Hi, I'm having a problem with 02 RSVR, went through the threads but couldn't find similar issue. In 90 % bike starting fine when is cold, than if I ride it for few minutes and for example stop at garage to fill up, it won't restart, I can hear a loud metal bang, starter would spin 1-2 times...

Hi all, just got my first v-twin and love it (RSV Mille, 04 old shape). She's a bit of a shed but got her for a fair price and engine seems sound despite high milage.
