I have the cam cover off my Yamaha 540 TT and I just dropped part of a zip tie into the cam chain gallery! I think I can see it way down in there, does anyone know how to get it out?

Can I just take off the lower right side cover and get to it?
I have my little Clymer book open in front of me but am too upset to comprehend anything!

I remember the race following my first win in the 600 class. I was having problems with my bike. Johnny Isaacs, Steve Nichols and Terry Poovey noticed, told me to go sit and relax by the fan (it was a hot day) and they worked on my bike. Sure wish I was fast enough to have people to do that for me all the time!

Yes you can take the right side cover off and it should be there. That's where the hole goes. Nice to see Gary still around.
