Revue Moto Technique (RMT) - repair manuals on motorcycles and scooters
The French company ETAI provides technical documentation for numerous car manufacturers and suppliers to the automotive industry. Since 1946 it also publishes various professional magazines, including the Revue Moto Technique.
Most Revue Moto Technique issues feature two separate, complete maintenance and repair manuals on two different motorcycles and/or scooters. They provide much more information than the owner's handbook, supplied by the manufacturer with each new motorcycle.
These manuals are based on a complete disassembly and assembly. The history of the two-wheelers concerned, important model changes, technical details, maintenance intervals as well as maintenance and repair operations are described in detail. Revue Moto Technique manuals also contain tables with adjustment data.
Unfortunately, publication of the Revue Moto Technique ceased in September 2021. The last edition was RMT 200, but current volumes from this series are still being reprinted.
