well the bike will have a starter clutch on it and the horrible noise will be the starter clutch attempting to grip,the starter clutch is located behind the variator on this model and has a set of 3 rollers and 3 springs the springs go weak and get dirty whcih stops them from putting as much tension on the rollers and therefore make them useless and also the part of the starter cluthc that the rollers grip on can sometimes get worn uneven and need either replacing or a good reworking with some wet and dry paper to make it smooth again.i usually give the springs a bit of a pull while they are out too.:)
