properly torqued nothing should fall off. Mirror topside cosmetic cap, I used double sided sticky 3m VHB tape (tiny piece) to hold those in. Check everything before every ride. Or better yet, go over everything and torque everything slightly more for carefree assurance while riding. I found my reservoir caps barely finger tight when I received mine. I was surprised they didn't leak. Some bolts can't get to under fairings, I am praying those are all ok.
 
if you use loctite make sure its the BLUE ONE if you want to remove the bolts. If you get RED good luck at ever getting the bolts off again. Yes i know it can be done.
 
My dealer re-torqued pretty much everything on the 300km "check-up" on my S and my R. Seems like everything loosens up in the beginning. All new accessories got thread locker.
 
freaking exhaust flap control cable is off the clip retainer between the exhaust in the middle, but I can't reach it with my hands. Its secure in the v-gap holder between the exhaust but looks out of place because its off to the side, darnit! Probably use a tool to push it back in the clip, but then wondering if that will change the tension on the cable in the sleeve. Maybe I leave it alone as it could be the way it was routed in the factory and adjusted. Oh well.
