I do not think it is really 'dumb', it seems to be an open secret. :-) An awful lot of C-14 owners either do not know that warnings (all warnings, not just the low fuel warning) can be cleared but have trouble remembering how to and then actually executing the maneuver to do so. I do find it a bit tricky to manipulate the buttons (Easy Boys!) in the dark, while riding, especially with heavy gloves but it can be done. What I also find annoying is that each warning must be cleared individually; when riding in cold temps. it is common enough to get the 'low battery' tire pressure sensor warning every single time the bike is started, and it is normally both wheels, so the warnings must be cleared twice. A true PITA IMO.
Yeah, the display does get a bit over- aggressive on showing us warnings that are just not that important (low TMPS battery.... is it really that big a deal? In the same realm as having 3 lbs. of air pressure left in a tire? The display would have us believe it is.....).
As to dumb, I cannot remember how to set the clock on the bike.... twice a year when the time changes. Sometimes I hit it pretty quickly, sometimes I fumble around for far too long, and sometimes I convert the readout to French. Hey, stuff happens.

Brian, it just goes to show....as smart as you are, you cant fix dumb. I was dumb, and should have read about canceling the warning, and at some point, I will get this device.
The piece of mind I get with your KIPS device is worth way more than the dollars I paid for it.
For me, the computer in this bike is its worst feature. It is dangerous when you have pop up messages appear. Cant help but assume the worst, and it takes my mind off of what I should be concerned with.
