After completing an engine rotation, don't neglect to check the tightness of both sides of the under-the-airbox engine-to-frame grounding strap. Even if you are sure that you did not loosen the frame side, check it anyway.

Your bike could run for a week before it mysteriously won't start and you think that the battery is bad. This won't happen in the morning when it is only 75 out. It will happen in the afternoon, when it's 105.

The little tool kit that came with your Ulysses does not contain a 10 mm wrench for the battery bolts. Nor does it contain the 7/16 wrench that you need to tighten the screw for the grounding strap.

This has the sound of a DAMHIK

By the way... I purchased the Buell underseat pack (which fits very nicely and has a place for your registration/proof of insurance) and went through the list of the complete Buell tool kit available for $100.

I filled the pack with needed tools for about $25, plus some extra tools I had around.

Including a 10mm wrench etc. : D
Works great.
