If the road has that yellow grid then stay at the lights until it's clear to turn. Otherwise just move onto the junction and wait for a gap to turn.

This is what I would do anyway, no idea if it's correct or not.

That doesn't seem to be correct m7.

You're entitled to enter a box junction as long as your exit is clear; if you're turning right and there's oncoming traffic then you still pull forwards.

Could the opposing traffic also turn to their right? If not then you just bowl in and wait for a gap.

Bear in mind, OP is on a 125 and therefore completely invisible at junctions.

OP can you post a picture of the bike you've rented, please?

You almost did the right thing. I encounter a junction like this every day. The correct approach is to ride into the middle of the junction and stop, indicating right. Wait for all the oncoming traffic to pass you going straight over the junction. The opposing traffic who are turning right will stop and do a similar thing. You can do what you did and nip in and cross the junction right first, but the oncoming traffic won't give you much time and I would consider it an unnecessary risk to take - you're already at the front of the queue, just wait for the oncoming traffic to pass.

Even if the lights turn red again whilst you're stuck in the junction, you'll have time to turn right before the other set of lights changes and you're in the way.

There's no oncoming traffic going straight over - He's on a one-way street I think.

Thanks for the advice. In the future I will wait in the middle-right of the junction and wait until there's a clear gap for me turn right.

Another question: what do I do if I'm in the middle of traffic (e.g. three cars in front of me, three cars behind me) and I'm approaching a red light? I'm not very comfortable with filtering yet. Do I simply stop behind the cars in front of me?

If I do filter, is it okay for me to stop alongside the other motorbikes that have filtered to the red traffic lights? What if there are no motorbikes and only cars at the traffic lights - do I position myself alongside the cars? Slightly in front of them?

If you're going to filter, do so slowly enough to properly check for indications. If the car at the front is indicating to turn left and you put yourself alongside it, you risk dying of stupidity.
