Two upgrades for the bike you already own.

BonkCore shows your bike’s health live on your phone. BonkPlate is a display plate you design in an app.

01 Diagnostics

BonkCore

It plugs into the diagnostic port under your seat and sends everything your bike knows to your phone, in plain English.

  1. The BonkOS live dash on a phone: gear, speed, RPM, coolant, battery, intake, and throttle

    Every vital sign, live.

    Speed, RPM, gear, coolant, and battery, streamed to your phone at a size you can read at a glance.

    Over Bluetooth to BonkOS on iOS and Android. The app is free.

  2. A fault code explained in plain English in BonkOS

    Check engine, in plain English.

    Codes decoded with likely causes. One tap to read, one tap to clear.

    Included free.

  3. A predictive alert about charging voltage in BonkOS

    Hear about it before it strands you.

    BonkCore watches charging voltage, coolant, and sensor behavior across every ride, and flags readings that are drifting toward a known failure.

    An early warning, not a guarantee. Part of BonkOS Pro, $4.99/mo or $39/yr. Everything else stays free.

Plugs into the factory port.

No cut wires, no splicing, no flashing your ECU. Unplug it and your bike is exactly as it was.

  1. Plug it in

    BonkCore seats into the diagnostic port under your seat. The seat tool is included. No cutting, no wiring.

  2. Pair once

    Open BonkOS and tap pair. Your phone binds to your unit, and every ride after that reconnects on its own.

  3. Just ride

    Your dash streams live while BonkCore logs the ride and watches the trends your bike hides.

  4. Validated for the 2003-2020 Honda CBR600RR.

Engineered, not just enclosed.

BonkCore is a real board, designed for one job: reading your CBR600RR's factory diagnostics and getting them to your phone. It talks over Bluetooth LE, sleeps when your bike does, and draws next to nothing while it waits.

Everything useful about the dealer tool, without the dealer.

Honda’s diagnostic system, MCS, is provided to its dealers and lives behind a service counter. BonkCore covers the diagnostics that matter, then keeps working every ride.

Looks like print. Uses no power to stay that way.

E-paper reflects light like ink on paper, so it reads clearly in daylight. Once drawn, the image stays put with the power off.

Make it yours.

Pick a state, a plate number, a month and year, and a look. Some state layouts add a tagline. Try it.

03 The app

One app runs both.

BonkOS is free on iOS and Android. It shows BonkCore’s live data and fault codes, and it sends your designs to BonkPlate over Bluetooth. Each works on its own. You don’t need one to use the other.

Which one is yours?

They work great alone. They share one app together.

Built by a rider who got stranded one too many times.

BonkCore started on the side of a road, waiting on a flatbed for a bike that gave no warning it was about to quit. The dealer’s diagnostic system that could have caught it lives behind a service counter, useless to the person actually riding the bike.

So I built the tool I wanted: one that lives on the bike, watches the CBR600RR’s known weak points on every ride, and speaks up while there’s still time to order the part.

Enzo Genovese, founder and engineer. I designed the hardware, wrote the firmware and the app, and assemble every founder unit by hand.

Questions

BonkCore

Which bikes are supported right now?

The founder batch is built and validated for the 2003-2020 Honda CBR600RR. That is the only bike we are committing to today. More bike support is planned after the founder batch. If you ride something else, add your bike to the list and we will tell you when it is ready.

How does it connect to my CBR600RR?

BonkCore plugs into the factory diagnostic port already fitted to your 2003-2020 CBR600RR, under the seat. No splicing, no cut wires, no ECU flashing. About two minutes, no tools, fully reversible.

What is the founder batch?

A first production run of 100 units for 2003-2020 CBR600RR owners at a founder price of $119.99. Founders get the first units off the bench and vote on which bikes we validate next.

How can it predict a failure?

It watches the drift, not just the current reading. Across every ride BonkCore trends charging voltage, coolant behavior, and sensor noise, then flags when those readings start sliding toward the patterns that precede the CBR600RR’s known weak points: a failing regulator/rectifier, stator, or coolant temp sensor. It is an early-warning signal, not a crystal ball, so it buys you time to check a part before it strands you.

Do I need a subscription?

No. The module plus the free BonkOS app covers live data, reading and clearing fault codes, the gear indicator, and a 7-day ride log with no subscription. Pro adds predictive failure alerts and unlimited cloud history.

When do founder units ship?

Founder units are expected to ship by October 31, 2026, in validated waves as each production batch clears testing. Charging now reserves your place in the queue and locks the launch price, and you can get a full refund any time before your unit ships. Every wave is announced to the mailing list first.

What data does the app collect?

BonkOS reads telemetry from your bike over Bluetooth and stores your ride history. On the free tier that history stays on your phone; Pro syncs it to your account so it follows you across devices. We don’t sell your data, and we don’t need your identity to run the diagnostics. The full details are in our Privacy Policy.

Will it drain my battery?

No. Standby draw is negligible: BonkCore sleeps when your bike does.

BonkPlate

Is BonkPlate a license plate?

No. BonkPlate is a display piece. It is not issued or approved by any state or government, it does not replace your plate, and it must not be used to identify a vehicle on public roads.

Can I ride with it on my bike?

No. Keep your official plate on the bike and fully visible, and never put BonkPlate over it or in its place. Show BonkPlate while the bike is parked, on a stand, a wall, a bench, or your spot at a meet, and take it down before you ride.

Is it legal where I live?

Rules differ by country, state, and city, and some places restrict anything that looks like a plate, even on a parked bike. We can’t give legal advice, so check your local rules before you bring BonkPlate to a public event. It was made for garages, shows, and photos.

Can I put my real plate number on it?

Please don’t. Never enter a real plate number, yours or anyone else’s. Use your name, your bike, your crew, or a word you like. The state designs shown are samples.

What can I change?

The main number or word (up to 8 characters), the header line, a tagline on layouts that have one (up to 24 characters), the month, the year, and a standard or inverted look. Try it in the builder on this page.

How do I change the design?

In the BonkOS app on your phone. Pick or edit a design, then send it to BonkPlate over Bluetooth. No cables, no tools, no print shop.

Does it need power to show a design?

No. E-paper holds its image with the power off, so a design stays on screen until you send a new one.

How big is it?

The printed PETG frame is about 7.4 × 5 in (187 × 128 mm), close to a US motorcycle plate. The screen is 7.5-inch e-paper, and it reads like print in daylight.

When does BonkPlate ship?

BonkPlate is on preorder now. Preorders fund the first manufacturing run, and we plan to ship in January or February 2027.

Can I return it?

Yes. You have 30 days from delivery to send BonkPlate back for a full refund.

Do I need BonkCore?

No. BonkPlate works on its own with the BonkOS app. If you have BonkCore too, the same app runs both.
