If you are that way inclined, this is a bit of fun!
I’ve done it on mine and it works just as the video says it should.

Carpuride - change the start-up screen
- Thread starter Andy B
- Start date
This is what I did.
For anyone new to this, I've just done mine and boy it's easy.
Step 1: Choose your photo.
Step 2: Open it in photos (Windows) and resize it, ideally 1024x600 otherwise you may lose bits, but you can play with the sizes to get the best fit.
Step 3: open https://carpu.dszymanski.pl/ in a web browser and upload your photo. It may give an error message about size of image but you will be able to see what it looks like.
Step 4: Download the .bin file and copy it to a clean micro SD card (No bigger than 64gb)
Step 5: Prep the install. Remove the cover to allow the SD card to be inserted (remove any already there) You can locate the new one but do not push it all the way in.
Step 6: turn ignition on, start up screen will appear, wait for the home screen, then push the card all the way in, it will ask you up load the file, click YES. Install will then take place and device will re boot.
Ta Dah!!
Step 7: remove Sd card, put other one back in (if one was there) replace cover and screw into place.
That simple.
Enjoy

Just done this and at first it didn't work.
So thought i would explain were i went wrong to help others.
You need to format your SD card to Fat or Fat32
On windows 11 you only get options of NTFS or exFAT.
I tried these and the Carpuride unit won't load the image, it will do all the same actions but you wont get your new logo on.
After messing about for 20 mins i decided to download a free 3rd party software called "Rufus".
This let me format my SD card to FAT32 and it then worked first time
I also created an image of my bike with a transparent background for on the information screen
So now it looks like my own bike instead of the random white icon it has by default
if you doing this make sure the image is 437 x 280 pixels and it HAS to have a transparent background
file must be saved as "motoicon.png"
Boot device push in the SD Card (without the boot screen file or it will start that again!)
Goto info screen and tap the bike icon 6 times
This should load your bike image
If you get anything else and you want to remove it, just tap 6 times again to reset back to normal
