The experts will chime in soon. It sounds like to a maladjusted carb.

When you start this bike COLD,,, Do you pull out the choke/enricher and give a couple of twist with the throttle and then LEAVE your hand OFF the throttle???

I have found on Many carbed bikes that the hand on the throttle is NOT needed... If you twist the throttle while trying to start engine the Kick-Backs come more...(in my personal case when starting)..

You could have an intake leak or a carb (dirty or jetting wrong) problem and need to spray around manifold to check for a leak while running..

Has it always started hard and kick-back or just after a change...

Short pipes with little back-pressure USUALLY can cause problems like this...

Tuning is tough with improper back-pressure...

has screaming eagle ignition

For what it's worth, you may also want to retrace your set-up steps on the SE ignition. Sounds like you may have a ton of spark advance during cranking. There should be a way to adjust base timing (rotation of hall pick-up, etc). I would double check it. Something also controls spark advance under load (pre-ecm/fi bikes used map sensor). I would check that also. It could be stuck which would over advance timing at cranking.
 
i tried the wd 40 trick on the intakes and noticed no change in rpm's The bike has done it since I;ve owned it . don;t know about the timing thing ... thanks
