Finally got my self a nice shiney Black 2009 model Ulysses 8700 miles in completely standard condition. Just gotta get used to it, just ridden to Southern Spain on my 1000 Fazer and then hopped on the Buell on Saturday, both great bikes but yet totally different !!

I have a couple of questions ??

When starting, the starter seems quite reluctant to turn engine over, there's a slight delay ( I assume getting over compression) then it turns over reasonably freely and starts. Good voltage on the battery 12.8 to 13.1 volts . The dealer I bought it from said this was how they are! Is this correct?

Both my Buells initially crank slowly, I ride with 3 friends occasionally there's all crank from cold slowly.
I think it's safe to say " they all do that Sir"

The other question is where is the ECM socket located for EcmSpy lead to be plugged into, I looked under seat but can't see it ! Any help would be much appreciated.

Dunno as per starter life, never had a problem, but they are fully rebuildable.

I would be looking for a battery when it no longer turns over...

Thanks for the advice I think I'm going to get an optimate. It's never not started but its just so sluggish until it gets over compression then she's off !
