At 75 quid look at buying moto scan app and checking it yourself
Chances are it's probably the exhaust flap

100% exhaust flap. You will need a very thick wallet for new headers if your out of warranty.

Or pocket change for a exhaust flap eliminator

And a way to reset the light, as they don't reset on their own.

If you really wanted you could buy a GS-911 and still have a lot of change compared to the price of new headers
