Hey all. This is my first post.

I jsut got the little ninja for screaming up and down the Santa Cruz mountains without getting speeding tickets.

Anyway, brought it home ot do a valve adjustment. While doing the last valve Idropped my feler guage down the cam chain area. It went all the way down. I couldn't get with a magnet from the top and i cant get it with the magnet through oil strainer hole.

Is there anything else I can do? Do I have to drop the motor and split the case? Can I get the the bottom of the timing chain anyother way?

Any other Ideas?

Thanks.
