no problem mate use caustic soda and water to clear the exhaust if you think its blocked you will need to block one end pour in the soda crstals then add water pref warm water.be careful though the stuff is pretty nasty if you get it on your skin or paintwork, leave it in the exhaust for a few hours then rinse it through with clean water also myou can cheat by getting a sharp steel rod and hitting it into the end of the exhaust to puncture the baffle plates it will make it a bit noisier and faster ,:) good luck hope it goes ok ,adam

well if you can see smoke coming from the exhaust pipe when u rev it up its getting the oil it needs if u cant then you need to bleed the oil pump,take the bucket that the seat is bolted to out by undoing the 4 10mm headed nuts that hold it in and the panel near the back (black plastic) this just pulls out towards the front of the bike and the fuel cap and oil tank cap !!!lol,then u lift the bucket out with the seat joined to it still and you will se a metal plate on top of the engine just resting over the studs that the bucket was bolted too just lift the plate up and it will come off ,then u will see the oil pump which the throttle cable goes to and on top of it will be a small cross head screw you need to undo it say 2 turns and wait until oil flows from around the screw with no air bubbles in it ,it may not leak the oil straight away as it may have alot of air in it which is what will stop it working and this is what u need to get rid of.when u are satisfied that all that is coming out is oil simply do the screw back up not too tight though just nip it up and replace the bucket ect... in reverse order or how you took it off.only do all this if you cant see the smoke from the exhaust though is will be a waste of you time otherwise mate ok well done and good luck with it ,make sure you dont lose your keys too the immobilisers are a nightmare to get over ok adam.:)
