What is this 'low fuel warning' you speak of?

I shouldn't pick on BDF...he's sensitive you know.
Actually...I was poking fun about another story...that's all...lol.

One of the best farkles I've put on my bike is Brian's LFW eliminator. I don't know why but the LFW just pisses me off. I just hate that level of stupidity from engineers. I expect it from the rest of the world but not from engineers. The eliminator keeps me sane just a little while longer.
Technically, there is no "ECO Mode", it is called the "Fuel Economy Assistance Mode" (FEAM) everywhere in the manual.... but which Kawasaki stupidly labeled the "on" indicator as "ECO" just like the ECO riding indicator, just with a different background graphic and font. Whichever engineer did that should be flogged. No wonder some people are confused by it. Couple that with a sprinkle of "Engrish" ( http://www.engrish.com ) and it makes it worse.Yes, it can.
Well, actually, I think the ECO riding indicator also shows up when riding economically with FEAM activated too, doesn't it?
Thanks for the kind words.
How long are you hoping for on the sanity? I only ask because had I known that, I would have used Teflon insulation on the LFWE you got. <kidding of course>
As far as engineers go, I knows some of dem guize and they are not to be trusted and they are capable of any level of failure IME. Why next to mathamagicians and penisists, I think injun- ears may have created more disastrous mistakes than any other single group of people. If it were up to me, I would put those folks who paint the lines on the roadways in charge of all design! I mean, you almost never see a mistake in the lines on the roads, right? Dem guize probably coulda' put a bridge across the Tacoma Narrows that would not have ended up IN the Tacoma Narrows in the same year I figures.

...... the LFW just pisses me off. I just hate that level of stupidity from engineers.
You might be blaming engineers for what Kawasaki's lawyers or liability insurer wanted on the bike.

As for the CO and ECO...that too may not be the engineers fault
but rather some translator pin head or perhaps two different translators that didn't know what the other was doing.
Hey Max...we've been dealing with all the names for the spare fobs all this time...lol. We're all used to this confusion no?...lol.[...]And that doesn't even include the main Keyfob...lol.
I have a Gen I, and find nothing passive about it. Sorry that you Gen II owners have that passive problem....
It's that old big fob little fob thing with the slower gen 2 owners.

Spare Fob
Emergency Fob
Passive Fob
Credit Card Fob
Immobilizer Key
RF Fob
More?...lol
And that doesn't even include the main Keyfob...lol.
Agreed- the nomenclature here is a mess. And not through anyone's particular fault, it gets worse 'cause an active fob contains a passive fob inside it. A classic case of the words getting in the way of the meaning.
