BonkCore + BonkOS for Honda motorcycles
Your bike’s mechanic.
In your pocket.
BonkCore plugs into the diagnostic port your Honda already has and streams live telemetry to BonkOS on your iPhone, and warns you weeks before a failure strands you on the shoulder.

The app
A dash you can read at 80 mph.
BonkOS is tuned like an instrument cluster, not a settings menu: true-black OLED canvas, one giant figure, color reserved for the moments that matter. Glance, absorb, eyes back on the road.
- Auto-reconnects silently every time you ride
- Sunlight-legible typography at riding distance
- Goes amber and red only when your bike needs you
How it works
From box to dash in two minutes.
- 01
Plug it in
BonkCore connects to the 4-pin diagnostic port already on your Honda, under the seat. Two minutes, no tools, no wiring.
- 02
Pair once
Open BonkOS and tap pair. The link is secured with Ed25519 signatures, and every launch after that reconnects silently.
- 03
Just ride
Your dash streams live over Bluetooth LE while BonkCore logs every ride and watches the trends your bike hides.
Features
Everything the $340 dealer tools do. Then everything they don’t.

FAQ
Questions riders actually ask.
Which bikes does BonkCore support?
Launch support covers Honda’s HDS / K-line generation (roughly 2002 to 2013): CBR600RR, CBR1000RR, VFR800, Goldwing GL1800, ST1300, CBR125R/250R, and Pioneer/Talon side-by-sides. One protocol library, many bikes. Support expands as we validate each model.
Do I need a subscription?
No. The dongle plus the free BonkOS app covers live data, fault codes, the gear indicator, and a 7-day ride log with no subscription. Pro adds predictive failure alerts and unlimited cloud history.
Is it hard to install?
If you can get to the connector under your seat, you can install BonkCore. It plugs into the diagnostic port Honda already fitted. About two minutes, no tools, fully reversible.
Will it drain my battery?
BonkCore sleeps when your bike does. Standby draw is negligible, orders of magnitude below your bike’s own clock circuit.
How is the connection secured?
Every BonkCore holds a unique Ed25519 keypair. Your phone stores the public key on first pair and challenges the device on every reconnect, so a swapped or spoofed unit is refused before any data is shown.
When do preorders ship?
Preorders are charged at checkout and ship in waves as production batches clear testing. Join the mailing list below. Every wave is announced there first.
