 
Wasn't it you who started it by complaining that YOUR bike behaves badly at low revs after you fitted a PC?
While us folks with bog standard GTRs don't seem to have any problems at all riding around in 3rd gear at 30mph even in ECO mode?
So how can it be Kawasaki's fault?
I can't understand why Kawasaki would have an interest in mapping their bike sub-optimally in the first place. 
I can understand why people who make a living by selling and mapping PCs try to tell stories like that, though! 

It's just simple physics and a steady hand.
Looks impressive, though.

 

Jezus... everyone has to stop there to see and remember all those signs.....

No need to stop - just the usual for most roads heading into a mountainous area - 60km/h, sharp bends, narrowing road, rockfalls, cows running across the road and snow likely. 
Just keep going and forget about it! 

It has nothing to do with the displayed range but with the amount of fuel left that triggers it.

- hi and yes , its a Tapir.

- they're here in our forests and plantations (Malaysia). Very nocturnal, and can grow to be very heavy.

- and that South American animal you mentioned is probably a Capybara ? Ie :

No, I know Capybaras - the largest rodents in the world and a preferred Anaconda snack. 
I knew that there are 3 species of Tapir native to South and Central America, but I didn't know that there is also a Malayan Tapir.

Very nice indeed.
I've been to Val d'Isere 3 years ago on my 1250 Bandit.
I reckon the road from Modane to Bourg-Saint-Maurice is one of the most challenging ones I've been on in the Alps so far.
In steepness and tight hairpins at a par with the Furka and Petit St Bernard.
Unfortunately all those passes are very busy with lots of cars and busses and that can really spoil it.

The Rhone Alps are my regular playground since I spend 5 weeks in that area every year.
The scenery is always breath taking all around and tons of exciting passes with less traffic in abundance.

What animal is the one on the first sign?
Looks like a Tapir but don't those only live in South America?

Congratulations.

I also had the joy of the birth of a granddaughter in March and what a feeling it was to hold her in my arms for the first time. 
I wish you a lot of joy and happy times with the new additions to the family.
