Aprilia

Alright Chaps, My mate has just recently aquired what i belive to be a late 80's aprillia 280 (air cooled). as i am not familiar with these bike's myself could any of you knowledgable guys tell me what you use in yours. This may sound dumb but i am pretty new to the scene and a little rusty on this area myself all i know is what quantity to put into my montesa so if you could advise on ratio and how much oil that equates to per litre of fuel it would be much appreciated. Kind Regards, Ben Mallinson.

Does anyone know where could i get new clutch plates for this bike or if they cross over from another one, thankyou

does anyone know the correct spark plug i need for my 92 aprilia 280 climber? been told its a bp6evx? can i use the standard bp6es plug if this is the coeect one? its currently got a bp7es plug in it an d will not run properly without being on choke. will an incorrect plug cause this problem or do i have an air leak somewhere?????????

Hello we have revived our old 1982 Aprillia 50 trials and my son has started riding. After a carb and clutch rebuild it is running well and waiting for Milton Buzzards club to reopen. however, have a few questions we hop someone can help with: We could do with some tyres. The front is 2.5x21 which we can not find- will a 2.75 be suitable? On the rear we have a 3.0x18 as that was all we could find at the time. Think the original was 3.5 - does that sound correct? next is silencer: We are sure the rear silencer on our bike is not original and pretty noisy. Any advice on where we could find an quieter one? Anyone got pictures of an original? tha…

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…

I recommissioned a climber 280 a few months back, and it starts and runs ok. I'm more into enduro and figure the climber would be fun for some lite enduro as i'm too old to start learning how to ride over cars etc I'm concerned about snapping the kick start off, the compression is fierce, and the motor too. i'd be happy to tone it down a bit and i think people have done this in the past. My neighbour has suggested make a plate form 3mm copper to go in between the head and the barrel. the water channels and O'rings make this a bit of a challenge. has anyone else done this, or know how it was done in the day ?

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.

In tandem with my other post on reducing compression, i read that some people also reduce the flywheel weight to make the engine more responsive. as i think i intend to do light enduro on it, this would be better. i see the flywheel is a multipart item. any advice on how to set about this ?

Anybody got a picture of one? Air cooled Rotax, white tank (orange at bottom) and frame. Side picture if poss. Thanks Ross

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

So after a top end rattle noise I stripped the top end there is play in the crank large bearing top end has no play... I can get the crank kit or also I can get a full brand new crank already built up ..price is a bit hefty any advice on who could rebuild my bottom end for me ? I can rebuild the engine myself no problems but not confident in rebuilding a crank any help or suggestions where to start 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

Where's the best place to find a not too costly service manual for the TX 311 M/1?
