Aprilia

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

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

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.

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

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.

Hi all, I have goten hold of a 93 Climber that was a non runner when bought. The seller had changed the electronic ignition box last year before putting it away (he said it ran then). He couldn´t start it this year and then the kickstarter snapped. I now have a spare kickstart fitted and got the bike running (rough with it missing beats at tickover). I cleaned the rotor and pickups etc. with brake cleaner and disconnected the handelbar switch after that it ran better but when moving the wires that come through under the tank it seemed to have a problem. I now have the earth cut off after the connector and have run a wire up to a kill button. She now want´s to st…

HI. Just bought a TX311M and would like to change the gearbox and clutch oil before the first trial. What is the best oil to use and how much. Thanks

Anyone have a source for these in the USA? PN 932 501 -- Ball Bearing Mag Side 6206 TNH C3 and PN 232 750 -- Ball Bearing Clutch Side 3205 C3 and PN 932 904 -- Needle Cage Bearing 18mm x 22mm x 22mm Would also like to find breaker points and condenser. Any leads or substitutions would be appreciated . Trying to get this ready for Vintage this spring. I can find 6206 C3 bearings, but not with the TNH which I think is a poly race or retainer. Thanks, Dave

Hi there does anybody know if a 1993 climber 280 has got a nikasil plated bore.

I am rebuilding a pair of TX311 forks anyone know how much oil they take ?

So further to my earlier post, I acquired a climber 280 cheap as it had been standing for a while and possibly messed about with, or stuck in a shed due to a fault. The clutch appeared seized, not a great surprise if its been sat around, so I stripped it and checked it over and all seemed good and free and clean. However, when I reassemble it, its locked solid. the clutch actuating arm moves and you can feel the springs against it, but you can't disengage it. after hours of fiddling about I tried assembling it with only 2 weak springs (cross flow rocker shaft spacing springs), and then it works ok but obviously not with the engine running. So I measured my spr…

I bought a Climber clutch casing a while back at a jumble sale. I've only just opened the package and found that there is one vital part missing. It is the short rod which sits in the middle of the cover and pushes on the pressure plate when the clutch is actuated. What I need are the dimensions and then get one or two made. Many thanks in advance, Phil

Hi, I have an aprilia TX 300 with the engine block (crankcase and clutch) of an aprilia climber. Bring the original air-cooled cylinder. I would like to leave the clutch softer and I am looking for some docks to make it softer. Being a rotax engine may be worth the other models. Can someone help me? I will be very grateful. Thank you very much. Narciso

Hi. Can anyone supply me with the specification of the front forks for an Aprilia Climber 1992 280R. The forks feel quite hard, I have stripped forks down and found the internals to be a mix of parts to make it "work". An exploded diagram would be ideal with info like spring dimensions and spacer sizes etc so i can rebuild them somewhere near to the original specification. Any info greatly apprichiated. e-mail: nathanharold@blueyonder.co.uk if you can send any diagrams cheers nathan
