NOISE AND EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM INFORMATION

The combustion process produces carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons isvery important because under certain conditions, they
react to farm photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight. Carbon monoxides does not react in the same way, but is toxic. Cagiva/Ducati utilizes
