Default Lost screw

Now I know this may be a stupid question however I need some help, I was working on my 2020 quad installing a light bar, there’s a gold screw which hold the gauge cluster and I lost 1 of the 2 and I also dropped the t25 torx bit in the same spot. the thing is it fell down into the middle of the quad and I can’t find it I’ve tried everything but still no luck, I’m just worried about it causing some damage like shorting something out. I can get a replacement screw no problem but I need some advice lol

Welcome to the forums.

I doubt it will cause any problems, and will probably fall out on a good hard ride. You could try getting a small magnetized screwdriver in the area it dropped and see if it can pick them up.

Thank you for your reply, it fell down into the Eps area and then somewhere by the gas tank, no clue where though it’s a huge area with lots of wires and nooks and crannies, most likely will fall out on a good ride for sure
