05 S2R 800. Safe to assume it went into the oil return. Anything could be done about this or am I completely f'ed. Crap...

Ignore it, it should be safely in the bottom of the case( Oil).

Thank you, that's good to know. I got lucky though - fished it out with a magnetic pick-up tool. No more work for today.

P.S. Now that I'm not in the panic mode, I remember there was a post here a while back where someone found a half-ring while cleaning their oil screen. The oil screen has a magnet in it, doesn't it? Makes sense now...
