The bike comes almost completely assembled from the factory....When the crate is opened  the only things needing to be bolted on is the front wheel, the handlebars, and the levers...Very few shops do anything more than bolt those items up.

If the front axle bolt was loose then someone didn't do the job correctly which is sad because that is one of the VERY FEW items needing assembly...

When you purchase a bike it is always a good idea to request being present during their "prep"...Unfortunately most shops have people doing work on bikes that shouldn't be anywhere near a wrench...

Actually, most people that I know that have had alot of experience riding motorcycles do not want the dealer doing any type of work on their bikes because it's very common that they mess something up in the process.

If you're very concerned about the pre mix then you can drain a little of the gas out of the tank and check it and you should notice an oily residue.
