Aprilia

Guys, just acquired a tx311 , restoration project, but noticed it has a 25mm dellorto, is that standard or a misfit from previous owner? Andy.

Any suggestions of best sprocket combination ? 10/11 & 42 seems to be the most common. Thanks Ross

Hi All, Anybody have the bearing part number or specs for the spherical jobbie in the lower shock mount? I pretty sure its a 90 280cc.

I just picked up a 93 Aprillia Climber last night. It’s in good original condition. Just needs some maintenance. It came with a lot of new and extra parts. I need to weld the tab for the rear fender mount. I noticed the swingarm is a little loose. Anyone know the bearing sizes or if there is a bearing, sleeve and seal kit for the swingarm?

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!!

Hi All, Can a spilt in the outer [foral] be repaired and can I change outers so that the repaired fork can be put on the spring side only side and use the better outer for the damping side? Thanks P.S. I have seen some reference to conventional fork conversions. Is this hassle free or do brakes, wheels [and obviously triple clamps] need changing?

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

HI can anybody please advise the oil mix for my TX300? ( Rotax engine) and at the risk of opening a can of worms; what is the best 2 stroke oil to use please ? thanks in advance

Hello again. Has anyone got the full spec for a 280 climber carb. I have a good carb but the bike was originally a 240. I would like to know if it's just jets or needle and slide that need changing. Thanks

I recently picked up a TX311 frame, exhaust, rear suspension etc. I just bought a TXR312 last night in need of a lot of work. What are the differences between the two models (besides rear brake and shock)? The frames look similar except for extra tabs on the 312 for shock, extra mount on mid muffler. On my 312 the shock is leaking oil, bearings are bad. Has wrong muffler. The 311 swingarm, shock, suspension bearings, frame, exhaust are all good. Thanks

Hi guys, I'm after some help on a aprilia climber 240 I purchased, I seem to be having problems starting it, I think I've manage to put it down to a spark problem, it doesn't seem to be sparking all the time, any suggestions, and does any one know the ohms readings for the stator/windings, any information would be much appreciated

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 Everyone. Just got an Aprillia 280 climber trials bike, all the wiring has been disconnected. Can anyone give me some advise! Cheers, Tony.

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

Have a look at the early Aprilia towards the end, Hiro engine ? Also a good selection of SWM's,Italjets etc.

Here is my new Toy for the "Aircooled Mono Class".Will get it in a forthnight. Cheers:Mike

I've acquired an Aprilia Climber. It's a 280, a 1993 model. Tommy Ahvala won the world title in 1992. So this is the replica, celebrating the Italian manufacturer's world championship victory. I fitted a Paioli RSD fork while waiting for the original Foral to be restored. It looks really nice. I spent a lot of time on the Foral fork. Bertrand Quartier had warned me about the rather poor quality of this component. Indeed, it's not great. Furthermore, a previous disassembly by someone less experienced had damaged the hydraulic system. I repaired it to get it working again. The fork was binding badly. The friction bushi…

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

Does anyone have or know where to find the diagrams for the chassis parts diagrams. I have the engine diagrams, but can't seem to find the chassis. I did find a 86TX311 but there are too many differences.

I bought a climber 280 cheap for some fun and before I fire it up I thought I would change the oil. I found a woodruff key stuck to the magnetic sump plug which is a worry. So maybe that's why it was laid up and cheap ? I see from page 14 of the manual attached there is a woodruff key each side of the crank. In the picture the clutch/carb is nearest. The key the other side must hold the flywheel though its not shown, and I guess this is the dry side, so if they was in the oil it must be the clutch side ? Any thoughts. How do I get the pesky clutch main nut off - is there a trick, maybe jamming the chain ? thanks 242ccet282ccTLAprilia1994.pdf
