hi.. new to this forum...here in new zealand i have one of the few 280r s around and have had to be self sufficient,, owned for 14 years!!!

fork seals are 47-35-7/10 nd readily available.. pilot jet, runs best on a 320 size(had mine drilled by the local gas repair man as couldnt source a ldelorto, kickstart lever part number, use 81 35 325m shorter and better

i have a climber parts list that aprilia italy sent me as there was no agent here and they suggested that i contact a florence italy shop called "centro ricambi" ....parts were cheap BUT i think that this shop has closed.

engine is rotax and identical to the american ATK bikes except watercooled.... found bike was too high geared so fitted a 48 rear sprocket, now use 2nd/3rd in sections instead of 1st/2nd. generally fun to ride but outdated now

dont want to scan parts book but can supply numbers as requested

cheers

The Tryals Shop here in the states was the place to get parts for the Aprilia.

If you need to contact them here is the link.

Mike Komer would be able to answer any of your questions.

thanks for the reply

worked in a bike shop here so sourcing parts not too much of a problem.. have had to be self sufficient for years.
