Cheers for the advice guys. here's another dilemma for you though.

I could do with getting the new exhaust... but I would like to get a minor service as it's beenoutside all winter.

Interesting thing is that the only thing that currently worries me is the rusted exhaust, so if I service it, then I can rely on the engine etc for a while longer, but it doesn't solve the exhaust problem.

I did getit serviced (fully) by Bournemouth Kawasaki just under a year ago.

So the question is, dO i get the exhaust system or the service ( I know the exhaust cost will be more).
