Good Evening, I was cleaning her up and noticed the flat black panel by the drivers right foot was loose. Anyone ever see this before and what do I do to fix it. I'm taking her in for an oil change and once over next week. Thanks, Mike

Not sure what you mean by Loose,but mine isn't. I would check at the bottom and make sure that the little tabs along the bottom edge are where they are supposed to be.

By loose, I mean that the panel will move slightly up or down or side to side slightly. Not like it's ready to fall off or anything like that. Leaving Florida this morning and will definitely take a closer look at it when we get home.
On the road again...........and forever young!

Yesterday is a cancelled check.
Tomorrow is a promissory note.
Today is cash.......spend it wisely.
As Pegasus mentioned there are a couple tabs on the bottom of the panel above that secure the black panel. That's one way to tell if your tech is incredibly average or above after they put it back together. You have to fuss with that panel a bit to get it on correctly. There is also a pinch bolt on the bottom of the black panel you could try tightening. If they forgot to tighten that then they are below average.

has clips that catch the top of the panel that is loose, maybe yours is not installed correctly and the clips are not engaged.

Thanks everyone. I guess you can tell I've been messing with the bike more lately. I'm going back for probably my last Drs visit since my shoulder replacement in February. The Dr still hasn't released me to ride so I've limited myself to 2500 miles so far this summer. Actualy it pretty much takes only one arm to ride her with the throttle rocker so it hasn't been a problem. It's actually like therapy. Mike

I understand they come out the crate like that. Something to do with the switchover to the 1330. Stopped mine moving with two small bits of Velcro. By the way it's your left foot.
On my 2014 RTS my left one was also loose and I could hear it rattle at times...I pulled out on the panel and looked behind it and found a place that I drilled and taped it for a 10/32 machine screw...Painted the head of the screw black...Problem solved...
