Aprilia Climber Forks

Featured Replies

Hi, i am new to this site and am trying to find some help regarding my trials bike. I am the proud owner of an aprilia climber 280 (world championship replica) i have had a few problems with this bike, any engine problems see the rotax man, he can get any part. Lately i have been advancing to the level of trials where the front suspention's performance becomes critical and have noticed it is slightly hard and jerky. Upon investigation some pillock who owned the bike before me has "modified" the suspention internals using parts off a different bike so the suspention does not work how it shoud. I know parts are very limited for this machine but any information on what i could do or what forks may fit this bike off another bike or if i can fix the internals...whatever. any information would be greatly appriciated as it is out of use at the moment.

Many thanks

Nathan

I Guess these are the upside down Piolli (or similar spelling) forks. If so send me a personal message with your email address and ill email you the parts sheet detailing the components and order fitted.
