He's blocking the Ducati  >:(  :P

If you really wanna try to find it, tie a small magnet to a string and drop it from near where you dropped the screw. Investigate the areas where it gets stuck, then knock it loose and check out the next area it gets stuck at until you're find the screw or you're satisfied that it can't be found. If you don't have a small magnet that's about the size of the screw, you could tie a string around another screw and do the same thing. Just make sure you don't let go of the string and loose a 2nd screw.  :P

I've found all kinds of goodies in the crook of the Vee of my 916. Several lost bolts, coolant overflow nipple, a 6 inch bracket, gravel, tar chips. I never noticed they were rattling around in there, thanks to the clutch. You tend to lose and forget about things when the engine is buried in wiring, plumbing, airbox / gas tank, and fairings.
