    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 ?

    A guy at our club asked me about testing the cooling fan on his 92 Aprila. I haven't seen the bike but he says there are three wires going into the fan and a single wire thermal switch. What is the best means to check if his fan is working? Can you direct me to a electrical schematic or tell me which wires to jumper across? Thanks for the help.

    Does anyone out there know what jetting there running in the Dellorto carb. I've got a 85 main and bike seems to load up and run rich over half throttle. Have gone thru carb, and have points and timing set correctly. Bike starts first kick runs great on bottom but loads up when you need to ring it out on a uphill section. Plug is dark. Just don't want to burn up the motor.

    Looking at getting a 93 Aprilia 280R Climber. Are there any flywheel weights available or will I need to machine something? How is the parts availability? I had a 92 and liked it a lot!

    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

    I was just wondering how high everyone runs their fork tubes in the triple tree ( yoke, steering stem , whatever you want to call it) upper clamps. I had mine flush since I've owned it ( a year) but have been wondering if lowering would give smoother steering, easier balance etc. Thanks for any opinions.
