Another, what not to do
When pulling starter, you have to remove oil fill cap. Well, a few months ago, a starter bolt fell in the hole. Finally, on way back from Carl Leo's home, this bolt finally showed up as an issue. I couldn't shift down well and going into first was impossible. So I was riding, to get home, in 2nd gear to take off. Shifting down to 2, not to get into neutral. Neutral, it was no fun trying to move into 2nd. See pics. Two cell pics of what I viewed on camera and flex finger retrievers.

The bright whitespot next to the starter bolt is camera shining thru the magnetic pick up. It's a weak magnet, so retrivers helped. took about an hour.
