Most of us have a bike. It is a good means of traveling anywhere. Bikes are much more fuel efficient than cars. This is one of the major reasons why most people use motorcycles for daily commuting. On the other hand, have you ever noticed that after running the bike, when we stop it, then there is a ticking sound? The thing to note is that this ticking sound keeps on coming even after turning off the bike. In such a situation, many people question when they turn off the motorcycle after running it. Why does the ticking sound come from it even after that? If you do not know about this, then today through this news we are going to tell you about it. Let's know -
You should be aware that car exhaust contains carbon monoxide. Apart from this, this smoke also contains hydrocarbons and nitro oxide.
These cause pollution and acid rain. Keeping this in mind, a special type of Catalytic Converter is installed in the silencer of the bike.
This converter reacts with these harmful elements and converts carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. At the same time, due to the heating of the silencer, while riding the bike, the pipe inside it also becomes very hot.
That's when the bike is off. In such a situation, the inner pipe also cools down slowly and starts shrinking. It is made of metal. That's why when it shrinks, the sound of ticking comes from inside.
