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…

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

I was just wondering how you would change the engines oil in an Aprilia 280 i cant seem to see how to do so and was wondering whether some one could give me some advise? Thanks Henry

Hi I have the usual problem of the paint peeling of my fuel tank. Does anyone know of a product I can seal the tank with,. I know there are products for steel and fibreglass but I dont know of one for plastic. Thanks

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and god am I glad to have found it! Last week I bought an Aprilia TXR311 air cooled. Nice tidy bike, bought it for a good price as a "reluctant starter" Saw it running and rode it on the day, apart from the clutch slipping a little and being a bit rich all was well. Got it home and set about kicking it over with no joy, went through all the obvious checks, it has a very good spark, so much compresion I can put all my weight on the kickstart, fresh fuel, and after taking out the dirty partially collapsed filter it's getting air. In my book it should run, even if it's rough and needing tuning. 4 hours of kicking, towing behind a car, changi…

Since i, ve got the bike i always had to refill water every time i rode, but lately it started spilling more, the water is always refilled correctly,i do not know from where the water scapes, but theres always some in the cylinders head and all around, maybe thats only part of it when it is overcharged. Really i do not know, y checked the cylinder joint and they seem all right but i send to replace anyway. maybe this thing can help to fix the problem, the cooler is a special anti freeze (i know that it has nothing to do but maybe) the bike was stopped for 5 to 10 years (i really dont know) when opening the expansion tank while engine is on, it won't jump out and it i…

Hi guys! Can anyone confirm whether this is actually the 2018 model? (LINK) My friend says its not but the sales representative claims that it is. I've been burned before and I want to take all precautions before going any further with this dealer. Thanks and happy riding!

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 noticed that the bushing at the bottom of the rear shock is a little sloppy , does any one know of the replacement part # or is there a readily available part available through a bearing shop/ industrial supply?

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.

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

Hi. Can anyone advise on the ring gap on a 280cc climber. Thanks

Hey, anyone know anything about setting the rotary valve timing on a 1993 Aprilia climber 280r , where is the timing mark ,degree ,etc anything would be awesome. Thanks

Any links or places to purchase please? Need to see diagram of kickstart and gear select. My kickstart spindle can be pushed into caseing with no kickstart on, and gear lever just pulls out. 280 climber Many thanks

100% newbie, but old. Just bought a old April Climber, site-unseen; had delivered. Bike seems mostly okay, but the rotors are rusty & pitted. The rear brake does not work well at all. The hydraulics & pads are good and seem to be contacting ok. Should I consider getting the rotors turned or is rusty okay, as the seller insists? Thanks.
