Thank you Freddy and hogr1der for enlightening me about the OEM bolt. I will definitely go that route. I have never torn into that area, and assumed the bolt was a standard item - apparently it's not.
If I were to go through my dealer, is the price the mentioned $10.49 there too?
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

Should be close to that but for a buck or 2, who cares?

So I went down to the garage and removed the front sprocket cover and 1. I see what y'all were talking about that bolt with the ginormous flange. Yeah, that's not found at Ace Hardware. 2. The bolt was tight and everything was clean. 3. I will be checking that often. 4. Thanks all for putting up with my dumb questions.

Just thought I'd bring this to the top for an update.
Rechecked the bolt yesterday after a little over 5000 miles since the repair. Bolt nice and tight and no sign of any movement so it would seem that tightening to 110lbs/ft (ish) has done the trick.
Rule#2: Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level & then beat you with experience.

Did you reassemble with lubricant on the splines or assemble dry?
