Loud crack...am I just to eager to get going?

Sorry about the barrage of questions for the board. I very much appreciate everyone helping me get up to speed on my beloved ride.

Yesterday took a short ride and stopped at Autozone. When I was leaving I got on and pushed the started. THe bike came on perfect, but as soon as it started there was a loud crack from the motor (kind of metal on metal snap). It did it again later that night once.

Am I just holding the starter buttom for too long? I didn't think I was....but just checking if anyone has seen this happen due to another issue I should check into.

Thanks!

Mine does it every now and then...I don't think it's anything to worry about.

Did I touch on yet another "They all do that"

I've heard that sound 3 or 4 times aswell. The thing still run smooth as butter though. There must be reasonable explanation for it.

Heard it too. Usually when the engine is still warm from previous rides.

Mine has never done that, ever...

Maybe I am the one that should be worried??
