G'day guys, today started my baby and was running fine until I gave her a rev then cut out with a big "CLONK" and I mean big "CLONK", that is the best way I can describe it. She restarted okay can anyone please explain what the big "CLONK" may have been???. :confused

I started taking the fairing off and I think she my have been a race bike at some point as most of the harness is held together with red tape...looks like they put the road going parts back on, she has done 84,000ks(53,000 miles) but had her serviced when I brought her by Aprilia Sydney and no problems found.
 
Not to sure mate but sounds to me that when she stopped one of the big 500cc pistons was close to TDC and she may have kicked back.

Not a drama usually but can damage the sprag clutch.
 
Mine has done that before when I've given it a little blip not a hand full blip, not every time, never had any other probs related to it doing it though.
 
Thanks Guys, um Isle Of Wight they only place I ever got sun burnt lol.
