I'll second that!

I learned that lesson back in '88 when adjusting the valves on my Ninja 750. My helper dropped the feeler gauge down the cam tunnel. Luckily it was steel and I could eventually remove it with a magnet. Put a string on it after that.

That particular feeler gauge still has the string attached...
