Hiding/MIA exhaust nut
I had the exhaust off to replace the heat shield clamps. When I took it off, both back cylinder nuts fell towards the primary. I found them on top the frame under the drive belt. Fast forward to this morning. I had all the nuts except one of the back cylinder nuts and it decided to go hide again. I can't find it for nothing. I don't think so but is it any sort of possible that it got INTO the primary? I ran out of ideas to look for it. I've done everything except lay the bike over on it's side.
Thanks

Forget about it you will never find it. I believe there is a black hole there.
I lost one once and never found it for a month then there it was in my lawn.
I ended up buying new locking nuts anyway.

Unless you had the primary open there is no way for it to get into the primary. I feel your pain. I dropped a nut from my handlebar controls and never found it. Since then always put a blanket under my bike when I work on it so that if anything does fall it won't bounce to who knows where.
