thanks guys, i have Martin Ashy in marlborough looking at it when hes next free. I dare not take it apart myself for the fear of causing more damage I've ordered a replacement throttle body and cable from some1 breaking a similar bike, a FZR250, so heres hoping the parts are compatible.

The bike is pretty up together other then that, the only other thing i've noticed, is i left her uncovered a few days recently, and the inside of my exhaust has some nasty surface rust, hopefully its not more then that, otherwise i might be replacing the can to.
