Does anyone know the basic settings for the air and fuel screw???...It might help me....any other advice also welcome. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colly Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 try and turn all one way, then back count how many turns there was then, put it in the middle, and make sure the fuel mixture is right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
social climber Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 might sound a bit obvious, but have you checked your air filter? mine was running like a dog until I changed it. I had cleaned it out and oiled it, but that only worked for a wee while....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richywrecka Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 I've got myself a 1994 280 climber, just a quick question have you got a hydraulic clutch or cable ? Cant help with the carb settings but it sounds like you've got that one well and truely sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
social climber Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 cable clutch, think they all had, right up till the end of production..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuessenhigh Posted August 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Hi Folks, Thanks r2w....you're right. But the cable clutch wasn't the only strange thing. It was bloody hard to ride!!...getting back on my Rev3 tommorow, to try and remind myself that I'm not THAT crap a rider..(maybe). When all's said and done..I'd rather ride a more modern bike BUT..it was great to see the Aprilia running well again...(thanks to Heath). See ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richywrecka Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I must be bloody lucky then, I thought it looked like it had been converted to hydraulic on mine, all I can add is yippee! All the pipework and lever is all stamped aprilia though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-shock 250 Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 The very last models had a hydraulic clutch fitted, Tommi Ahvala had one on his climber just before the last models came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 The very last models had a hydraulic clutch fitted, Tommi Ahvala had one on his climber just before the last models came out. I think this is the clutch that Ray Peters has a hilarious horror story about. Has anybody heard it? I can't remember the specifics, it was late at night.

alan bechard Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Yep, it was, But I believe it had something to do with a biiiiiiiigggg hill, a near totally destroyed bike, and a little disbelief on the part of Mike Komer, until it happened to him. I believe at some point they would not disengage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuessenhigh Posted August 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 OUCH!!!......maybe I wont moan so much about a cable clutch next time then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe at some point they would not disengage. Right! I think Mike was the importer and Ray might have been riding for him. Ray launched the bike off the top of a huge hill because the clutch wouldn't disengage after the bike got hot. As we say, "Houston---we have a problem."
