Anybody know this part?

So I was putting blue LEDs in my gauges today, crazy cool by the way, and I lost the screw that holds the trip odometer reset button on. Does anybody know a size, thread count, pitch and all that stuff so I can get a new one? Or does anyone know if I can just go get one from the Suzuki place?

Freaking tiny and metric.

I'd suggest a trip with a strong magnet around the area where you were working first.
1990 GS500EL - with moderately-ugly paintjob.
1982 XJ650LJ -  off the road for slow repairs

Yeah I thought about that too but I'm really impatient and figured that with the amount of time I spent crawling around on the ground I probably hit it and sent it way off somewhere. I think my next plan of action is that I'm going to go lowes or home depot with the button and try and find a screw that fits the hole, then just buy a bunch in different thread pitches and lengths and see what I can figure out. Funny how its always the little things that apparently hold the world together that get lost.

I don't know if your gauges are completely different than mine or what, but I definitely didn't have to remove the reset knob to install the LED's.  You can just take off the black plastic thing that surrounds the rear of the gauges and that'll allow enough room to get to the bulbs.  I know, not helpful but if anybody's reading this post, maybe it'll save them from having to take that knob off.
