Discovered something scary about my Ninjette today...

I bought my 2010 Ninja 250R about a year ago and had my bike serviced solely by that dealer I bought it from (was an idiot and was suckered into maintenance plan). It's my first bike and I love it. I dropped it once while learning at like 3 miles an hour. I lost my footing while taking off somehow...

Anyway, while on the highway today, I ran over a tumbleweed and pulled over to reach it out of the header area. While doing this, I realized that my chassis is disconnected from my engine crankcase!!! I'm missing the large bolt (part #92154A) and it's nut (part #92105). I called my dealer mad as hell because I just realized my safety was severely compromised for the past year. They said they'd look into the matter, but that it may have just vibrated out of place. I call bullshit on that because it's like an 8 inch long bolt held in by the opposing forces of the chassis and crankcase.

Really hoping to get damages and repairs paid for because this has caused my side fairings to rip. :-(
