Exhaust
In Turkish: Egzoz
In short
The exhaust system carries burnt gases away from the cylinder and consists of the header (manifold), catalytic converter and silencer.
To meet emission rules, most new motorcycles have a catalytic converter and an oxygen sensor. The exhaust also shapes the engine's character and sound level.
- A leaking exhaust gasket between header and cylinder causes popping and ticking; renew it whenever the exhaust is removed.
- A holed or rusted silencer raises the noise level.
- With aftermarket (performance) exhausts, check noise limits and homologation (road-legal approval).
Also known as (including Turkish names)
- Egzoz borusu
