Aprilia

Hi I have just bought a 1993/4 ish climber as a non runner. Some one has been in at the disc valve which was out, but I have set it as per the www.rotax.co.uk uk parts list instructions (I think). The previous owner has apparently changed the piston and rings due to low compression. The bike now has very strong compression maybe a little more than I would expect. I have checked over the carb and this looks to be set up just about right. 105 main jet and needle clip second from the bottom. I have tried the old squirt wd40 in the carb mouth to get over any carb problems. (I know this sounds a bit daft but its worked for me as an indicator for many years) This…

Hi, I own an Aprilia climber 280 '94 and I need CDI unit. I can't find anywhere. Can anyone help? Is there a possibility to match a coil from another brand or model? Stelios, Greece

I could use some help i have had my bike standing for a couple of months and the clutch has stopped working , i have stripped it down as far as i dare and all seems in order , put it all back and still no joy. the problem is i can pull the clutch lever in and it wont work( ie the engine is still driving the wheel ) ,the springs on the plate must be working because the lever springs right back . is it something simple i am missing ?

I bought a Climber clutch casing a while back at a jumble sale. I've only just opened the package and found that there is one vital part missing. It is the short rod which sits in the middle of the cover and pushes on the pressure plate when the clutch is actuated. What I need are the dimensions and then get one or two made. Many thanks in advance, Phil

Hi. Can anyone supply me with the specification of the front forks for an Aprilia Climber 1992 280R. The forks feel quite hard, I have stripped forks down and found the internals to be a mix of parts to make it "work". An exploded diagram would be ideal with info like spring dimensions and spacer sizes etc so i can rebuild them somewhere near to the original specification. Any info greatly apprichiated. e-mail: nathanharold@blueyonder.co.uk if you can send any diagrams cheers nathan

hello, My bike is, aprilia climber 240(1994) is spills oil from the gear/kickstart shaft, i think it spills it form between, what could it be? the other problem is that the gear shaft dislcoates from its place when applying little force on it towards the outside when trying to remove. please help! thankyou jose

hi all can anyone tell me what the ign timing should be on a 280 watercooled engine, in mm btdc please. i've just found that the ign coils on the inside of the rotor cover had come loose. hence it was backfiring and obviously wouldn't run . iv'e set the coils in the middle of the adjustment limits, and got it running, but would like to get it right before using it again.....many thanks

Recently purchased a climber 280 on line and i was wondering if any members had managed to find any manuals regaring this bike either on download or purchase.it seems the only info i can find seems to be on this forum.i know this bike is approx 1989 but surely there must be info out there reference oil/fuel mix, oil to be used in gearbox etc.also where to get spare parts, when i bought this bike it came with loads but where do you get brake pads from? any tips or info would be a great help!!

I want to know if anyone has a list of parts that might cross over with other bikes or possibly even cars. I have started a list and have the rear wheel bearings and seals in there. I would like to know if the temp sending unit crosses over, any of the rotors swap out with other bikes, you know stuff like that. We can post it for all to see since parts are getting harder to come by. This is my first trials bike and am loving it, if I want to keep it running and maintained we will need to know where to get parts. I have seen it done with other older bikes and it works good. People rallied after Excellsior Henderson went out of business in 2000 and created a parts lis…

Hi guys. I own a 1992 aprilia climber 280R. The rear shock has gone and is bouncing around, making it hard to drive. Anyone know where to get a replacement part? Cheers Nathan

I was wondering if there was a dealer who specialised in Aprilia parts in the UK. I don't need many spares at the moment but a dealer who could help is always a bonus. Thanks in advance because I know you all have a wealth of knowledge. Richard

can anyone help me out,ive a 280 climber and the big end bearing has gone,i only need the bearing and not the full con rod kit,as this is to buy

I wanted to know how to regulate my aprilia climber's fork, it has two different "screws" or whatever they are called to regulate, one is in the gas bomb and the other is on the lower part of the spring, what do each of this things regulate? pd: sorry for my bad english

hello all I'm looking at improving my fork behaviour again. Last year I replaced seals and oil , put in 260 cc of 20wt as I saw recommended on this board. It was way too harsh , I couldn't ease a wheelie down without hand shock. I switched to ATF which is 10 wt ( ? ) better but still harsh. I have since seen a recommendation of 10-20 wt in the rebound fork and 5 wt in the compression side. This sounds like a good idea but I'm not sure which is which. Is the fork with the adjuster for rebound? Also there is 2 allen screws on the top of the left fork , the one clicks so I assumed it is for adjusting rebound damping, clock wise ( ? )for more damping ( less spring back ) .…

Hi Guys, Really could use some suggestions here. I am based in New Zealand and as far as I can tell Aprilia never imported trials bikes here. So, no parts supplier. Can any one suggest a dealer or supplier I could use to get parts? Cheers Iain
