Owners of the Honda RS-X in Malaysia will be pleased to know Boon Siew Honda Malaysia has resolved the lifter tensioner issue. The problem lies in the cylinder of the RS-X and affects all units sold in Malaysia prior to August 2022.
Units post August 2022 have the revised cylinder installed and owners should not face any problems with the lifter tensioner. The root cause of the problem lies in inadequate lubricating oil feed in the lifter tensioner causing issues with abnormal engine noise and premature failure of the part.
Rectification involves fitting of a new cylinder with additional oil gallery passage providing adequate lubrication to the lifter tensioner. Owners of Honda RS-X manufactured before August 2022 should visit their nearest Honda Impian X dealer if they have any issues with bike performance or notice any abnormal noises.

Wait.. this is lame by Honda.
This doesn’t sound like product recall; it’s more on in-need basis if something abnormal occurs.
And it is not mentioned whether it will be replaced FOC or not.
Honda needs to recall all affected bikes and diagnosed it instead of pushing the buck to the owner to notice strange noise or decrease in performance.
And please be clear! bike sold before Aug22 or manufactured before Aug22. For example – my bike is purchased in Sept22 and most likely it’s manufactured before Aug22.
Thank you Mohan for bringing this beautiful crisis. U saved the owners.
Honda should do product recall. Honda is very shameless ya. Selling a faulty product which affects their vehicles sold before August 2022, and no offer of free service for the problematic part?
Design failure, bukan salah pengguna. patutnya honda buat product recall. secara foc. dah jadi jenama cap ayam dah honda ni. byk sgt masalah. blm kira psl isu balancer, oil pump n etc. byk sgt isu sbbtu tu la RV teruk gila jatuh. nak kena ke tribunal ke honda? x adil lah. servis on time still lg kena
