what gear oil do i use for a yamaha aerox 100. the service manual says "transmission oil SAE 85W/140 TYPE SE" now i can't find this anywhere and it seems abit too thick for a scooter gearbox i have found the following there are 3 that i have found Silkolene Scooter Gear Oil Transmission 80W-90 - 125ml for £6.50 Shell Motorcycle Gear Transmission Oil 80w/90 1 ltr for £4.98 putoline SCOOTER GEAR OIL 75W/90 125ML 125ml for £5.50 which shall i get? the shell transmission oil seems cheap at £4.98 for 1 litre any help would be really appreciated

thanks Kishan and Nev for your response. regarding the issue of my bike getting stuck in gear ( which i think is getting stuck in gear) it definitely does get stuck in gear but this only happens sometimes when it's turned off and i'm rolling it, yes i know it's automatic* it's fine when i'm riding it however soon as i turn it off and try to push it into my driveway it just stops and when i try pushing it it sounds like the engine is trying to turn over. if i try the kick start it's like the wheel wants to spin. the only way to get it started at this point is to use the electric start giving throttle, this will then take it out of gear although while using the electric start the bike tries to move forward. this is a bugger and i really want this sorted. any ideas? thanks very much guys

hi, im new to this forum and hope i could gain some knowledge from here. basically i have a yamaha aerox yq100, the bike runs fine but has a few of what I think are problems. -firstly the exhaust gets really hot where i can smell the heathish smell if you know what i mean ,when i turn the bike off the exhaust makes a ticking noise. -secondly, when the bike is off and i'm pushing it, it sometimes locks into gear so i cannot push it, is this normal? -thirdly, when i press the rear brake it makes a very irritating squeaky noise is there anything i can do to stop that, ive adjusted the rear drum brake but it has not helped. -last question is regarding the front brake, it's very stiff meaning i just push it a tiny bit and the bike stops, do i remove some oil? any help would be really really appreciated. thank you in advance
