Hi,
If an inlet valve stuck or has a crack - it may ignite the rest of the gas/air mix - causng a backfire into the airbox.

This may be temporary or a permanent- recurring problem. Only by taking the head off can you check valve conditions and that all springs and guides are good.

This is the most likely cause - pre-ignition from a slow to close valve.
