Aprilia

Hello we have revived our old 1982 Aprillia 50 trials and my son has started riding. After a carb and clutch rebuild it is running well and waiting for Milton Buzzards club to reopen. however, have a few questions we hop someone can help with: We could do with some tyres. The front is 2.5x21 which we can not find- will a 2.75 be suitable? On the rear we have a 3.0x18 as that was all we could find at the time. Think the original was 3.5 - does that sound correct? next is silencer: We are sure the rear silencer on our bike is not original and pretty noisy. Any advice on where we could find an quieter one? Anyone got pictures of an original? tha…

Hi All, Can a spilt in the outer [foral] be repaired and can I change outers so that the repaired fork can be put on the spring side only side and use the better outer for the damping side? Thanks P.S. I have seen some reference to conventional fork conversions. Is this hassle free or do brakes, wheels [and obviously triple clamps] need changing?

Hi I am new to this, Last time I rode a trails bike was 1972, I found a nice old Aprilia 311 in good shape. Just a few questions to start, What fuel mix should I run in the bike? Is there anyplace in the Us that has any parts? I started it on a 50 to 1 mix seemed to run ritch, but everything seemed fine. There is also a engine compression adjustment device on the front of the engine, I have never seen one? Thanks for the help, Mark

Guys, just acquired a tx311 , restoration project, but noticed it has a 25mm dellorto, is that standard or a misfit from previous owner? Andy.

Hi all, I was out with the Climber a week ago and it ran fine for an hour but then when it was on tick over just stoped and didn´t start again. Back home I have been tracing the problem and have tried or rather changed the carb, plug, plug cap, kill switch, and the black box under the tank. I have now found out that when the plug is out and its turned over there is no spark the most of the time unless you turn the engine over a lot faster then the spark apears again. It´s not possible to kick it over this fast with the plug in and it just fires up very very ocaisionaly for a couple of beats now and again. I´m thinking that it´s in the stator plate…
