Welcome.....a big leap from a 97 XRV to a 25 CRF1000...enjoy the joy of the new bike and many happy miles on it in 2025 and beyond.

 

Many thanks Dave,

Really hope it will be a smooth transition.

The old one was (and still is) a really great bike, so many good memories!

 

 

An update, couldn't pick up the bike from the dealer due to freezing weather and roads.

It will be delivered to me on Friday.

Some more memories in the meantime 😉

 

Good choice... nice memories to keep but leave some space for the new ones to come... for sure. That´s what a call a perfect Christmas gift.

 

Best memories really! The old bike never let me down.
My favourite is our Ukraine trip, 10 bikes from Slovakia taking the B and C class roads to Chernobyl!
If anyone's interested, it's available here (in Slovak language, sorry!)

 

Delivered just now 👍

 

Very nice, I love my matt black ATAS but the Irridium Grey are just as nice in my opinion.

 

Thanks @Hood
Now starts the neverending story of upgrades, improvements and touch ups. And in between, if the time permits, a ride here and there 🤣
But that's what we all love!

 

Yes, definitely, I am always wondering what else I can make for mine, I have run out of ideas though

 

From what I can see, you did basically everything! It would be a challenge to find something else.

What about this?

Had it on my old XRV750, it would flash 3 times then stay on and could turn it off before an MOT with a switch. Not sure how CAN BUS bikes will react to it though.

 

I have just finished adapting the Chinese WIFI dongle so it fits in nicely, so I suppose that is something else I have found to do

 

Saw that one, pretty good to have it covered and closed against rain! Also, I see that 12 volt cigarette socket is available on the ATAS, as I was wondering about charging the phone when running wireless AA. Will be one of the first updates I'll do as well, the wireless dongle has been ordered 👍😉
I will check later some more mods I have done on my old AT to maybe inspire you some more.

 

I just have a wireless charging holder for my phone but then my phone is waterproof and also not fragile like some.

 

Understood, I have a Fold5 which doesn't like water, dust, vibrations, etc. Will probably keep it tucked away and charge only when stationary. Or get another more durable phone.

 

A phone like that would last me 2 minutes, mine is always falling off boats 10m down onto the concrete slipway I need a rugged phone

 

What do you think about the flasher module, would it be a CAN BUS issue?

 

Not sure and not something I would use, I would get pulled first time I braked in front of a police car
I know you can get flashing brake lights to use with the ezCAN but then they are not really connecting to the CAN on the bike as it is the ezCAN working them and it is only monitoring the bikes CANbus.

 

Hi and welcome

 

Thanks @AT-Dragon

Update, things ordered:
Wireless AA dongle
Tank protective side stickers
Seat cover
Side stand extension
Rear brake pedal extension
Radiator grill covers
Dash cams
Rear brake fluid tank cover
Connectors to install Fog lights
Top case

Still considering crash bars front and back, central stand, trying to read all your comments and opinions here. Not easy 😭 😉

As I am in the process of registering the bike, I am considering a customized plate.
It's possible to have 7 characters of one's choice, first 2 must be letters, no special character is allowed.
Like this:

Or this

Any brainstorming ideas? 🙂

 

Installed the first accessory, a quick-connect lead for the Noco Genius 1 charger.
Space around battery is limited but managed to squeeze it in without needing to do what this guy did the first 5 minutes of the video.
The positive rubber cover had to be cut a little and is still protruding a bit more than should.

 

For license plate: AT

Good one!

 

Some small bling items received and installed yesterday, pics will follow soon!

I like the side stand extension (Aliexpress), it was quite a tight fit but got it on at the end
Tank side covers
Radiator grill covers
Rear brake fluid reservoir cover
Alu oil cap
Screen protectors
Seat covers
Wireless Android Auto dongle (not tested yet, the phone is being repaired)

 

I have ordered a central stand as well. It's a Czech made product, no big name but the company produces stands for OEMs, so we'll see.
It's a longer stand for 21' wheel. As discussed with @Hood , hopefully it will fit and the only negative will be the need to use more weight to stand the bike on it. It should arrive in around 2 weeks, so will update.

 

I don't want to start a new topic, so excuse my questions in this introduction thread.
If the Admins are of different opinion let me know please, I'll start a new topic, or add a question in one of the existing ones.

I am considering the possibility to run GPS from an old phone, not using AA on the main screen, as I would like to have the bike data visible all the time.
What are your opinions about this mount?

Just be careful there is enough vibration damping when mounting a phone. The mount looks ok on the pictures, alternately you might want some thing like a Touratech mount?

Hi Hercules,

Following your topic.
Have my ATAS for a week now, and also looking for upgrades.

Love the searching for new bling
