Aprilia

Does anyone know where I can get a manual for my 240 Climber. I bought it with the engine in bits just need new rings and torques etc and should have it back running again.

For those who are looking for an engine i saw one on an Dutch site http://www.schaaptrialsport.nl/ -> onderdelen -> gebruikt. Only bigend is damaged

So, I've got this '94 model i'm fixing up and riding a bit... long list so far, but just on the brakes / forks: I've replaced the fork seals and oil, cleaned and buffed the front rotor with 3M scotchbrite pad on an air-tool, replaced the brake pads with pads from the Tryals Shop here in the USA, and replaced all the front brake fluid and vacuum bled the system. Its much better than it was, but it will barely pull the back tire off the ground even when i bounce the rear end and compress the forks. I used to ride stoppies on sportbikes and supermoto, and even did a few on my '05 BMW 1200 GS but almost nothing on this aprilia. Has anyone ever made or mounted a larger…

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

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

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.

Whats the best pads for these ? Presently using sintered ones which have no feel and little stopping power, but at least they are consistent ! Any clever tricks to improve it ? Thanks Ross

Would someone do me a favour and measure the thickness of the spacers that go between the sump guard and the frame at the front. Thanks Ross

Hi guys Anyone know where I can get hold of original clutch cables for either of these bikes? They were more flexible than the latest Venhill cables and it helps with routing Please help!!!!! Dave

Anybody know which throttle and which carb was std fitment on a 1992 - 1994 240/280 ?

hi, can someone please help. i have a txr 240 that did not come with a carb. i need the specs(ie jets sizes etc) for the dellorto phbh 26mm. any help will be much appreciated. regards willie.

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…

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

how do i tell what size motor my climber has ?

hi fella,s just joined this site and just aquired an aprilia climber , would appreciate some feedback on a couple of issues , iv,e had loads of bikes over the years but never a rotax jobbie and as you all know they all have thier own ways of getting on your last nerve . so first off bike runs for 5 seconds and dies ,cleaned carb out with airline , the same! mains are rumbling , plug soaked when stops ,and what is the 2 stroke mix on this bike , regards lee

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

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
