This is the second time I have heard a strange noise when I stared my 02' R1150RS (23,700 miles). The 1st time was about 2 months agao, and then it happened again yesterday evening. Bike in neutral, hit the starter button and as soon as the the bike fired I heard a "quike pop or bop" sound, sort of like a metal striking metal sound. Only one pop/bop, that was it! The bike runs perfectly, no other noise, vibration, loss of oil, etc, etc. It did in again yesterday after about an hour ride, I stopped at the store to get a nice steak for dinner, and when I got back on the bike, in neutral, fired it up and again heard that noise. Again, engine seems to be functioning perfectly. Started it a couple more times last night and this morning with no problems whatsoever. I ride the bike almost everyday to work and do around 60 miles round trip.
My thoughts are leaning towards a starter problem, but I am only guessing and have no clue. Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
Jeff
