Help bonehead move!!!
I lost a screw and it went in a little slot behind the primary. Do I need to take the primary off, not sure if u can even access the slot from the primary. 2011 deluxe

If that's the case and you can't see it then you could use a small mirror to look down in there and see exactly where it is and see what it's going to take to get it out. No need to pull the primary covers.

No luck 
do u think if I take the primary off I will find it? If so what is the process for taking the primary off other than un screwing it

Have you moved the bike forwards/backwards? Maybe the blasted thing falls out if it is just lying on the belt
Taking the primary cover off is not going to help you. To get to that area you will have to take off the inner primary cover ... bit more to that than just unscrewing ... you're talking alternator, compensator, primary chain, clutch basket ... And all this for a little screw that might not even be there?
Have you looked behind the starter too? Are you sure the little thing fell between the transmission and inner primary?
I'd look again on the floor. Turn off the lights and use a flashlight parallel and close to the floor, anything on there will throw a shadow ... easiest way to find little bits that fall on the floor and then hide in the most inconvenient spot.
