It's a stainless fastener in one of the clutch spring posts. It didn't snap off flush - instead, it is around 4-5mm into the hole. Luckily, it's a brand new fastener and the threads had just been copper-slipped

I could get some stud extractors and do the job myself, but I'm a bit cack handed when it comes to these things and I don't trust myself not to slip and drill the thread at the same time. Not to mention, it's going to be really awkward to centre-punch the remaining bit of the stud.

I'm now bike-less until this is fixed because the MOT also ran out on the Bandit last week and due to noisy can/slightly blowing join/missing indi it won't pass at the moment. In any event, I've just remembered, the insurance ran out yesterday.

So if anyone who's a bit handy could pop over and get this stud out for me, I'd be really grateful.

As there might not be anyone willing/able to help me, any advice on what to use and how to do it would be really appreciated, in case I need to do the job myself

Thanks
