Aprilia

HI All, Does anyone know how to remove the flywheel on the Hiro engine. It seems to be in two parts. Does it need a special puller? I am trying to get to see the ignition system to see if it is set correctly, which leads to me next question. How do you set it?? Thks Bruce

I went riding on the aprilia and noticed the front tyre was flat. So i got the bike home and decided to put in a new innertube. Then i thought, while its hear i will get the exhaust off and pull that dint out........ So i ignored the front wheel for the moment and undid the first exhaust bolt, then my cheap allen key snapped off in the second exhaust stud so i couldnt get it out. A Bit miffed i decided to take the tank off and see if i could get better access to the offending allen screw. When i got the tank off i noticed 2 things. 1 - the tank was beginning to melt onto the exhaut (thats what the smell was!) and 2) there were some cracks in the frame, about 7 or 8 cracks…

Would someone do me a favour and measure the thickness of the spacers that go between the sump guard and the frame at the front. Thanks Ross

So, I've got this '94 model i'm fixing up and riding a bit... long list so far, but just on the brakes / forks: I've replaced the fork seals and oil, cleaned and buffed the front rotor with 3M scotchbrite pad on an air-tool, replaced the brake pads with pads from the Tryals Shop here in the USA, and replaced all the front brake fluid and vacuum bled the system. Its much better than it was, but it will barely pull the back tire off the ground even when i bounce the rear end and compress the forks. I used to ride stoppies on sportbikes and supermoto, and even did a few on my '05 BMW 1200 GS but almost nothing on this aprilia. Has anyone ever made or mounted a larger…

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 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.

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

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

hi guys , need a new piston for tx240 ,any ideas where to try for one, will probably be 1st oversize cheers

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

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?

Anyone else got one ?

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

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

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. 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
