Left Speaker quit Working.
Left Speaker quit Working.
It will still come on from time to time when I hit the right bump, which makes me think it is a short in the connection somewhere. I'm under warranty but my closest dealer is 1.5 hours away. Do I take the fairing apart and look myself or just let the dealer handle it? Never taken the faring apart before.

Pull the front fairing off. It may be a loose speaker wire.
Check here how to do it:

Put a towel or something on the front fender. You will drop something.

Good idea, change the speakers left to right, right to left and see if it's the speakers or the wiring.

This issue drove me nuts! It wound up being the fiberboard that the speaker terminals attach to. It had rotated on the rivit that holds it to the speaker basket, and was allowing the terminal to short against the speaker basket.
I used a zip tie underneath it, thru the basket and sinched it up to prevent rotation.
