Does it do this consistently? Is the bike running now? If we had a little more information, we might be able to offer more assistance.

Gasoline could have leaked down into the cylinders and a mass of vapor got trapped in the exhaust - there's always 2(?) exhaust valves open when a 4-cyl, 16 valve motor is at rest. You go to start it, then "BOOM!"
