It also has a bit of a misfire at low revs, which I'm thinking could be due to the rear downpipe woofing a bit. I will have a look at why it's blowing tomorrow night. I dont think that the previous owner did anything with it other than ride it, so I'm hoping it just needs a bit of love.
Rear collector box gasket is a common failure on the thou. Read about it on portal. Changed mine last year and it does make it run rough. Get one here or for a few quid more from Suzuki.
