I was having the bang also. Finally no more bang just my starter whirring without engaging. Replaced the starter with a 1.4 kw starter and no more banging. I have put this out there before and now I will again. I think a lot of people are changing the compensator for what I believe is a starter clutch problem. It's easier to replace the starter clutch, and much less expensive too.
Compression releases is the best solution to the problem and will be my next project.
