I was searching for a picture of the V-Strom engine to show to an engineering chappie so he could have a think about how to repair the broken mount/lug/pillar (whatever you call it) and I came across this engine on ebay (£250 if you want it...) - I didn't want to disturb my clutch slave cylinder again as it is working for the time being.
Anyway, I have managed a temporary repair (bodge job) which may/may not be useful to know.
There are only 2 bolts that hold the clutch slave cylinder in place. I discovered that on the lower left of the cylinder there is a blank bolt hole (I initially thought it was a locating dowel) and behind it there is a threaded bolt hole into the crank-case. I simply drilled a 6mm hole through the cylinder and then put a bolt into place.
So the cylinder is held in place by two bolts but as both bolts are at the bottom of the cylinder there is still a bit of movement at the top part when the clutch lever is pulled in. Luckily it is just enough to still work the clutch so I can ride my bike.
