Good Vibrations (sarcasm)
I've already had vibration issues with the rear, almost losing my license plate light and my license plate. Now I have a problem in the front. I noticed this morning I'm missing the bolt to the right of the trunk hinge and the one on the left was about to fall out.
Are there any other places I should keep an eye on?

In addition to mentioning these to your dealer, I suggest a personal tour of your Spyder with appropriate tools, checking everything for tightness.

I would say you have other issues. After 31,000 miles I have never tightened anything or had anything fall off.

My Spyder is one of the smoothest running machines I have ever owned.

What were the vibration issues you had with the rear? I feel something that doesn't seem right when riding and I keep telling my dealer about it, but they keep coming back with "can't reproduce the problem". Ive noticed the rear sprocket is quite hot after a ride, so I'm thinking the belt alignment and/or tension is wrong?

The nuts / bolts holding the license plate light and the license plate came loose. This is my first bike, so don't know enough to know when something doesn't feel right.
For the first few weeks, I was riding at low RPMs compared to most. Now I try to shift somewhere around 3500-4000. I'll keep an eye on the parts and see if that makes a difference.
