I just bought a Ulysses 3 weeks ago just got my 1600KM first service done got home drove it to work the next day, I went to start it and let it warm up. Went in side to get my riding jacket came out and the front of my bike was smoking. I shut it down took a look. The little spring thing that holds the clutch cable away from the exhaust broke and the cable was resting right on the exhaust pipe, wrecked the cable and the little boot. They said it happens alot. My dealer told me that they have a new style holder for it, their is no recall as of yet. It all under warrenty. Let me no if anyone else has had this problem
