I read this is a common problem with this bike.

So.....it only pops ONCE and then runs right along ??
How long does it take to start up; guessing at engine revolutions.....2, 5, 10 ??
Just exactly where did you read about it ??
I don't think we've EVER heard it here, at least in the past 3 years or so.
Or at least not described that way.
This might have more to do with how you STOP the bike than how you start it.
You don't race the engine, or put the choke on, or stop it with the kill switch or side stand, do you ??
If it only pops ONCE when first started cold but seems to run normally at all other times.....I don't think you should worry about it too much.
Take it to a dealer's service department. After they park it, take the key with you. Come back the next morning so you can demonstrate the problem while the mechanics are present. I can't think of any other way to put your mind at ease.......or to discover what the problem IS......if there really is one.
