the big ones seem pretty important.

the small ones may not be but they do prevent the inner fairings from getting displaced and popped out by wind.

it would drive me crazy knowing they weren't there. i think you should get enough to have spares.

If they're the big ones, and you're missing all three, definitely get them replaced. I've been missing one for a while, no problems

Since it was the shop's **** up, I would go after them...
Last time my bike was at the dealer it came back with missing screws and bolts and wrong fairing screw which were torqued tight as hell and I ended up stripping them. It really pissed me off.

Now every time I drop off my bike I just take off the plastics myself, those mechanics probably don't give two shits about our 250's...

Those rivets break easily and will vibrate out once broken. They (the dealer) most likely put them back in but they fell out. I've broken a couple myself so I know. I bought some replacements from Cycle Gear that fit.
