Aprilia

Hi , recently got into trials riding so purchased a Aprilia climber to start off on as it was cheap and in need of a bit of tarting up . I have stripped the forks down to find nothing about what oil to put back into them . They are Marzocchi 35mm stantions , they are on a 93 model too. Any help or info about this bike would be welcomed . Michael.

my rear pads are getting thin and my local bike shop (non-trials ) is having a hard time matching a replacement for the Galfer 1805gf that I took out. If you have a source for manufacturer and part #'s that would be great . Also are there different compounds available and what would their characteristics be? many thanks

Hi peeps! Just bought a climber 280 today and been trawling the net for info which landed me here. I've read the posts before and yes mine does have leaking fork seals..oh joy as it seems to be a common issue with these bikes..I was rather interested in the 3 seal mod mentioned elsewere in the forum as a possible fix!! If anybody on here has any tech info on these bikes I'd be very grateful, any manuals or parts suppliers contact details..that kinda thing..to be honest i dont even know the oil pre mix ratio so was going to play safe with 30:1 as thats what i run the track RGV on I've seen 50:1 or 70:1 but what do you guys use? Thanks in advance for an…

Hi all just brought an aprilia 94 climber but need parts for gear box or a complete gear box any body no of any place in uk that sell parts many thanks Dave

Anyone else got one ?

Where's the best place to find a not too costly service manual for the TX 311 M/1?

100% newbie, but old. Just bought a old April Climber, site-unseen; had delivered. Bike seems mostly okay, but the rotors are rusty & pitted. The rear brake does not work well at all. The hydraulics & pads are good and seem to be contacting ok. Should I consider getting the rotors turned or is rusty okay, as the seller insists? Thanks.

Hi all, I have aquired a 280 Climber which is now running but quite unstable at tick over and just above. I have found that the PHBH26CS carb which is the air screw version (not the petrol adjustment screw type) seems to be missing one of the jets. The Pilot jet is I think made up of 2 jets one is deep down and a sort of atomizing jet or idle imulsion tube as its´s listed (which is marked with 68) and there should be an idle jet "deep" sitting in front of this but it´s missing. Can anyone help with the size needed ?

What's the parts availability like for one of these, looking to buy one

Does anyone have any idea what they look like ? Or what to use instead ?

I purchased a '92(?) Aprilia Climber 280 (purple tank and yellow fenders) a while back and found out that I need to replace the piston, rings, O-rings, wrist pin bearing and some other parts. I haven't been able to find much. Mike at the Tryals Shop in NY was very helpful but even he gave up trying to find pistons. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, it's going to have to be sold as a parts bike.

i have a aprilia climber 240 have had it for about 5 months now and had no problems wth it till now. The bike was running fine then it just cut out took plug out to see if it was sparking and no spark so i changed the plug and it worked for about a hour and then the same no spark with new plug so i got another plug and that is sparking. any one know what could be causeing this to happen also dose anyone know what spark plug should be in a climber 240......................... thanks simon

I converted my engine into 280cc and kept the same carburetor settings, the bike has plenty of torque but top speed is slower, do the jets on the 280s are different? anybody know the sizes of them? Thankyou

I have been looking around and been trying to find a place that sells and suplies parts for a climber 280r bike??? Does any one now of a web site or shop that sells these parts many thanks? Henry

hi whats the general opinion ot the 96 aprilia climber 240 for reliability and spares just looking for a muckabout until i find the right bike cheers...

Can anyone confirm the black wire from the cdi unit is the kill one. (Other three white, orange and brown) Thanks

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

I just acquired cheaply a bike the seller says is a 1991 Climber 260. Its needs a few bits and apart from ebay where else is best for info on these ? I need:- spark plug carb seat tank Seat and tank for 280s are cheap enough on ebay, will the 280 stuff fit a 260 (if indeed it is) ? What make and model is the carb ? Whats the recommend premix, like a 40:1 with a decent synth 2 stroke oil ? I figure this bike will be some fun in addition to the ensure bikes I have.

I've been offered what will end up a very cheap Aprilia Climber in a deal but the owner is unsure of model year..........It's either late 80's or early 90's I think. I assume that I will need to get the frame number to date it accurately rather than just go by the colour scheme? If done by frame number can someone please point me in the direction of where / how to get it dated. My experience of Aprilia road bike dealers & spares availability has been pretty poor, so advice on who to contact if I need parts would also be gratefully received. Thanks
