Not a good thing to see at 6 AM

Started up the bike to go to work, looked down and saw this.

It looks like a handlebar bolt has backed out, so you need to remove the decorative plastic plug, use an Allen wrench to tighten it, and then check the other three.

Or did I miss something worse in the photo? Or maybe you knew all that and tightened it, and just didn't like having to do it with your eyes half open, first thing after breakfast? I can't blame you there.

You're seeing the same thing as I am Jim. The photo angle makes it look a little weird though.

Fortunately, the way the bar mounts are made, you'd almost certainly have a handful of play and know something is wrong way before the bar comes off in your hand.

That's exactly what you are seeing, and what I did.

I didn't notice it when I pulled into the garage last night.

I did look a bit closer on my morning TLOCS after seeing that.
