Ha Marianne,
You're the one from the Dutch Tenere forum?
During our trip in Africa one overhauled standard rear shock lost all the oil and was replaced by Technoflex. On the other bike the rear shock (also standard and overhauled) just made it to RSA. The nitrogen has already disappeared, oil will follow after some more off-road.
The endless coorugations are the worst for the shock: we had one shock with a sticker on it that caught flame because the shock heated up so much.
Advice would be to at least change the spring to heavier, better would be (pain for the wallet) to have a good after market one.
Driving off-road with a broken shock is a serious challenge!
Auke
