I need to know whats the best type of oil to use

G'day.
If the previous owner used full synthetic oil then I recomend you do so too.
As a general rule it is not recomended to mix synthetic & mineral oils together.
Also as a general rule-most synthetic oils are of a higher quality & performance over mineral or semi synthetic oils.
You technicaly can use a non synthetic oil, but you would need to drain it all & also replace the oil filter,before re-filling with mineral or semi synthetic oil.
Hope this helps.
regards Andrew Porrelli

The best thing to do is to wire a relay directly to the battery. Wire it also to the ignition wire so the relay engages only when the bike is started (or with the accessory). Additionally you can install a wiring block somewhere inside the batwing in case you want to add something later. Be sure to use the appropriate gauge wiring for the load. You can get the relay (about $10.) from Autozone or Pep Boys, and a wiring block (about $7) from Radio Shack. The instructions on wiring the relay are on the package.
I did this on my Electraglide and it works great. Future additional electric devices will be wired to the block and the cables hidden.

Rear brakes on 05 roadstar silverado do not fully

You are dealing with rust or dirt in your master cylinder. When you look into the reservoir or top of the cylinder you will see a large feeder hole where the DOT 3/4 brake fluid feeds the piston of the master cylinder. You probably did not notice that there was a tiny pin hole right next to the large feeder hole. This pin hole allows fluid to return to the reservoir. When it is plugged pressure builds up in the brake system until the wheel stops turning. If you open the brake bleeder screw the pressure will be released and you will be able to drive most of the way home before the wheel locks up again. Take a fine piece of wire ( one piece of wire cut from a wire brush will do) and open the pin hole back up and your brakes should work correctly again.

I have a 2002 Yamaha SR125 and my original Speedometer has packed in. Everything works apart from the mileage. Does anyone know how to wind the Clock back?

This is a highly ill - eagle act to do. In the old days we would put an electric drill on the drive cable, but now they make them tamper proof so they only go one way. The bezels are crimped on so you can't get inside them. I expect modern one may be electronic. How will your insurance company know what mileage you have done? I have never known an insurance cancel or fine due to mileage. You should have just disconnected it when you got close to the limit. Buy a used one and use them for 6 months in turns. There are two or three here 23K and one with 36k https://www.google.com/search?q=2002+yamaha+sr125+speedometer ..

Yamaha Mio 125 MX. Why is my Mio MX 125 carb not starting?

Question edited for a lot more clarity, add maker. Question moved to Yamaha Motorcycle. Unlikely to be a carburetor problem as this appears to be fuel injected! https://www.google.com/search?q=Yamaha+Mio+125+MX+no+start ..

Yamaha XT125X - I have just changed the fuel valve and put petrol in the tank. Now the engine won't start and the fuel light is on all of the time? Any ideas anyone please?

Make sure the fuel is getting to the valve and passing through it. Possible blockage in fuel line or in the tank.
