I encountered the same issue yesterday. My 2020 RS has only 9,000 miles on it. I swapped out my side stand for the one I had shortened by 0.75" and in the process notice the shift lever was loose. Retaining bolt was so loose I could spin it easily by hand. Removed it, cleaned the threads, applied blue loctite and re-tourqed it. Before my next ride I'll be making a trip around the bike examining each fastener just to have some peace of mind.
