Hi all, first time posting. Great site though. Sorry in advance if this seems dumb.
Anyway, I was replacing my battery after a slow charge on my 05, and was trying to put the connectors back on the battery. So as I was attaching the first one, my hand slipped and I dropped the screw somewhere in that area. I've attached a picture of the area I think it fell, if that helps any (the screw in the picture is a replacement).
I poked around a bit inside there and couldn't find it. I also tried shaking the bike a bit back and forth and feeling around there to see if the screw falls out, but with no luck.
My question is this: if in the worst case scenario I can't recover the screw, are there any moving parts in the area that I could damage? Or is it just something I can ride around with and let it fall out on its own? I've never had this happen to me before so I honestly don't know the answer, and a quick Google search and a search of this site didn't turn up anything.
Thanks.
