Clicking Sound - Exhaust/Engine

Post by Leafeh »

Hi All,

Quick query..
Once I've turned off my PCX, after the 20mi+ commute, it seems to make a ticking sound, coming from the engine/exhaust.
It never makes this sound when I'm riding or anything, merely when I've turned the engine off, and the bike is parked up after the commute. [A lot of 50mph roads..]

See I'm no mechanic [nor mechanically minded for that matter] but could anyone advise? It may well be that I'm being a moron.. :lol:

Cheers,
Leafeh

Most likely just the expansion/contraction of the exhaust as it heats up....normal

Quite normal, it's just the engine,exhaust cooling down.

Thanks Jge!
Think my presumption about the moronic nature of my question was correct after all :lol:
