Something fell off of my Roadster today

[Dwirfel]

My 2011 Roadster had around 500 miles on it when I started to hear an odd noise coming from it at lower speeds. Today at 650 miles the noise was a bit more evident for about 60 seconds before I heard something hit the road. It sounded like metal clanking down the road. I looked for it, both on the road, and where it might of detached from, but I can't find anything. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Ouch! I think my loss was something a bit smaller and metallic.

Tank prop?

Did you just have it in for the first service? Check your oil filter cover. Maybe someone left a screwdriver or wrench on the bike.

Maybe it thinks its a Harley?

I have had problems with the screws backing out on exhaust covers making rattling noises had to put lock tight on screws

I know I have a screw loose, but so does my 2013 Touring model. I lost one off the exhaust heat shield, one off the turn signal/light switch housing and another one that was almost backed all the way out. I have about 800 miles on her. Has anyone else had this?

I remember when mine was brand new many bolts came loose several times during the first 500 miles.
After that - not so much. I blamed it on the dealer set up; but, don't really know for sure.
