Unleaded is fine.
Leaded is for four strokes with soft valve seats. The lead lubricates the valve seats.
Your NSR125 has no valves because its a two stroke, and therefore does not require leaded or LRP.
Unleaded is fine.
Also do you know you need to keep the two stroke oil tank filled up? I believe that it is under the petrol tank. two strokes work on a total loss lubrication system and they burn their oil with the fuel. If you don't keep this tank topped up with fully synthetic 2 stroke oil then the engine might seize.

No, but it might be a good idea because I have never actually managed to turn a fuel tap from main to reserve whilst riding along. Although that is really the point of a reserve tap!

There is, but I can't remember which member it is who has it on their webpage. I'm sure that G knows who it is, but I forget at the moment.
Not being funny, but do you have a member of your family or a friend who is into bikes? if you seriously need to ask us about fuel and stuff, I would suggest that you try to follow their lead. The reason I say this is not that we won't be helpful, but we can't tell you all of the little things you need to do when maintaining a motorcycle. For example, you might not ask us how to check and adjust your chain, because you weren't even aware that it needed adjusting (as an example). We might just assume that you know.
We will help when asked of course!
If you have any other questions (no matter if you think they might be dumb) then don't hesitate to ask!

The only switch on the right I can think of is the 'kill switch'.
As the others said the fuel is unleaded, and I'm sure the oil is semi-synthetic. hope this helps |
