OK, last night I started having the ground problem....
I installed the comfort kit and everything was fine until last night. The neutral light was not working, and I got no clicky or cranky when pushing the starter button, it would only crank when I pulled the clutch.

I grounded, temporarily the engine to the frame with a screwdriver and the neutral light came on and it would crank without pulling the clutch. I have the seat pan grounds cleaned and star washered.

So I am questioning, is there an engine to frame ground on the Ulysses?

Yep, it is a braided wire that goes across the upper tie-rod - on an '06 at least you will probably have the bolts that hold it it chewing into the airbox base.

Shouldn't be anything you would have to undo to put the CK on. Are you *sure* you put all your grounds back when you reinstalled the tail pan? (I only ask because I've been there, done that).

I have all the grounds in the tray area installed.

I was just wondering because the engine is rubber mounted and all those electrons have to go somewhere and at first glance I did not see any heavy ground other than those under the seat.

I will look tonight after I get back from court(I am a drip under pressure today, thankfully)
