Are you saying that the broken stud is on the horizontal cylinder ?
If so, that could be seen as a less costly repair job because I'm assuming it can be fixed without taking the engine out of the frame (I'm also assuming that a broken stud in the vertical cylinder would require engine removal to fix).
As I said earlier, the weaker studs are shiny/silver while the stronger ones are black. Of course rust may have obscured which is which by now, but you could probably still tell with close inspection.
If you do have the weaker studs then I guess its your call as to whether you replace those in the vertical cylinder as well (as a preventive measure) or leave those as they are to keep the cost down.

What year is the bike ?
