Default Iron 883 Vibration!!

Hey guys!! A couple of days ago I notice that there was a bolt missing in the front upper engine support (the bolt that goes to the engine head), so I took the bike to the dealer (still under warranty) It took the dealer 3 minutes to put a new bolt in it. But the problem here is that on my way home I notice that the bike was vibrating out of normal at acceleration (probably between 2000 and 3000 rpm) it feels like a rough vibration. Any recommendation here??? It doesn't make sense to me, on my way to the dealer it didn't had that rough vibration, came out of the dealer with rough vibration. Hope you guys can give me a good advice before I take it again to the dealer. Thanks

That bolt bolts the engine to the frame. Even with the rubber isolators, you probably will get more vibration because it now transfers to the frame some more. Depending on how long this was out, you might have just gotten used to it the wrong way.
