    Now my biggest challenge at the moment is committing all of the Sena functions to my memory. The more I use it; the better I'll become at using it.
    Learning all those functions is somewhat of a challenge. I have been very happy with this system for two riders but this past weekend was my first experience with more than that. We had 7 in our group, all with Sena 20S headsets and it was not very good. Talk about a learning curve! Anyway, we had trouble with noise and losing connection. The mics were activated continuously which led to all the constant noise so I'm pretty sure at this point something was missing in the setup. I have since gone into setup and lower the mic sensitivity from default 6 to 3. In addition, I read that when you update the firmware (which we did from v1.5 to v1.6), you have to do a factory reset to avoid these kinds of issues. I don't know yet if this resolved the problems or not. What the 20S does really well is handle phone calls from your connected phone and internet music from the phone. And, like I mentioned, it handles bike-to-bike pretty well as long as you keep line-of-sight. We'll be learning more about this system as time goes by.

    If you come up with a better way, let us know.
    Hey Ken?

    When you installed your Sena ear speakers in the Kabuto Ibuki helmet, were you able to leave the helmet's removable ear pad portion in place somehow? I am getting a lot of wind noise with them removed since I had affixed the Sena ear speakers directly to the inner shell of the helmet.

    I think that the removable ear pads are going to be necessary for this helmet (to cut down the wind noise. Or ear plugs (but then it's hard to hear the Sena at speed.
