Street triple R question - bolt come out!

Hi all,

I'm a brand new rider and a brand new street triple owner! Having had my bike about 3 months I was washing it the other day and noticed a bolt had come loose behind a piece of plastic cowling on the left-hand side. It was loose, trapped behind the plastic and rattling around. I managed to pull it out (photo below) but am seriously concerned that it might have come out of something important.

I am hoping someone can give some advice and also tell me how I can remove this piece of plastic to get behind it and see where the bolt has come from?

Any ideas or suggestions gratefully received!

Thanks

Matt

 

OK thanks all for the advice - I'll take it back to the dealer and have a chat with them!

Does anyone know what the plastic bit is or is called? I want to be able to describe it to them on the phone.....

Thanks again.
