What needs checking for tightness?

Remember seeing a post on here about the ignition switch coming loose.
Mine was very loose lastnight on the way home.
So what else should I regularily be checking?
I'll check over everything I can see but are there any key/known places to ensure are torqued up nicely?

This might sound daft but what did you use to tighten it?
Mine is a little lose, I was going to go find a small enough set of pliers? Its just one screw as far as I can see?
I'm terrible at mechanics, seriously you should see my past 125cc motorbikes , hence why I am here!
Gotta look after the baggy!

there are 2 of them and if there loose remove and replace with allen head screws and lock tite
do not want the switch to fall down and bind the forks
AND CHECK ALL YOUR BIKES AND SCOOTERS
these key sets are used on a bunch of brands worldwide
and tell all the riders you know

and yes there a beast to get to on a traveller

Keep an eye on the sprocket retaining bolts.
These will quickly damage the drive hub if they loosen up .
