After a day of riding,its always good to enjoy a cold brew. While the bike is parked in the garage and Im tinkering a bit on other things, half hour or so later, I sometimes hear "crack"!

I know its probably case, mounts, etc just contracting as they cool, but this one was louder than usual.
Anybody else hear this?

Brewski's tend to make you hear weird noises.

My bike snaps, pops and Cracks after a lot of my rides.

Its just the bike settling and cooling.

As the metal cools, it cracks and re-adjusts to the new temps.

Nothing to worry about.

Mine does that too. It's not like the normal sounds of an engine cooling down. It's almost like the sound of a circuit breaker popping.
