If you own or even if you dont and have heard about this bike what are your opinions of it??? Thanks Henry

Friend of mine recently bought an Aprilia Climber in rough condition, any idea of parts availability in the US or value of the bike?

any ideas on how the scavenge pipe from the crank case is suposed to work? runs great disconnected with a little air escaping from crankcase breather, connect it to carb and the bike runs as if the choke is on. conection to carb is clear. is it building up pressure in the carb? should the pipe have air puffing out of the crankcase breather cheers guys for any info

does anyone know the correct spark plug i need for my 92 aprilia 280 climber? been told its a bp6evx? can i use the standard bp6es plug if this is the coeect one? its currently got a bp7es plug in it an d will not run properly without being on choke. will an incorrect plug cause this problem or do i have an air leak somewhere?????????

When i was putting back the forks on my aprilia climber I noticed i didnt take any pictures to remember how it was assembled. Here are some pictures of the parts I have for on the leg that has the spring. I dont know if the aluminuim spacer goes inside the rubber spacer and the order everything is assembled. Anything would be of great help.

In tandem with my other post on reducing compression, i read that some people also reduce the flywheel weight to make the engine more responsive. as i think i intend to do light enduro on it, this would be better. i see the flywheel is a multipart item. any advice on how to set about this ?

Having issues bleeding rear caliper any one come across this before any hints I've bled all bikes in past never an issue but this thing will not take fluid to the caliper I've even tryd a pressure bleeder

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

Does anyone know how much oil goes in the gearbox and where is the oil filler ?

does anyone have an idea how much an engine rebuild would be for my 1992 aprilia climber 280?? is it worth doing? thanks.

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

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, 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).

Hi guys can anyone let me know the model year changes of Climber's and what to look for? I have a SWM so I know the Rotex lump should be bombproof so more worried over chassis. How is the parts situation? Thanks for your help

So, in addition to the front fork issue, I now need to strip out the rear shock. Again, I cannot find any information about this unit and the only identifier is the Aprilia logo in the lower aluminium casting. It looks a little like a Paioli unit, but cant be sure. Does anyone have anything useful that might help me? I am assuming that the shaft needs a pair of aluminium split blocks clamped to it to remove the end fork. There are no lock nuts anywhere and additionally there is no link between the rebound adjuster ring and the rebound adjuster rod that runs through the damper shaft. Ideas please but not on a postcard.....

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.

Hi all, I'm trying to find a replacement rear disc (ideally new) for my 93 Climber, anyone any ideas? I've tried EBC and no luck so far. Did Aprilia use the disc on any other models. Nothing showing on e'Bay at the moment either. Thanks Dunc

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

US/Canada would be ideal (I'm in Canada) but open to anywhere. TIA
