Hi all, I`ve got the chance of a purple climber quite cheap,as its in a bit of a state but when I checked the frame numbers part of them seem to have been altered, the guy gave me the explanation that the local importer changed the numbers when new and as the number reads 93*** it would seem to tie in with the year. The bike is complete and original and with a bit of tlc and a front tyre could be made good just wanted any advice on numbers. Andy in north/east

Hi any info on the 300 twinshock how do they compare to a 240/300 fantic and are the engines the same as the swm thanks.

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'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

Do any of you Aprilia guys have (or know of) a TX300 twinshock for sale? Can't remember seeing one in the 80's, were any imported into UK?

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??

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

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

anyone know where i can get a kickstart for one of these also where the best place for general spares ie plastics if avalible

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

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

Can anyone tell me where to get spares for my 1992 climber 280r. Also cannot find a vin number only a frame number (0092024). I am in the UK.

Bought this recently, has anyone got an idea of the age and how to check its a 280cc. Will be useful for ordering parts. Also how much play is acceptable of the front disc bobbins? 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…
