Technical Information & Links: We are attempting to create a comprehensive library of documents and technical information, provided as a free resource for persons interested in Russian motorcycles. All documents, videos and other files listed here retain the copyrights of their individual owners and are for personal, non-commercial use only. This library is being updated regularly: if you would like to submit a relative document for inclusion please contact me.
All the information presented here comes from other sources, and there are no guarantees that it's correct: I verify things as I can but common sense should prevail.

Personal thanks out to JD at bCozz and John van Ierland for their work in scanning many of these documents.


Again, this is and will remain a free resource. But I'm not above accepting donations to help cover hosting and maintenance costs. If you have a couple of bucks, euro, dinar or free range chickens to spare you can direct them towards a good cause here:

Benefactors:
