You local kwak dealer are your best bet, either those or Cradley Kawasaki are a popular dealer among people here.

as RobB says goto cradley kawasaki they are the dogs!
could well be your thermostat, certainly gotta be worth checking before you start dismantling the engine.

test your thermostat first! much easier job to do than replacing the head gasket!
