When you stop for a short time, the bike actually increases in internal engine temps, because the airflow stopped. Preingnition on restarting it can cause the funky starting issue. In most cases with twinkies, it's already hot, and guys adding pipes to it with no upgraded fuel delivery only makes it hotter.
Run higher grade gasoline, if you're not already.
