Hi I have an Aprilia Climber which i use to have some fun on at weekends, and just lately it has started overheating, i have checked the fan by shorting down to earth and it works fine, so i need to replace the temp sender. Can anybody help me with a outlet that can supply me with one of these? regards Russ

Can anyone help me? My 1988 Climber was reving very high. So I suspected an air leak. I replaced the flywheel side crank oil seal, and found a little bit of play in the main bearing that side. Now it only seams to want to run on choke, and still revs quite high. Any suggestions? I was wondering about the carb boot the that goes into the side casing??

Hi guys, I'm after some help on a aprilia climber 240 I purchased, I seem to be having problems starting it, I think I've manage to put it down to a spark problem, it doesn't seem to be sparking all the time, any suggestions, and does any one know the ohms readings for the stator/windings, any information would be much appreciated

So, I have an Aprilia climber 280, i bought it a few months ago and its a bit tatty! I have replaced the kickstart lever, the brake pads, the gearchange lever and the rear shock. I will be riding it again soon to check if it was worth while or not! I got the kichstart lever and gearchange lever from Andover Norton - they were really helpfull and matched my old parts up in no time at all! The pads were from wemoto - although took 2 months to arrive (although i blame the post not them) the shock was an ebay item but again i was lucky to receive a tidy item! im quite new to trials so i dont have any wonderful hints or tips for the Aprilia crowd but im sure there will b…

Hi, I'm new to trials riding and have just bought an Aprilia Climber 280 1994. I'm not sure if this was a great move because I can't find an owners manual for it. Can anyone advise me on where I can source one or give me advice on oil capacities, grades and service information i.e. plug gaps etc... Any info would be gratefully received! Many thanks

I've acquired an Aprilia Climber. It's a 280, a 1993 model. Tommy Ahvala won the world title in 1992. So this is the replica, celebrating the Italian manufacturer's world championship victory. I fitted a Paioli RSD fork while waiting for the original Foral to be restored. It looks really nice. I spent a lot of time on the Foral fork. Bertrand Quartier had warned me about the rather poor quality of this component. Indeed, it's not great. Furthermore, a previous disassembly by someone less experienced had damaged the hydraulic system. I repaired it to get it working again. The fork was binding badly. The friction bushi…

Hi all. New here and looking for some help finding ignition parts for a older bike. Its a 1993 Aprilia 280 climber and the young one purchased it with no spark. I told him to make sure parts were still available before pulling the trigger. Unfortunately, , most all of the links showing spare parts were zombie ads and looking like I may need to help adapt a workaround for him if we are not able to find a drop in replacement for the CDI. The original stator coil that powers the CDI was rotten-open so we rewound it and it is generating good voltage now, the pickup is checking out also but still no spark so a CDI is also looks to be in need of replacement. Not finding…

Hi, I've recently acquired a 1994 Aprilia Climber 280 but I'm having a hard time trying to find parts & a workshop manual for it. I currently need a new clutch master cylinder as the old Grimeca one has seized but I can't find an alternative anywhere? I also need to know where to drain & fill both the engine & transmission oils (I've been told the transmission oil has been drained).

I recently got this climber 280. I'm told its a 91 or 92 but I cannot find any vin decoder to verify that. Can anyone familiar with them tell from the pictures what year it range it is? I'm doing a full fluids swap on it as its been sitting for about 2 years. What gear oil should viscosity should I be using? From my research I've just found people saying a wet clutch compatible oil but cannot find any specifics on the weight. It also looks like the forks are collapsed, I haven't had a chance to tear into them yet to see if anything is broken but wanted to throw it out there to see if anyone has run into something like this in the past before I go in blind. Any…

Hello all, Although I've been messing around on a TY80 then an '81 Cota 349 since I was a nipper I've only just decided to get into competitions. I sent my membership to the Knock M.C.C over here in N. Ireland, bought some cheap kit off eBay ( new, but cheap..) and finally got meself a '93 Aprilia Climber 280R. I've trawled though this forum and NO-ONE seems to mention this bike. It is in great condition and in the two weeks I've had it it seems to pull like a train ( I weigh an even 18st - rugby player, not a completely fat B*****d. .). However, it seem that they weren't that popular as there sod all on the web about them. So, does anyone have any opinions / tech …
