Re: 2013 PCX 150 Cam Chain Tensioner Replacement
Doesn't seem too bad to do. How common is this failure and did they ever upgrade the part? (I have an '18) It's common enough on motorcycles/scooters. Lots of search results if you google the symptoms. I have no idea if they upgraded the part. If you have the manual it's not hard to swap out the ca...

Re: PCX Ignition replacement
Do you have a copy of the service manual? You should be able to work your way through it with the service manual.

Re: Camera placement
Helmet cam will be best. Mounting on the bike will result in lots of jerking and vibrations. Mounting on your helmet or using a headstrap are the way to go. Your head/body is a natural stabilizer, you'll have an elevated camera angle, and the camera will see what you see. https://smile.amazon.com/Go...

2013 PCX 150 Cam Chain Tensioner Replacement
A couple weeks ago my 2013 PCX 150 started making a loud clicking sound at idle, telltale sound of the cam chain tensioner gone bad. I've never more than changed the oil or replaced the brake pads on my PCX 150. I called the local (Honolulu) Honda motorcycle service center to get an estimate. They w...

Update: Replaced Cam Chain Tensioner
Replaced the cam chain tensioner this morning. Start to finish took about an hour-and-a-half. First time taking off any body panels or the luggage box, so the going was relatively slow. Did not need to completely remove the throttle body, just disconnect from the intake pipe and move out of the way....

Re: Replace Cam Chain Tensioner
It looks like I need to remove the throttle body to access the tensioner. Looking at page 10-8 of the service manual, do I need to drain the engine oil and/or coolant?
