Well done - You got there in the end!

Manuals are good, but thre trouble is they're always written/photographed in a pristine workshop, with all the tools and usually the engine out on a bench - you were working in the middle of nowhere! It is experience that helps in these situations; you've gained more of that over the last few days and learnt a great deal to you help out next time. (Let's hope there isn't a next time though! )

As you were working in the field (so to speak), it may be wise to put some cheap oil in for 500Km or so, just to flush out any debris that might of got in whilst you were working on the clutch and to allow for the new clutch plates to bed in. (Make sure you use proper motorcycle oil though and not synthetic stuff.) Then change to a good oil, or whatever you use normally and it's probably worth doing the filter again for the sake of a few quid.
